Ligand-dependent Hedgehog pathway activation in Rhabdomyosarcoma : the oncogenic role of the ligands
Altres ajuts: This work was supported by grants from Institut Català d'Oncologia (ICO), Instituto de Salud Carlos III (RTICC-RD12/0036/0016, /0020, /0035, /0057; and PI14/00647), Fundació A BOSCH, Fundació Amics Joan Petit, ajuts predoctorals del VHIR and RIS3CAT grants COMRDI15-1-0014 (ACCIÓ and FEDER). Altres ajuts: FEDER/COMRDI15-1-0014 Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. The Hedgehog (HH) pathway is known to develop an oncogenic role in RMS. However, the molecular mechanism that drives activation of the pathway in RMS is not well understood. The expression of HH ligands was studied by qPCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry.

The oral KIF11 inhibitor 4SC‐205 exhibits antitumor activity and potentiates standard and targeted therapies in primary and metastatic neuroblastoma models
Inhibidor de KIF11; Terapias dirigidas; Metástasis Inhibidor de KIF11; Teràpies dirigides; Metàstasi KIF11 inhibitor; Targeted therapies; Metastasis In summary, our study provides a rationale for the future therapeutic integration in clinical trials of 4SC-205, an structurally distinct oral KIF11 inhibitor that shows potent antitumor activity in multiple preclinical neuroblastoma models and sensitizes neuroblastoma cells to standard chemotherapy and specific neuroblastoma-targeted therapies. The financial support for this research was provided by Instituto de Salud Calos III (PI20/00530 to Miguel F. Segura; PI20/01107 to Rosa Noguera; PI17/02248 and CPII18/00027 to Anna Santamaria; PI19/013…
