Therapeutically activating RB: reestablishing cell cycle control in endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancer

C Thangavel, JL Dean, A Ertel… - Endocrine-related …, 2011 - erc.bioscientifica.com
The majority of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers are treated with endocrine
therapy. While this is effective, acquired resistance to therapies targeted against ER is a …

RB-pathway disruption in breast cancer: differential association with disease subtypes, disease-specific prognosis and therapeutic response

A Ertel, JL Dean, H Rui, C Liu, A Witkiewicz… - Cell cycle, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
In breast cancer, inactivation of the RB tumor suppressor gene is believed to occur via
multiple mechanisms to facilitate tumorigenesis. However, the prognostic and predictive …

Pathway-specific differences between tumor cell lines and normal and tumor tissue cells

A Ertel, A Verghese, SW Byers, M Ochs, A Tozeren - Molecular cancer, 2006 - Springer
Background Cell lines are used in experimental investigation of cancer but their capacity to
represent tumor cells has yet to be quantified. The aim of the study was to identify significant …

Evidence for a stromal-epithelial “lactate shuttle” in human tumors: MCT4 is a marker of oxidative stress in cancer-associated fibroblasts

…, UE Martinez-Outschoorn, Z Lin, A Ertel… - Cell cycle, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Recently, we proposed a new mechanism for understanding the Warburg effect in cancer
metabolism. In this new paradigm, cancer-associated fibroblasts undergo aerobic glycolysis …

Ketones and lactate increase cancer cell “stemness,” driving recurrence, metastasis and poor clinical outcome in breast cancer: achieving personalized medicine via …

UE Martinez-Outschoorn, M Prisco, A Ertel, A Tsirigos… - Cell cycle, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Previously, we showed that high-energy metabolites (lactate and ketones)“fuel” tumor
growth and experimental metastasis in an in vivo xenograft model, most likely by driving …

Hyperactivation of oxidative mitochondrial metabolism in epithelial cancer cells in situ: visualizing the therapeutic effects of metformin in tumor tissue

…, A Howell, S Pavlides, A Tsirigos, A Ertel… - Cell cycle, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
We have recently proposed a new mechanism for explaining energy transfer in cancer
metabolism. In this scenario, cancer cells behave as metabolic parasites, by extracting …

The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor controls androgen signaling and human prostate cancer progression

A Sharma, WS Yeow, A Ertel, I Coleman… - The Journal of …, 2010 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Retinoblastoma (RB; encoded by RB1) is a tumor suppressor that is frequently disrupted in
tumorigenesis and acts in multiple cell types to suppress cell cycle progression. The role of …

Functional significance of macrophage-derived exosomes in inflammation and pain

MK McDonald, Y Tian, RA Qureshi, M Gormley, A Ertel… - PAIN®, 2014 - Elsevier
Exosomes, secreted microvesicles transporting microRNAs (miRNAs), mRNAs, and proteins
through bodily fluids, facilitate intercellular communication and elicit immune responses …

Melanoma adapts to RAF/MEK inhibitors through FOXD3-mediated upregulation of ERBB3

…, W Xu, LM Schuchter, JB Lee, A Ertel… - The Journal of …, 2013 - Am Soc Clin Investig
The mechanisms underlying adaptive resistance of melanoma to targeted therapies remain
unclear. By combining ChIP sequencing with microarray-based gene profiling, we …

CCR5 antagonist blocks metastasis of basal breast cancer cells

…, X Jiao, M De La Fuente, TG Pestell, A Ertel… - Cancer research, 2012 - AACR
The roles of the chemokine CCL5 and its receptor CCR5 in breast cancer progression
remain unclear. Here, we conducted microarray analysis on 2,254 human breast cancer …
