    • Clonal Architecture of CXCR4 WHIM-Like Mutations in Waldenström Macroglobulinaemia 

      Xu, Lian; Hunter, Zachary; Tsakmaklis, Nicholas; Cao, Yang; Yang, Guang; Chen, Jie; Liu, Xia; Kanan, Sandra; Castillo, Jorge; Tai, Yu-Tzu; Zehnder, James L.; Brown, Jennifer; Carrasco, Ruben; Advani, Ranjana; Sabile, Jean M.; Argyropoulos, Kimon; Lia Palomba, M.; Morra, Enrica; Trojani, Alessandra; Greco, Antonino; Tedeschi, Alessandra; Varettoni, Marzia; Arcaini, Luca; Munshi, Nikhil; Anderson, Kenneth; Treon, Steven (Wiley, 2016-03)
      CXCR4WHIM somatic mutations are distinctive to Waldenstrom Macroglobulinaemia (WM), and impact disease presentation and treatment outcome. The clonal architecture of CXCR4WHIM mutations remains to be delineated. We developed ...

    • The Cyclophilin A-CD147 complex promotes bone marrow colonization of B-cell malignancies: implications for therapy 

      Zhu, Di; Wang, Zhongqiu; Zhao, Jian-Jun; Calimeri, Teresa; Meng, Jiang; Hideshima, Teru; Fulciniti, Mariateresa; Kang, Yue; Ficarro, Scott; Tai, Yu-Tzu; Hunter, Zachary; McMilin, Douglas; Tong, Haoxuan; Mitsiades, Constantine S.; Wu, Catherine; Treon, Steven; Dorfman, David M.; Pinkus, Geraldine; Munshi, Nikhil; Tassone, Pierfrancesco; Marto, Jarrod; Anderson, Kenneth; Carrasco, Ruben D. (2015)
      B-cell malignancies frequently colonizes the bone marrow (BM). The mechanisms responsible for this preferential homing are not entirely known. Using multiple myeloma (MM) as a model of a terminally differentiated B-cell ...

    • Identification of novel myeloma-specific XBP1 peptides able to generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes: A potential therapeutic application in multiple myeloma 

      Bae, Jooeun; Carrasco, Ruben D.; Lee, Ann-Hwee; Tai, Yu-Tzu; Anderson, Kenneth Carl; Munshi, Nikhil C. (2012)
      The purpose of these studies was to identify HLA-A2+ immunogenic peptides derived from XBP1 antigens to induce a multiple myeloma (MM)-specific immune response. Six native peptides from non-spliced XBP1 antigen and three ...

    • Novel Tumor Suppressor Function of Glucocorticoid-Induced TNF Receptor GITR in Multiple Myeloma 

      Liu, Yang; Quang, Phong; Braggio, Esteban; Ngo, Hai; Badalian-Very, Gayane; Flores, Ludmila; Zhang, Yong; Sacco, Antonio; Maiso, Patricia; Azab, Abdel Kareem; Azab, Feda; Carrasco, Ruben; Rollins, Barrett J.; Roccaro, Aldo M.; Ghobrial, Irene M. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor (GITR) plays a crucial role in modulating immune response and inflammation, however the role of GITR in human cancers is poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that GITR is ...

    • RESCUE OF HIPPO CO-ACTIVATOR YAP1 TRIGGERS DNA DAMAGE-INDUCED APOPTOSIS IN HEMATOLOGICAL CANCERS 

      Cottini, Francesca; Hideshima, Teru; Xu, Chunxiao; Sattler, Martin; Dori, Martina; Agnelli, Luca; Hacken, Elisa ten; Bertilaccio, Maria Teresa; Antonini, Elena; Neri, Antonino; Ponzoni, Maurilio; Marcatti, Magda; Richardson, Paul G.; Carrasco, Ruben; Kimmelman, Alec C.; Wong, Kwok-Kin; Caligaris-Cappio, Federico; Blandino, Giovanni; Kuehl, W. Michael; Anderson, Kenneth C.; Tonon, Giovanni (2014)
      Oncogene–induced DNA damage elicits genomic instability in epithelial cancer cells, but apoptosis is blocked through inactivation of the tumor suppressor p53. In hematological cancers, the relevance of ongoing DNA damage ...
