Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signalling axis in cancer.
TL;DR: Treatments that target the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway in patients with cancer are poised to provide therapeutic benefit by directly inhibiting tumour cell growth and by stimulating antitumour immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
BET Inhibition Overcomes Receptor Tyrosine Kinase–Mediated Cetuximab Resistance in HNSCC
Brandon Leonard,Toni M. Brand,Rachel A. O'Keefe,Eliot D. Lee,Yan Zeng,Jacquelyn D. Kemmer,Hua Li,Jennifer R. Grandis,Neil E. Bhola +8 more
TL;DR: Inhibition of bromodomain protein BRD4 represents a potential therapeutic strategy to circumvent the toxicities and financial burden of targeting the multiple receptor tyrosine kinases that drive cetuximab resistance in HNSCC and NSCLC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-talk Signaling between HER3 and HPV16 E6 and E7 Mediates Resistance to PI3K Inhibitors in Head and Neck Cancer.
Toni M. Brand,Stefan Hartmann,Neil E. Bhola,Hua Li,Yan Zeng,Rachel A. O'Keefe,Max V. Ranall,Sourav Bandyopadhyay,Margaret Soucheray,Nevan J. Krogan,Carolyn Kemp,Umamaheswar Duvvuri,Theresa LaVallee,Daniel Johnson,Michelle A. Ozbun,Julie E. Bauman,Jennifer R. Grandis +16 more
TL;DR: It is reported that HPV(+) cell line- and patient-derived xenografts are resistant to PI3K inhibitors due to feedback signaling emanating from E6 and E7, and cross-talk between HER3 and HPV oncoproteins promotes resistance to PI2K inhibitors, suggesting cotargeting HER3-targeted therapies may be an effective therapeutic strategy in HPV(+ tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A protein network map of head and neck cancer reveals PIK3CA mutant drug sensitivity.

Grandis,J. Silvio Gutkind,Trey Ideker,Nevan J. Krogan +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for elucidating tumor genetic complexity through multidimensional protein-protein interaction maps and applying it to enhancing our understanding of head and neck squamous cell was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical Properties of a Decoy Oligodeoxynucleotide Inhibitor of STAT3 Transcription Factor.
TL;DR: A ligation efficiency of nearly 95 percent is reported and the ligated CS3D demonstrated a half-life of 7.9 h in human serum, indicating adequate stability for intravenous delivery, and requisite biochemical characterization ofCS3D is provided that will inform upcoming clinical trials.
