• Somatostatin Receptor Splicing Variant sst5TMD4 Overexpression in Glioblastoma Is Associated with Poor Survival, Increased Aggressiveness Features and Somatostatin Analogs Resistance 

      Fuentes-Fayos, Antonio C.; G‐García, Miguel E; Pérez Gómez, J.M.; Peel, Annabel; Blanco‐Acevedo, Cristóbal; Solivera, Juan; Ibáñez-Costa, Alejandro; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D.; Castaño, Justo P.; Luque, Raúl M. (MDPI, 2022)
      Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and lethal brain tumor. Current standard treatment consists of surgery followed by radiotherapy/chemotherapy; however, this is only a palliative approach with a mean post-operative ...
    • Spliceosomal profiling identifies EIF4A3 as a novel oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma acting through the modulation of FGFR4 splicing 

      López Cánovas, Juan Luis; Hermán Sánchez, Natalia; Moreno Montilla, M. Trinidad; Río Moreno, Mercedes del; Alors-Pérez, Emilia; Sánchez-Frías, Marina; Amado-Torres, Víctor; Ciria, Rubén; Briceño Delgado, Francisco Javier; Mata, Manuel de la; Castaño, Justo P.; Rodríguez-Perálvarez, Manuel; Luque, Raúl M.; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D. (Wiley, 2022)
      Introduction: Altered splicing landscape is an emerging cancer hallmark; however, the dysregulation and implication of the cellularmachinery controlling this process (spliceosome components and splicing factors) in ...
    • Splicing factor SF3B1 is overexpressed and implicated in the aggressiveness and survival of hepatocellular carcinoma 

      López Cánovas, Juan Luis; Río Moreno, Mercedes del; García Fernández, Helena; Jiménez-Vacas, J.M.; Moreno Montilla, M. Trinidad; Sánchez-Frías, Marina; Amado-Torres, Víctor; L-López, Fernando; Fernández Fondevila, Marcos; Ciria, Rubén; Gómez-Luque, Irene; Briceño Delgado, Francisco Javier; Nogueiras, Rubén; Mata, Manuel de la; Castaño, Justo P.; Rodríguez-Perálvarez, Manuel; Luque, Raúl M.; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D. (Elsevier, 2020)
      Splicing alterations represent an actionable cancer hallmark. Splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) is a crucial splicing factor that can be targeted pharmacologically (e.g. pladienolide-B). Here, we show that SF3B1 is ...
    • Splicing Machinery is Dysregulated in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors and is Associated with Aggressiveness Features 

      Vázquez Borrego, María del Carmen; Fuentes-Fayos, Antonio C.; Venegas-Moreno, Eva; Rivero-Cortés, Esther; Dios, Elena; Moreno Moreno, Paloma; Madrazo-Atutxa, Ainara; Remón, Pablo; Solivera, Juan; Wildemberg, Luiz E.; Kasuki, Leandro; López-Fernández, Judith M.; Gadelha, Mônica R.; Gálvez-Moreno, M. Ángeles; Soto-Moreno, Alfonso; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D.; Castaño, Justo P.; Luque, Raúl M. (MDPI, 2019)
      Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) constitute approximately 15% of all brain tumors, and most have a sporadic origin. Recent studies suggest that altered alternative splicing and, consequently, appearance of aberrant ...
    • Unleashing the Diagnostic, Prognostic and Therapeutic Potential of the Neuronostatin/GPR107 System in Prostate Cancer 

      Sáez Martínez, Prudencio; Jiménez-Vacas, J.M.; León González, A.J.; Herrero-Aguayo, V.; Montero-Hidalgo, Antonio J.; Gómez-Gómez, E.; Sánchez-Sánchez, Rafael; Requena-Tapia, M.J.; Castaño, Justo P.; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D.; Luque, Raúl M. (MDPI, 2020)
      Certain components of the somatostatin-system play relevant roles in Prostate Cancer (PCa), whose most aggressive phenotype (Castration-Resistant-PCa (CRPC)) remains lethal nowadays. However, neuronostatin and the G ...
