A KLF6-driven transcriptional network links lipid homeostasis and tumour growth in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
(2019-10-26)Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterised by frequent inactivation of the VHL tumour suppressor gene and consequent accumulation of HIF2A that drives tumourigenesis. The current clinically-approved therapies ... -
Endogenous Reporter Systems for High-Throughput Functional Screening in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
(2019-10-26)Tissue-specific transcriptional programs define cancer phenotypes. However, the molecular mechanism behind the transcriptional specificity is mostly unknown, hindering the development of therapeutic approaches. In clear ... -
HIF2a regulates ccRCC tumorigenesis through activation of cell cycle regulators
(2019-10-26)Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most frequent type of kidney cancer, with 50% 5-year survival. Genetically, ccRCCs are characterised by inactivation of VHL which is lost in 90% of cases. Inactivating mutations ... -
A Compendium of Genetic Drivers for Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma defines Prognostic and Therapeutic Biomarkers for use in the Clinic
(2019-07-19)Background: Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is a poor-prognosis cancer type with rapidly rising incidence. Understanding of the genetic events driving OAC development is limited, and there are few molecular biomarkers for ...
