• Gene expression profiles of CMS2-epithelial/canonical colorectal cancers are largely driven by DNA copy number gains 

      Berg, Kaja Christine Graue; Sveen, Anita; Høland, Maren; Alagaratnam, Sharmini; Rasmussen, Marianne Berg; Danielsen, Stine Aske; Nesbakken, Arild; Søreide, Kjetil; Lothe, Ragnhild A (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-15)
      About 80% of colorectal cancers (CRCs) have chromosomal instability, which is an integral part of aggressive malignancy development, but the importance of specific copy number aberrations (CNAs) in modulating gene expression, ...
    • Loss of COPZ1 induces NCOA4 mediated autophagy and ferroptosis in glioblastoma cell lines 

      Zhang, Yulin; Kong, Yang; Ma, Yuan; Ni, Shilei; Wikerholmen, Tobias Espedal; Xi, Kaiyan; Zhao, Feihu; Zhao, Zhimin; Wang, Junpeng; Huang, Bin; Chen, Anjing; Yao, Zhong; Han, Mingzhi; Feng, Zichao; Hu, Yaotian; Thorsen, Frits; Wang, Jiang; Li, Xingang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Dysregulated iron metabolism is a hallmark of many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). However, its role in tumor progression remains unclear. Herein, we identified coatomer protein complex subunit zeta 1 (COPZ1) as a ...
    • PMEPA1 isoform a drives progression of glioblastoma by promoting protein degradation of the Hippo pathway kinase LATS1 

      Ji, Jianxiong; Ding, Kaikai; Luo, Tao; Xu, Ran; Zhang, Xin; Huang, Bin; Chen, An-Jing; Zhang, Di; Miletic, Hrvoje; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Thorsen, Frits; Wang, Jian; Li, Xingang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Hippo signaling pathway controls organ development and is also known, in cancer, to have a tumor suppressing role. Within the Hippo pathway, we here demonstrate, in human gliomas, a functional interaction of a transmembrane ...
    • RNA splicing factor USP39 promotes glioma progression by inducing TAZ mRNA maturation 

      Ding, Kaikai; Ji, Jianxiong; Zhang, Xin; Huang, Bin; Chen, Anjing; Zhang, Di; Li, Xingang; Wang, Xinyu; Wang, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Increasing evidence demonstrates that ubiquitin specific protease 39 (USP39) plays an oncogenic role in various human tumors. Here, using expression analysis of the publicly available Oncomine database, clinical glioma ...
