“…Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are aberrantly expressed by tumor cells and may represent a source of shared T-cell epitopes for cancer immunotherapy regardless of the tumor mutational burden.Methods A transcriptomic analysis based on RNA sequencing was developed to quantify the expression of HERV-K sequences containing the selected epitopes. The presence of HERV-K/HML-2 Gag antigen was then assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tumor microarrays from ovarian cancer samples and normal ovarian tissues. …”

A high-content small molecule screen identifies sensitivity of glioblastoma stem cells to inhibition of polo-like kinase 1. by Davide Danovi, Amos Folarin, Sabine Gogolok, Christine Ender, Ahmed M O Elbatsh, Pär G Engström, Stefan H Stricker, Sladjana Gagrica, Ana Georgian, Ding Yu, Kin Pong U, Kevin J Harvey, Patrizia Ferretti, Patrick J Paddison, Jane E Preston, N Joan Abbott, Paul Bertone, Austin Smith, Steven M Pollard

“…We used live-cell imaging and high content image analysis tools and identified JNJ-10198409 (J101) as an agent that induces mitotic arrest at prometaphase in GNS cells but not NS cells. Antibody microarrays and kinase profiling suggested that J101 responses are triggered by suppression of the active phosphorylated form of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) (phospho T210), with resultant spindle defects and arrest at prometaphase. …”
