Discovery and Validation of a Prostate Cancer Genomic Classifier that Predicts Early Metastasis Following Radical Prostatectomy
PURPOSE Clinicopathologic features and biochemical recurrence are sensitive, but not specific, predictors of metastatic disease and lethal prostate cancer. We hypothesize that a genomic expression signature detected in the primary tumor represents true biological potential of aggressive disease and provides improved prediction of early prostate cancer metastasis. METHODS A nested case-control...
متن کاملThe driving force behind genomic diversity.
Eukaryote genomes contain excessively introns, intergenic and other non-genic sequences that appear to have no vital functional role or phenotype manifestation. Their existence, a long-standing puzzle, is viewed from the principle of increasing entropy. According to thermodynamics of open systems, genomes evolve toward diversity by various mechanisms that increase, decrease and distribute genom...
متن کاملDynamin Functions and Ligands: Classical Mechanisms Behind.
Dynamin is a GTPase that plays a vital role in clathrin-dependent endocytosis and other vesicular trafficking processes by acting as a pair of molecular scissors for newly formed vesicles originating from the plasma membrane. Dynamins and related proteins are important components for the cleavage of clathrin-coated vesicles, phagosomes, and mitochondria. These proteins help in organelle divisio...
متن کاملNuclear receptor control of opposing macrophage phenotypes in cardiovascular disease.
Macrophages have important physiological roles and display a high degree of heterogeneous phenotypes in response to a variety of stimuli. In particular, the spectrum of alternatively activated macrophages has been a focus because many lines of evidence indicate a cardioprotective role for this macrophage phenotype. This phenotype is controlled in part by opposing nuclear transcription factors i...
متن کاملMelanotic mutants in Drosophila: pathways and phenotypes.
Mutations in >30 genes that regulate different pathways and developmental processes are reported to cause a melanotic phenotype in larvae. The observed melanotic masses were generally linked to the hemocyte-mediated immune response. To investigate whether all black masses are associated with the cellular immune response, we characterized melanotic masses from mutants in 14 genes. We found that ...
