Stromal gene expression predicts clinical outcome in breast cancer

G Finak, N Bertos, F Pepin, S Sadekova… - Nature medicine, 2008 - nature.com
Although it is increasingly evident that cancer is influenced by signals emanating from tumor
stroma, little is known regarding how changes in stromal gene expression affect epithelial …

HDAC4, a human histone deacetylase related to yeast HDA1, is a transcriptional corepressor

AH Wang, NR Bertos, M Vezmar… - … and cellular biology, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
Histone acetylation plays an important role in regulating chromatin structure and thus gene
expression. Here we describe the functional characterization of HDAC4, a human histone …

Breast cancer—one term, many entities?

NR Bertos, M Park - The Journal of clinical investigation, 2011 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Breast cancer, rather than constituting a monolithic entity, comprises heterogeneous tumors
with different clinical characteristics, disease courses, and responses to specific treatments. …

Regulation of histone deacetylase 4 by binding of 14-3-3 proteins

AH Wang, MJ Kruhlak, J Wu, NR Bertos… - … and cellular biology, 2000 - Taylor & Francis
Histone (de)acetylation is important for the regulation of fundamental biological processes
such as gene expression and DNA recombination. Distinct classes of histone deacetylases (…

[PDF][PDF] miR-378∗ mediates metabolic shift in breast cancer cells via the PGC-1β/ERRγ transcriptional pathway

LJ Eichner, MC Perry, CR Dufour, N Bertos, M Park… - Cell metabolism, 2010 - cell.com
Cancer cell metabolism is often characterized by a shift from an oxidative to a glycolytic
bioenergetics pathway, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. miR-378 ∗ is embedded …

Spatially distinct tumor immune microenvironments stratify triple-negative breast cancers

…, M Gigoux, VSK Manem, N Bertos… - The Journal of …, 2019 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Understanding the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) promises to be key for optimal
cancer therapy, especially in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Integrating spatial …

[PDF][PDF] Ligand-dependent nuclear receptor corepressor LCoR functions by histone deacetylase-dependent and-independent mechanisms

…, R Lin, O Cormier, HS Lee, F Eng, NR Bertos… - Molecular cell, 2003 - cell.com
LCoR (ligand-dependent corepressor) is a transcriptional corepressor widely expressed in
fetal and adult tissues that is recruited to agonist-bound nuclear receptors through a single …

Spatially mapping the immune landscape of melanoma using imaging mass cytometry

…, D Zuo, M Dankner, EH Xu, NR Bertos… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Melanoma is an immunogenic cancer with a high response rate to immune checkpoint
inhibitors (ICIs). It harbors a high mutation burden compared with other cancers and, as a result, …

Glycoprotein nonmetastatic B is an independent prognostic indicator of recurrence and a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer

…, Z Dong, C Russo, PA MacDonald, NR Bertos… - Clinical cancer …, 2010 - AACR
Purpose: Although the murine orthologue of glycoprotein nonmetastatic B (GPNMB),
Osteoactivin, promotes breast cancer metastasis in an in vivo mouse model, its importance in …

Regulation of global acetylation in mitosis through loss of histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases from chromatin

MJ Kruhlak, MJ Hendzel, W Fischle, NR Bertos… - Journal of Biological …, 2001 - ASBMB
Histone acetylation, a reversible modification of the core histones, is widely accepted to be
involved in remodeling chromatin organization for genetic reprogramming. Histone …
