Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE ICD inducers including anthracyclines and agents that provoke tetraploidization were highly efficient in enhancing the phosphorylation of eIF2α, yet failed to stimulate other signs of ER stress including the transcriptional activation of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), the alternative splicing of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1s) mRNA and the proteolytic cleavage of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) both in vitro and in cancers established in mice. 29358668 2018

Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE We defined an eight-gene signature with prognostic potential, altered in 45% of 2,509 patients with breast cancer.<b>Conclusions:</b> ATF4 may represent a valuable prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in patients with TNBC, and we identified a cell signaling pathway-based gene signature that may contribute to the development of combinatorial targeted therapies for breast cancer.<i>Clin Cancer Res; 24(22); 5697-709.©2018 AACR</i>. 30012564 2018
