Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Low deoxycytidine kinase expression in tumour biopsies from patients treated with gemcitabine, assessed by immunostaining and image analysis, correlates with a poor prognosis, but there is no such correlation in tumour biopsies from a Phase I cohort treated with NUC-1031. 31113993 2019

Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE SIGNIFICANCE: A new molecular MRI method that detects deoxycytidine kinase activity using its natural substrate deoxycytidine has great translational potential for clinical assessment of tumor resistance and prediction of treatment efficacy. 30940660 2019

Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE <sup>18</sup>F-clofarabine might be used to measure dCK expression and thus serve as a predictive biomarker for tumor responses to dCK-dependent prodrugs or small-molecule dCK inhibitors, respectively. 27811125 2017

Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Patients with brain (17), colon (24), and breast (30) tumors, 53, 67, and 73%, respectively, had an elevated T/N value (Specific Activity of tumor/ Specific Activity of normal tissue) involving dCK and dCMPD suggesting chemotherapy with 5-fluorodeoxycytidine (5-FdC) alone or in combination with thymidine plus deoxytetrahydrouridine, or with the radiosensitizer, 5-chlorodeoxycytidine (5-CldC) plus tetrahydrouridine (H4U). 27745548 2017
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE We propose that dCK activity in tumor vasculature renders it gemcitabine sensitive, which is sufficient to invoke a tumor response and permit tumor cell kill in gemcitabine-resistant tumors. 25224279 2014
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Using [(18)F]-FAC, a dCK-specific positron emission tomography (PET) probe, we visualized and quantified dCK activation in tumor xenografts after IR, indicating that dCK activation could serve as a biomarker for ATM function and DNA damage response in vivo. 25101980 2014
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Bladder tumour specimens showed an heterogeneous gene expression pattern and patients with higher levels of dCK and hENT1 had better response. 16868547 2006

Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE The role of drug transport and metabolism on gemcitabine cytotoxicity was examined with specific inhibitors, whereas transcription analysis of human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (hENT1), deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT), cytidine deaminase (CDA), and ribonucleotide reductase subunits M1 and M2 (RRM1 and RRM2) was done by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR in tumor tissue isolated by laser microdissection from surgical or biopsy samples of 102 patients. 16585222 2006
