Journal ArticleDOI
The Landscape of Circular RNA in Cancer.
Josh N. Vo,Marcin Cieslik,Yajia Zhang,Sudhanshu Shukla,Sudhanshu Shukla,Lanbo Xiao,Yuping Zhang,Yi-Mi Wu,Saravana M. Dhanasekaran,Carl G. Engelke,Xuhong Cao,Dan R. Robinson,Alexey I. Nesvizhskii,Arul M. Chinnaiyan +13 more
TL;DR: An exome capture RNA sequencing protocol is used to detect and characterize circRNAs across >2,000 cancer samples and built the most comprehensive catalog of circRNA species to date, MiOncoCirc, the first database to be composed primarily of circ RNAs directly detected in tumor tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the androgen receptor–regulated lncRNA landscape identifies a role for ARLNC1 in prostate cancer progression

Chinnaiyan +40 more
TL;DR: ARLNC1 is a newly discovered lncRNA that is induced by androgen receptor (AR) and maintains AR signaling by stabilizing the AR transcript and is identified as a novel therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic driver mutations in ARID1A shape cancer immune phenotype and immunotherapy
Jing Li,Weichao Wang,Yajia Zhang,Marcin Cieślik,Jipeng Guo,Mengyao Tan,Michael D. Green,Weimin Wang,Heng Lin,Wei Li,Shuang Wei,Jiajia Zhou,Gaopeng Li,Xiaojun Jing,Linda Vatan,Lili Zhao,Benjamin G. Bitler,Rugang Zhang,Kathleen R. Cho,Yali Dou,Ilona Kryczek,Timothy A. Chan,David G. Huntsman,Arul M. Chinnaiyan,Weiping Zou +24 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ARID1A aberrations resulted in limited chromatin accessibility to interferon (IFN) responsive genes, caused impaired IFN-gene expression, anemic T cell tumor infiltration, poor tumor immunity, and shortened host survival in many human cancer histologies as well as in murine cancer models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Profiling of Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma Reveals New Opportunities for Targeted Therapy
Andrew S. McDaniel,Daniel H. Hovelson,Andi K. Cani,Chia Jen Liu,Yali Zhai,Yajia Zhang,Alon Z. Weizer,Rohit Mehra,Felix Y. Feng,Ajjai Alva,Todd M. Morgan,Jeffrey S. Montgomery,Javed Siddiqui,Seth Sadis,Santhoshi Bandla,Paul D. Williams,Kathleen R. Cho,Daniel R. Rhodes,Scott A. Tomlins +18 more
TL;DR: The first comprehensive molecular PeSCCA analysis is provided, which offers new insight into potential precision medicine approaches for this disease, including strategies targeting EGFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
MechRNA: prediction of lncRNA mechanisms from RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions.
Alexander R. Gawronski,Michael Uhl,Yajia Zhang,Yen-Yi Lin,Yen-Yi Lin,Yashar S. Niknafs,Varune Rohan Ramnarine,Rohit Malik,Felix Y. Feng,Arul M. Chinnaiyan,Colin Collins,S. Cenk Sahinalp,S. Cenk Sahinalp,Rolf Backofen +13 more
TL;DR: MechRNA is introduced, a pipeline for corroborating RNA–RNA interaction prediction and protein binding prediction for identifying possible lncRNA mechanisms involving specific targets or on a transcriptome-wide scale, allowing for large-scale analysis of lnc RNA interactions with little or no loss of optimality.
