SHANK2 Mutations Impair Apoptosis, Proliferation and Neurite Outgrowth during Early Neuronal Differentiation in SH-SY5Y Cells

Using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, scientists obtaineded SH-SY5Y cell lines with frameshift mutations on one or both SHANK2 alleles. They investigated the effects of the different SHANK2 mutations on cell morphology, cell proliferation and differentiation potential during early neuronal differentiation.

Smoothened-Activating Lipids Drive Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibition in Hedgehog-Associated Medulloblastoma Cells and Preclinical Models

Scientists identified resistance mechanisms to CDK6 inhibition in Hedgehog (HH)-associated medulloblastoma by performing orthogonal CRISPR and CRISPR interference screens in medulloblastoma cells treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and RNA-sequencing of a mouse model of HH-associated medulloblastoma with genetic deletion of Cdk6.

Phosphodiesterase Type-5 Inhibitor Tadalafil Modulates Steroid Hormones Signaling in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line

Researchers demonstrated for the first time that Tadalafil can significantly modulate androgen receptor expression and activity, Cyp19a1 and ERβ expression in prostate cancer cells, suggesting a specific effect of these proteins.

Histone Demethylase KDM4C Controls Tumorigenesis of Glioblastoma by Epigenetically Regulating p53 and C-Myc

Researchers showed that KDM4C knockdown significantly repressed proliferation and tumorigenesis of glioblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo that were rescued by overexpressing wild-type KDM4C but not a catalytic dead mutant.

Regulation of Carcinogenesis and Mediation through Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by 3,3′-Diindolylmethane in an Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cell Line

To investigate whether combined treatment with Enzalutamide (ENZ) and 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) could overcome ENZ resistance by regulating Wnt signaling to inhibit androgen receptor signaling and EMT in ENZ-resistant prostate cancer cells, 22Rv1 cells were cultured in normal medium and treated with ENZ, DIM, and DIM with ENZ.

HCMV-Mediated Interference of Bortezomib-Induced Apoptosis in Colon Carcinoma Cell Line Caco-2

Researchers investigated if proteasome inhibitors have therapeutic potential for colon carcinoma and how this is influenced by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. They showed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry that the colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 was susceptible to HCMV infection.
