The role of the transcription factor TBX2 in breast cancer and melanoma and its regulation by the UV-induced DNA damage pathway.
… factors that have gained prominence in cancer biology. For example, endogenous TBX2 is overexpressed in a growing list of cancers and when ectopically overexpressed it can bypass senescence and the tetraploidy checkpoints that protect against cancer. When the current study was initiated …

Part 1 Design, Synthesis and Bioactivity of a Phosphorylated Prodrug for the Inhibition of Pin1; Part 2 Conformational Specificity of Cdc25c Substrate for Cdc2 Kinase using LC-MS/MS
… observed to be overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell lines, and the inhibitors of Pin1 showed antiproliferative activities towards these cancer cells. These results implied that Pin1 might serve as a potential anti-cancer drug target. Besides, Pin1 has an important neuroprotective function …

Design, Syntheses, and Bioactivities of Conformationally Locked Pin1 Ground State Inhibitors
… isomerase involved in mitosis. As a potential anti-cancer drug target, Pin1 interacts and regulates the activity of an increasing number of cell cycle enzymes by an unknown mechanism. These cell cycle enzymes include Cdc25, Cdc27, Cyclin D1, Myt1, Wee1, NIMA, Cdc2, Plk1 and c-Myc. Recent …

Pin1 Inhibitors: Towards Understanding the Enzymatic Mechanism
… with cyclin D1 levels, which contributes to cancer cell transformation. Overexpression of Pin1 promotes tumor growth, while its inhibition causes tumor cell apoptosis. Because Pin1 is overexpressed in many human cancer tissues, including breast, prostate, and lung cancer tissues, it plays an …
