Journal ArticleDOI
A landscape effect in tenosynovial giant-cell tumor from activation of CSF1 expression by a translocation in a minority of tumor cells.
Robert B. West,Brian P. Rubin,Melinda A. Miller,Subbaya Subramanian,Gülşah Kaygusuz,Kelli Montgomery,Shirley Zhu,Robert J. Marinelli,Alessandro De Luca,Erinn Downs-Kelly,John R. Goldblum,Christopher L. Corless,Patrick O. Brown,C. Blake Gilks,Torsten O. Nielsen,David G. Huntsman,Matt van de Rijn +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that CSF1 is the gene at the chromosome 1p13 breakpoint and suggested a tumor-landscaping effect with aberrant CSF 1 expression in the neoplastic cells, leading to the abnormal accumulation of nonneoplastic Cells that form a tumorous mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplification of PVT1 Contributes to the Pathophysiology of Ovarian and Breast Cancer
Yinghui Guan,Wen Lin Kuo,Jackie L. Stilwell,Hirokuni Takano,Anna Lapuk,Jane Fridlyand,Jian-Hua Mao,Mamie Yu,Melinda A. Miller,Jennifer Santos,Steve E. Kalloger,Joseph W. Carlson,David G. Ginzinger,Susan E. Celniker,Gordon B. Mills,David G. Huntsman,Joe W. Gray +16 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that MYC and PVT1 contribute independently to ovarian and breast pathogenesis when overexpressed because of genomic abnormalities, and suggest that PVT 1-mediated inhibition of apoptosis may explain why amplification of 8q24 is associated with reduced survival duration in patients treated with agents that act through apoptotic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
PIK3CA and PIK3CB inhibition produce synthetic lethality when combined with estrogen deprivation in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer
Robert J. Crowder,Chanpheng Phommaly,Yu Tao,Jeremy Hoog,Jingqin Luo,Charles M. Perou,Joel S. Parker,Melinda A. Miller,David G. Huntsman,Li Lin,Jacqueline E. Snider,Sherri R. Davies,John A. Olson,Mark A. Watson,Anthony J. Saporita,Jason D. Weber,Matthew J. Ellis +16 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that PI3K inhibitors should target both p110alpha and p110beta catalytic subunits, whether wild-type or mutant, and be combined with endocrine therapy for maximal efficacy when treating ER(+) breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion is increased in moderate to poorly differentiated prostate cancers
Ashish Rajput,Melinda A. Miller,Alessandro De Luca,Niki Boyd,Samuel Leung,Antonio Hurtado-Coll,Ladan Fazli,Edward C Jones,Jodie Palmer,M. Gleave,Michael E. Cox,David G. Huntsman +11 more
TL;DR: This study indicates that TMPRSS2:ERG gene rearrangements in CaP may be used as a diagnostic tool to identify prognostically relevant sub-classifications of these cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Translocation and expression of CSF1 in pigmented villonodular synovitis, tenosynovial giant cell tumor, rheumatoid arthritis and other reactive synovitides.
John S. Cupp,Melinda A. Miller,Kelli Montgomery,Torsten O. Nielsen,John X. O'Connell,David G. Huntsman,Matt van de Rijn,C. B. Gilks,Robert B. West +8 more
TL;DR: The consistent presence of CSF1 overexpression in all cases of PVNS/TGCT and reactive synovitides suggests both an important role for CSf1 in the spectrum of synovial pathologies and the possibility of targeting the CSF 1/CSF1R interaction therapeutically.
