CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE PKR is regulated by the noncoding RNA nc886, which has altered expression in cancer. 30518569 2019
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE An integrated stress response via PKR suppresses HER2+ cancers and improves trastuzumab therapy. 31086176 2019
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE The UPR signaling pathways initiated by double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) like ER kinase (PERK), inositol requiring enzyme 1 α (IRE1α), and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) are vital for tumor growth, aggressiveness, microenvironment remodeling, and resistance to cancer therapeutics. 30159133 2018
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Growing evidence indicates that PKR and eIF2α play pivotal roles in the stimulation of stress granule formation as well as in the subsequent translation modulation in response to stressful conditions; however, little is known about whether MSI1 is involved in this PKR/eIF2α cancer stem cell-enhancing machinery. 29486283 2018
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Kisspeptin was revealed to inhibit the migratory and invasive abilities of highly metastatic breast SK‑BR‑3, prostatic PC‑3 and colorectal adenocarcinoma LoVo human cancer cell lines, whereas its inhibitory effects were abolished following the silencing of EIF2AK2 expression using RNA interference. 28944853 2017
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Finally, we discuss the impact that the recent knowledge regarding PKR involvement in metabolism has in our understanding of the complex processes of cancer and metabolism pathologies, highlighting the translational research establishing the clinical and therapeutic potential of this pleiotropic kinase. 28724458 2017
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE nc886 is a recently identified cellular non-coding RNA and its depletion leads to acute cell death via PKR (Protein Kinase RNA-activated) activation. nc886 expression is increased in some malignancies, but silenced in others. 27612419 2016
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE However, it is possible that the function of PKR varies with the type of cancer in question. 22894766 2012
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Harnessing PKR for the selective killing of cancer cells is potentially a powerful strategy for treating cancer, but we were unable to induce apoptosis by this approach in a T cell lymphoma. 16084774 2005
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE PKR and its signaling pathway are not restricted to a given cell line; therefore, in principle, this dsRNA killing approach can be applied to any cancer that expresses unique RNA sequences. 16123598 2005
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Targeted gene therapy against cancer can be approached by activation of PKR with the down-regulation of protein synthesis and induction of apoptosis, or by suppression of PKR with the propagation of oncolytic virus. 15174900 2004
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE These results suggest that EBERs play an important role in the pathogenesis of EBV-associated malignancies through the inhibition of PKR. 11068051 2000
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE With our previous findings demonstrating that primary cells containing the double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase PKR and a functional IFN system are not permissive to VSV replication, these results suggest that signaling by IFN may be defective in many malignancies. 11185959 2000
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Studies of human malignancies and tumor cell lines suggest that, in general, patients bearing tumors with a higher PKR content have a more favorable prognosis. 10216948 1999
