Detection of a Tyrosine Phosphatase LAR on Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Intraepithelial Lymphocytes in the Human Duodenum.
(Hindawi, 2005)Studies of tyrosine phosphorylation in the human duodenum have indicated that proliferating cells in the middle portion of the duodenal crypt were devoid of this feature, suggesting that tyrosine kinase activation is not ... -
Developing novel therapeutic approaches in chemoresistant ovarian cancer patients
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2012)Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women and is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancy in the Western world. A recent study by the National Cancer Registry, Ireland has shown ... -
Developing ovarian cancer stem cell models: laying the pipeline from discovery to clinical intervention.
(2014)Despite decades of research, ovarian cancer is still associated with unacceptably high mortality rates, which must be addressed by novel therapeutic approaches. One avenue through which this may be achieved is targeting ... -
Development of extraction and analysis of protocols for RNA in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) materials using TaqMan® real-time PCR
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2009)Archival Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue samples represent an invaluable source of human tissue for gene expression analysis. They are the most abundant and readily available materials and generally well ... -
Diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in ovarian cancer
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2013)Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer in women and the most frequent cause of gynaecological malignancy-related mortality in women. The vast majority present in advanced stages and this is due to lack of a reliable ... -
Differential expression of differentation, key stemness and pathways genes and microRNAs and the role of Tgf-β in embryonal carinoma stem cells
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2010)Cancer stem cells (CSCs) identified in multiple malignancies has fuelled the belief that they drive primary tumourigenesis. Their persistence post-intervention contributes to metastasis, recurrence, self-renewal, thus ... -
ECHO: the epidemiology of HPV infection in oropharyngeal, oral cavity, and laryngeal cancer in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology, 2019)Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been identified as a significant etiological agent in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). There is mounting evidence from North America and Europe to ... -
THE EMT-ACTIVATOR ZEB1 IS UNRELATED TO PLATINUM DRUG RESISTANCE IN OVARIAN CANCER BUT PREDICTIVE OF SURVIVAL
(2014)Background: Ovarian cancer is treated by surgery followed by platinum/taxane combination chemotherapy. Initial response rates are high, but up to 80% of ovarian cancer patients will eventually relapse with drug-resistant ... -
Endosomal gene expression: a new indicator for prostate cancer patient prognosis?
(2015)Prostate cancer continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in men, but a method for accurate prognosis in these patients is yet to be developed. The recent discovery of altered endosomal biogenesis in prostate ... -
Endothelial NOS, estrogen receptor beta, and HIFs cooperate in the activation of a prognostic transcriptional pattern in aggressive human prostate cancer.
(2009)The identification of biomarkers that distinguish between aggressive and indolent forms of prostate cancer (PCa) is crucial for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we used cultured cells derived from prostate tissue ... -
Epitope presentation is an important determinant of the utility of antigens identified from protein arrays in the development of autoantibody diagnostic assays
(Elsevier, 2012)Autoantibodies represent an attractive biomarker for diagnostic assays principally due to the stability of immunoglobulin in patient serum facilitating measurement with conventional assays. Immune responses to tumorigenesis ... -
Epstein-Barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer: A unique case occurring in association with cholelithiasis in a gallbladder
(2020)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive mucocutaneous ulcer is a lymphoproliferative disorder occurring in patients due to iatrogenic or age-related immunosuppression confined to the oropharynx, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. ... -
ERCC1 expression and RAD51B activity correlate with cell cycle response to platinum drug treatment not DNA repair.
(Springer Verlag, 2009)Background: The H69CIS200 and H69OX400 cell lines are novel models of low- level platinum-drug resistance. Resistance was not associated with increased cellular glutathione or decreased accumulation of platinum, rather ... -
Erlotinib or gefitinib for the treatment of relapsed platinum pretreated non-small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer: a systematic review.
(2011)Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard of care for ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance to platinum agents invariably develops. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine ... -
Evaluation of the clinical performance of the cobas 4800 HPV test in patients referred for colposcopy.
(2013)The clinical performance of the cobas human papillomavirus (HPV) test for detection of high-grade disease in a colposcopy-referred population was compared with that of Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2). The overall agreement between ... -
Fatty acid synthase polymorphisms, tumor expression, body mass index, prostate cancer risk, and survival.
(2010)BACKGROUND: Overexpression of the fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene has been implicated in prostate carcinogenesis. We sought to directly assess the oncogenic potential of FASN. METHODS: We used immortalized human prostate ... -
FOXA1 is a potential oncogene in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma
(2009)Purpose: FOXA1 is a mammalian endodermal transcription factor belonging to the human forkhead box gene family that plays a role in certain tumor types. Here, we investigated the potential role of FOXA1 in human thyroid ... -
Genome wide investigation of papillary thyroid carcinoma
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2005)In recent years, there has been a technological explosion in the fields of molecular pathology and molecular oncology. The genome, transcriptome and increasingly the proteome of diverse tumours can now be analysed in minute ... -
Gleason score and lethal prostate cancer: does 3 + 4 = 4 + 3?
(2009)PURPOSE Gleason grading is an important predictor of prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes. Studies using surrogate PCa end points suggest outcomes for Gleason score (GS) 7 cancers vary according to the predominance of pattern ... -
