Abstract
We also discuss how these mechanisms can be translated into usable biomarkers. Although progress has been made in the understanding of inflammation-driven carcinogenesis, markers based on these findings possess insufficient sensitivity or specificity to be usable as reliable biomarkers for risk of c...

Abstract
The identification of patients with inherited cancer susceptibility syndromes facilitates early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. However, in many cases of suspected cancer susceptibility, the family history is unclear and genetic testing of common cancer susceptibility genes is...

We have established an RNA interference (RNAi) screen to identify genes whose depletion selectively inhibits the growth of cells lacking BRCA2, and then studied the effects of the genetic depletion or pharmacologic inhibition of 1 candidate, the checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1), in the context of pancreat...

Abstract
We found an association between sensitivity to CD40 stimulation and mutation of the tumor suppressor p53 in a panel of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cell lines. Consistent with p53's tumor suppressor role, we found that higher levels of intrinsic DNA damage and increased proliferation rates, as well as hig...

We report here that the two most common types--follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma--harbour frequent structural alterations inactivating CREBBP and, more rarely, EP300, two highly related histone and non-histone acetyltransferases (HATs) that act as transcriptional co-activators in...

Abstract
We have shown here that UVC upregulates p16(INK4A) and the phosphorylated form of the protein at the 4 serine sites; Ser-7, Ser-8, Ser-140, and Ser-152. This accumulation of p16(INK4A) occurred through increasing the stability of both forms of the protein. Importantly, phospho-p16(INK4A) showed much...

Abstract
We show that TAp63α is kept in an inactive dimeric state. We reveal that relief of inhibition leads to tetramer formation with ∼20-fold higher DNA affinity. In vivo, phosphorylation-triggered tetramerization of TAp63α is not reversible by dephosphorylation. Furthermore, we show that a helix in t...

Abstract
We investigated whether USP7 itself regulates PML-NBs. Silencing of USP7 was found to increase the number of PML-NBs, to increase the levels of PML protein and to inhibit PML polyubiquitylation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. This effect of USP7 was independent of p53 as PML loss was observed in...

Abstract
We proposed that the remarkable efficacy and broad spectrum of RLIP76-targeted therapy is because its glutathione-conjugate (GS-E) transport activity is required for clathrin-dependent endocytosis (CDE), which regulates all ligand-receptor signaling, and that RLIP76 is required not only for survival...

Our recent study shows that p53, a downstream effector of the telomere damage signaling, also functions upstream of the telomere‐capping protein complex by inhibiting one of its components, TRF2 (telomeric repeat binding factor 2). Since TRF2 inhibition leads to ATM activation, a novel positive fe...
