Differential requirements for DNA repair proteins in immortalized cell lines using alternative lengthening of telomere mechanisms
This study surveyed the requirement for requisite homologous recombination proteins, yet to be studied in human ALT cell lines, by protein depletion using RNA interference. Effects on ALT were evaluated by measuring C‐circle abundance, a marker of ALT. Surprisingly, several proteins essential for homologous recombination, BARD1, BRCA2 and WRN, were dispensable for C‐circle production, while PALB2 had varying effects on C‐circles among ALT cell lines. Depletion of homologous recombination proteins BRCA1 and BLM, which have been previously studied in ALT, decreased C‐circles in all ALT cell lines. Depletion of the no...

HnRNPM and CD44s expression affects tumor aggressiveness and predicts poor prognosis in breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastases
In conclusion, overexpression of hnRNPM promotes breast cancer aggressiveness by regulating the level of CD44s, indicates a poor prognosis for patients with LNM and has potential as therapeutic targets.

ETV6/RUNX1 ‐like acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A novel B‐cell precursor leukemia subtype associated with the CD27/CD44 immunophenotype
In conclusion, we show that ETV6/RUNX1‐like ALL is associated with CD27p°s/CD44l°w‐neg immunophenotype and identify ARPP21 deletions to contribute to its specific genomic profile enriched for ETV6 and IKZF1 lesions. In conjunction with previously published data, our study identifies the ETV6 lesion as the only common genetic aberration and thus the most likely key driver of ETV6/RUNX1‐like ALL.

TMEM16A/ANO1 suppression improves response to antibody ‐mediated targeted therapy of EGFR and HER2/ERBB2
Abstract TMEM16A, a Ca2+‐activated Cl− channel, contributes to tumor growth in breast cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we investigated whether TMEM16A influences the response to EGFR/HER family‐targeting biological therapies. Inhibition of TMEM16A Cl− channel activity in breast cancer cells with HER2 amplification induced a loss of viability. Cells resistant to trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, showed an increase in TMEM16A expression and heightened sensitivity to Cl− channel inhibition. Treatment of HNSCC cells with cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR, ...
