Targeting the DNA damage response for patients with lymphoma : preclinical and clinical evidences

Carrassa, Laura ; Colombo, Ilaria ; Damia, Giovanna ; Bertoni, Francesco

In: Cancer treatment reviews, 2020, vol. 90, p. 11

The DNA damage response (DDR) is a well-coordinated cellular network activated by DNA damage. The unravelling of the key players in DDR, their specific inactivation in different tumor types and the synthesis of specific chemical inhibitors of DDR represent a new hot topic in cancer therapy. In this article, we will review the importance of DDR in lymphoma development and how this can be...

Loss and revival of androgen receptor signaling in advanced prostate cancer

Formaggio, Nicolò ; Rubin, Mark A. ; Theurillat, Jean-Philippe

In: Oncogene, 2021, vol. 40, no. 7, p. 1205–1216

Targeting the androgen receptor (AR) signaling axis has been, over decades, the mainstay of prostate cancer therapy. More potent inhibitors of androgen synthesis and antiandrogens have emerged and have been successfully i mplemented in clinical practice. That said, the stronger inhibition of the AR signaling axis has led in recent years to an increase of prostate cancers that de-differentiate...

Dietary chloride deficiency syndrome : pathophysiology, history, and systematic literature review

Signorelli, Giulia C. ; Bianchetti, Mario G. ; Jermini, Luca M. M. ; Agostoni, Carlo ; Milani, Gregorio P. ; Simonetti, Giacomo D. ; Lava, Sebastiano A. G.

In: Nutrients, 2020, vol. 12, no. 11, p. 10 p

Metabolic alkalosis may develop as a consequence of urinary chloride (and sodium) wasting, excessive loss of salt in the sweat, or intestinal chloride wasting, among other causes. There is also a likely underrecognized association between poor salt intake and the mentioned electrolyte and acid–base abnormality. In patients with excessive loss of salt in the sweat or poor salt intake, the...

Retinoic acid sensitivity of triple-negative breast cancer cells characterized by constitutive activation of the NOTCH1 pathway : the role of RARβ

Paroni, Gabriela ; Zanetti, Adriana ; Barzago, Maria Monica ; Kurosaki, Mami ; Guarrera, Luca ; Fratelli, Maddalena ; Troiani, Martina ; Ubezio, Paolo ; Bolis, Marco ; Vallerga, Arianna ; Biancardi, Federica ; Terao, Mineko ; Garattini, Enrico

In: Cancers, 2020, vol. 12, no. 10, p. 23 p

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease that lacks effective therapeutic options. In this study, we profile eighteen TNBC cell lines for their sensitivity to the anti-proliferative action of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). The only three cell lines (HCC-1599, MB- 157 and MDA-MB-157) endowed with ATRA-sensitivity are characterized by genetic aberrations of the NOTCH1-gene,...

Quel est l'impact des interventions infirmières sur la gestion de l'incertitude et le vécu des hommes atteints d'un cancer de la prostate ? : travail de Bachelor

Dudouit, Noémie ; Dulac, Cynthia ; Bobbink, Paul (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de santé Genève, 2020.

L'objectif de cette revue de littérature, est d'identifier les interventions infirmières permettant de soutenir les hommes atteints du cancer de la prostate faisant face à de l'incertitude et de décrire leurs vécus face à celle-ci. Les bases de données Pubmed et Cinhal on été consultées entre le 3 décembre 2019 et le 14 février 2020. Parmi les huit études retenues, les devis...

CD49d promotes disease progression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia : new insights from CD49d bimodal expression

Tissino, Erika ; Pozzo, Federico ; Benedetti, Dania ; Caldana, Chiara ; Bittolo, Tamara ; Rossi, Francesca Maria ; Bomben, Riccardo ; Nanni, Paola ; Chivilò, Hillarj ; Cattarossi, Ilaria ; Zaina, Eva ; Norris, Kevin ; Polesel, Jerry ; Gentile, Massimo ; Tripepi, Giovanni ; Moia, Riccardo ; Santinelli, Enrico ; Innocenti, Idanna ; Olivieri, Jacopo ; D’Arena, Giovanni ; Laurenti, Luca ; Zaja, Francesco ; Pozzato, Gabriele ; Chiarenza, Annalisa ; Di Raimondo, Francesco ; Rossi, Davide ; Pepper, Chris ; Hartmann, Tanja Nicole ; Gaidano, Gianluca ; Del Poeta, Giovanni ; Gattei, Valter ; Zucchetto, Antonella

In: Blood, 2020, vol. 135, no. 15, p. 1244–1254

CD49d is a remarkable prognostic biomarker of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The cutoff value for the extensively validated 30% of positive CLL cells is able to separate CLL patients into 2 subgroups with different prognoses, but it does not consider the pattern of CD49d expression. In the present study, we analyzed a cohort of 1630 CLL samples and identified the presence of ∼20% of CLL...

Biological and clinical implications of BIRC3 mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Diop, Fary ; Moia, Riccardo ; Favini, Chiara ; Spaccarotella, Elisa ; De Paoli, Lorenzo ; Bruscaggin, Alessio ; Spina, Valeria ; Terzi-di-Bergamo, Lodovico ; Arruga, Francesca ; Tarantelli, Chiara ; Deambrogi, Clara ; Rasi, Silvia ; Adhinaveni, Ramesh ; Patriarca, Andrea ; Favini, Simone ; Sagiraju, Sruthi ; Jabangwe, Clive ; Kodipad, Ahad A. ; Peroni, Denise ; Mauro, Francesca R. ; Del Giudice, Ilaria ; Forconi, Francesco ; Cortelezzi, Agostino ; Zaja, Francesco ; Bomben, Riccardo ; Rossi, Francesca Maria ; Visco, Carlo ; Chiarenza, Annalisa ; Rigolin, Gian Matteo ; Marasca, Roberto ; Coscia, Marta ; Perbellini, Omar ; Tedeschi, Alessandra ; Laurenti, Luca ; Motta, Marina ; Donaldson, David ; Weir, Phil ; Mills, Ken ; Thornton, Patrick ; Lawless, Sarah ; Bertoni, Francesco ; Del Poeta, Giovanni ; Cuneo, Antonio ; Follenzi, Antonia ; Gattei, Valter ; Boldorini, Renzo Luciano ; Catherwood, Mark ; Deaglio, Silvia ; Foà, Robin ; Gaidano, Gianluca ; Rossi, Davide

BIRC3 is a recurrently mutated gene in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) but the functional implications of BIRC3 mutations are largely unexplored. Furthermore, little is known about the prognostic impact of BIRC3 mutations in CLL cohorts homogeneously treated with first-line fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR). By immunoblotting analysis, we showed that the non-canonical...
