DRAM, a p53-Induced Modulator of Autophagy, Is Critical for Apoptosis

TL;DR: DRAM (damage-regulated autophagy modulator), a p53 target gene encoding a lysosomal protein that induces macroautophagy, is described as an effector of p53-mediated death and its relationship to p53 function and damage-induced programmed cell death is highlighted.
Journal Article

Gene Expression Profiling of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma with cDNA Microarrays

TL;DR: The use of cDNA microarrays containing 1238 cDNAs to investigate the gene expression profile of a group of seven alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) cell lines determined that ARMS cells show a consistent pattern of gene expression, which allows the cells to be clustered together.
Journal ArticleDOI

MEK1 and MEK2 inhibitors and cancer therapy: the long and winding road.

TL;DR: How some of the systems-level properties of the ERK pathway present a challenge for the success of MEK1 and MEK2 inhibitors is considered, as well as mechanisms of resistance to these inhibitors, and their clinical progress is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

AZD6244 (ARRY-142886), a potent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase 1/2 kinases: mechanism of action in vivo, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship, and potential for combination in preclinical models

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of AZD6244 in combination with cytotoxic drugs was evaluated in mice bearing SW-620 xenografts, and the results indicated that enhanced antitumor efficacy can be obtained by combining AZD-6244 with either irinotecan or docetaxel.
