Collagen modifying enzyme P4HA1 is overexpressed and plays a role in lung adenocarcinoma.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally and is histologically defined as either small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with the latter accounting for 80% of all lung cancers. The 5-year overall survival rate for lung cancer patients is low as it is often discovered at advanced stages when potential cure by surgical resection is no longer an option. To identify a biomarker and target for lung cancer, we performed analysis of multiple datasets of lung cancer gene expression data.

Therapeutically actionable PAK4 is amplified, overexpressed, and involved in bladder cancer progression.

Muscle-invasive bladder carcinomas (MIBCs) are aggressive genitourinary malignancies. Metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder is generally incurable by current chemotherapy and leads to early mortality. Recent studies have identified molecular subtypes of MIBCs with different sensitivities to frontline therapy, suggesting tumor heterogeneity.

Dysregulation of de novo nucleotide biosynthetic pathway enzymes in cancer and targeting opportunities.

Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth and a major cause of death worldwide. Many molecular events characterize tumor initiation and progression. Global gene expression analyses using next-generation sequencing, proteomics and metabolomics show genomic, epigenetic, and metabolite concentration changes in various tumors.

Characterization of glycine-N-acyltransferase like 1 (GLYATL1) in prostate cancer.

Background: Recent microarray and sequencing studies of prostate cancer showed multiple molecular alterations during cancer progression. It is critical to evaluate these molecular changes to identify new biomarkers and targets. We performed analysis of glycine-N-acyltransferase like 1 (GLYATL1) expression in various stages of prostate cancer in this study and evaluated the regulation of GLYATL1 by androgen.

Wnt receptor Frizzled 8 is a target of ERG in prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers among men. Many molecular changes have been detailed during PCa progression. The gene encoding the transcription factor ERG shows recurrent rearrangement, resulting in the overexpression of ERG in the majority of prostate cancers.
