Abstract:

Unilateral cortisol producing adenoma (CPA) is the most common cause of ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome and is surgically curable. On the other hand, adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare and aggressive tumours. Although the overall survival of the patients with ACC is very poor, the outcome can be heterogeneous and vary significantly between the patients. This thesis comprises studies showing genetic and genomic events occurring in CPAs and ACCs, their functional impact and clinical correlations. The Wnt/β-catenin and cAMP/PKA signalling pathways are crucial in adrenal homeostasis and

Abstract:

Recent studies have demonstrated that cysteine cathepsin S, predominantly from tumour- associated macrophages, promotes tumour development and progression. Conversely, previous work examining human colorectal and brain biopsies have shown that the tumour cells themselves are a major source of CatS. In order to clarify the contribution of stromal- derived versus tumour cell-derived CatS in colorectal tumourigenesis, investigations were carried out using the syngeneic MC38 coloadenocarcinoma cell line, which was found to expressed and produced CatS.

Abstract:

Thyroid cancers are the most common endocrine malignancies and their incidence continues to rise. Over-expression of the human pituitary tumor transforming gene (hPTTG) in thyroid carcinomas is a prognostic indicator of tumour recurrence. hPTTG is multifunctional with roles in mitotic control, DNA repair, genetic instability, cell transformation and apoptosis. Importantly, hPTTG transactivates expression of growth factors implicated in proliferation and angiogenesis, and represses the sodium iodide symporter (NIS), which is essential to radioiodine treatments in thyroid cancer. hPTTG interacts

Abstract:

Grb2, an adaptor protein, is ubiquitously expressed and is involved in mediating a multitude of cellular processes in various body tissues such as development and tumourigenesis. Grb2 binds to proteins via its Src-homology domains and by doing so brings them in proximity of each other. In breast tissue, Grb2 can recruit SOS and Gab1 to the plasma membrane by binding to a specific phosphorylated tyrosine residue of HER2, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. HER2 is overexpressed and activated in 20-30% of human breast cancers and correlates with poor patient prognosis. In tr

Abstract:

Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA are small RhoGTPases, molecular switches that regulate protrusion and adhesion to other cells and the extracellular matrix. The tumour suppressor merlin controls and is itself regulated by Rac1. Merlin-deficiency has been linked to many protrusive structures like lamellipodia and ruffles, defective intercellular adhesion leading to loss of contact inhibition of growth, and increased adhesion to the extracellular matrix.

Abstract:

In cancer, loss of intercellular contact contributes to tumour progression and invasion. Desmosomal cadherins are essential constituents of desmosomes – intercellular junctions that confer significant adhesive strength to epithelial tissues and cardiac muscle. Although changes in desmosomal components have been noted in a variety of cancers previously, this investigation has shown for the first time altered desmocollin expression in colorectal cancer. Real-time PCR and western blotting were used to assess desmocollin expression in a series of colorectal cancer and matched normal tissue samples

Abstract:

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer, with a rising incidence. The proto-oncogene PBF is over-expressed in thyroid tumours, and the degree of over-expression is directly linked to patient survival. PBF causes transformation in vitro and tumourigenesis in vivo, with PBF-transgenic mice developing large, macro-follicular goitres, effects partly mediated by the internalisation and repression of the membrane-bound transporters NIS and MCT8. NIS repression leads to a reduction in iodide uptake, which may negatively affect the efficacy of radioiodine treatment, and therefore prognosis.

In this thesis, conditional transgenic models were employed to investigate the impact of mutating the proto-oncogenes β-catenin, and Kras, and the tumour suppressor gene PTEN, alone and in combination within the murine prostate. β-catenin and Pten single mutants display progression from PIN to invasive adenocarcinoma that appears similar to human Gleason pattern 3. Tumours demonstrate co-activation of the Wnt, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and Ras/MAPK pathways.

In this work, we have investigated how ASPP2, a member of a family of proteins that interact with the p53 family, can affect skin tumourigenesis. ASPP2 is expressed in the squamous epithelia of various organs, localising exclusively in the upper and most differentiated layers. We show here that Balb/c ASPP2-null and heterozygous mice develop spontaneous SCCs. To investigate how the absence of ASPP2 from the epithelial compartment could lead to tumou

This splice isoform has shown to play a role in drug resistance of the ErbB2 targeted therapeutic antibody Herceptin. Understanding the role this splice form has in resistance to other drugs is therefore essential for an effective regimen of therapeutics. Dasatinib, lapatinib and bosutinib are t

Downstream of an activated form of ErbB2, we have demonstrated that Stat3 is dispensable for in vivo tumour initiation but is crucial for metastasis.

The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene encodes a multifunctional tumour suppressor protein that is essential for normal development. The most characterised role of APC is its ability to mediate the Wnt signaling pathway, a pathway disrupted in the majority of human cancers.
