Cancers MDPI: Transformer for Gene Expression Modeling (T-GEM): An Interpretable Deep Learning Model for Gene Expression-Based Phenotype Predictions (Chen Lab)
October 14, 2022
Ting-He Zhang, Md Musaddaqul Hasib, Yu-Chiao Chiu, Zhi-Feng Han, Yu-Fang Jin, Mario Flores, Yidong Chen and Yufei Huang Simple Summary Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Predicting phenotype and understanding makers that define the phenotype are important tasks. We propose an interpretable deep learning model called T-GEM that can predict cancer-related phenotype [...]Hepatology: Melanoma Differentiation Associated Gene-9/Syndecan Binding Protein (MDA-9/SDCBP) Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) [Lai]

Debashri Manna,Saranya Chidambaranathan Reghupaty,Maria Del Carmen Camarena,Rachel G. Mendoza,Mark A. Subler,Jennifer E. Koblinski,Rebecca Martin,Mikhail G. Dozmorov,Nitai D. Mukhopadhyay,Jinze Liu,Xufeng Qu,Swadesh K. Das,Zhao Lai,Jolene J. Windle,Paul B. Fisher,Devanand Sarkar Abstract The oncogene Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-9/syndecan binding protein (MDA-9/SDCBP) is overexpressed in many cancers promoting aggressive, metastatic disease. However, the role of MDA-9 in regulating hepatocellular carcinoma [...]NPJ | Precision Oncology: An international working group consensus report for the prioritization of molecular biomarkers for Ewing sarcoma (Bishop)

Henry E Miller, Daniel Montemayor, Janet Li, Simon A Levy, Roshan Pawar, Stella Hartono, Kumar Sharma, Bess Frost, Frédéric Chedin, Alexander J R Bishop Abstract R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed from the hybridization of RNA and DNA. In 2012, Ginno et al. introduced the first R-loop mapping method. Since that time, dozens of R-loop mapping studies have been conducted, yielding hundreds of publicly available [...]Molecular Cancer Theraputics: Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, Antibody–Drug Conjugate Targeting HER2, Is Effective in Pediatric Malignancies: A Report by the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Consortium (Houghton, Kurmasheva)

Houghton Abstract Purpose: We investigated why three patient-derived xenografts (PDX) childhood BRAFV600E-mutant brain tumor models are highly sensitive to trametinib. Mechanisms of acquired resistance [...]Non-Coding RNA: Systematic Analysis of Long Non-Coding RNA Genes in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Bishop Lab)

Mirolyuba Ilieva James Dao Henry E. Miller Jens Hedelund Madsen Alexander J. R. Bishop Sakari Kauppinen Shizuka Uchida Abstract The largest solid organ in humans, the liver, performs a variety of functions to sustain life. When damaged, cells in the liver can regenerate themselves to maintain normal liver physiology. However, some damage is beyond [...]Neuro – Oncology: ELF4 is a critical component of a miRNA-transcription factor network and is a bridge regulator of glioblastoma receptor signaling and lipid dynamics (Penalva Lab)

Show more Abstract Background The loss of neurogenic tumor suppressor microRNAs miR-124, miR-128, and miR-137 is associated with glioblastoma’s undifferentiated state. Most of their impact comes via the repression of a network of oncogenic transcription factors. We conducted a high-throughput functional siRNA screen [...]Cell Reports Medicine: A RET::GRB2 fusion in pheochromocytoma defies the classic paradigm of RET oncogenic fusions (Wang)

Henry E Miller, Daniel Montemayor, Jebriel Abdul, Anna Vines, Simon A Levy, Stella R Hartono, Kumar Sharma, Bess Frost, Frédéric Chédin, Alexander J R Bishop Abstract R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed from the hybridization of RNA and DNA. While the pathological consequences of R-loops have been well-studied to date, the locations, classes, and [...]
