Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of Pin1 Suppresses Hedgehog-Driven Medulloblastoma Tumorigenesis.
Tao Xu,Honglai Zhang,Sung Soo Park,Sriram Venneti,Rork Kuick,Kimberly Ha,Lowell Evan Michael,Mariarita Santi,Chiyoko Uchida,Takafumi Uchida,Ashok Srinivasan,James M. Olson,Andrzej A. Dlugosz,Sandra Camelo-Piragua,Jean François Rual +14 more
TL;DR: The discovery of the GLI1/PIN1 interaction uncovers PIN1 as a novel therapeutic target in Hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma tumorigenesis, and in vivo functional analyses of Pin1 in the GFAP-tTA;TRE-SmoA1 mouse model demonstrate that the loss of Pin 1 impairs tumor development and dramatically increases survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bcl6 Is Expressed in Neuroblastoma: Tumor Cell Type-Specific Expression Predicts Outcome
Aghiad Chamdin,Jason A. Jarzembowski,Chitra Subramanian,Rork Kuick,Julia Shin Jung Lee,Roland P.S. Kwok,Valerie P. Castle,Anthony W. Opipari +7 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that Bcl6 may be useful as a prognostic marker and might represent a potential therapeutic target for high-risk NB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β in Pancreatic Cancer and its Implications in Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy
Qiang Zhang,Mahaveer S. Bhojani,Edgar Ben-Josef,Aaron C. Spalding,Rork Kuick,Yi Sun,Meredith A. Morgan +6 more
TL;DR: This review will discuss both the oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions of GSK3β in pancreatic cancer with an emphasis on the roles of G SK3 β in tumor cell survival and sensitivity to radiation and chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
CLU blocks HDACI-mediated killing of neuroblastoma
Chitra Subramanian,Jason A. Jarzembowski,Sonja M. Halsey,Rork Kuick,Anthony W. Opipari,Valerie P. Castle,Roland P.S. Kwok +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in neuroblastoma, clusterin exerts its anti-apoptotic effects downstream of Ku70 acetylation, likely by directly blocking Bax activation and affecting histone deacetylase-inhibitor-induced Ku70acetylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of AMPKα2 Impairs Hedgehog-Driven Medulloblastoma Tumorigenesis.
Honglai Zhang,Rork Kuick,Sung Soo Park,Claire Peabody,Justin Yoon,Ester Calvo Fernandez,Junying Wang,Dafydd G. Thomas,Benoit Viollet,Ken Inoki,Sandra Camelo-Piragua,Jean François Rual +11 more
TL;DR: This study reveals that AMPKα2 KO impairs SHH medulloblastoma tumorigenesis, and performs complementary molecular and genomic analyses that support the hypothesis of a pro-tumorigenic SHH/AMPK/CNBP axis in medullOBlastoma.
