Nras Mouse Melanoma Cell Lines
TS-049491 — Dr. Christin Burd's lab at The Ohio State University has developed a set of Nras-mutant mouse melanoma cell lines that can be used for preclinical tumor immunology and cancer biology studies.
Studies show that 15-30% of melanomas are Nras driven and 60% of melanomas are Braf driven. Dr. Christin Burd's lab at The Ohio State University has developed a set of Nras-mutant mouse melanoma cell lines that complement a set of Braf cell lines developed by Marcus Bosenberg at Yale Universit…

Novel Small-Molecule Integrin-linked Kinase/Phosphoinositide-dependent Protein Kinase-2 Inhibitors
TS-037647 — A novel set of molecules that inhibit integrin-linked kinase in order to suppress tumor cell growth and metastasis.
The Akt signaling pathway is responsible for apoptosis, cell proliferation, and metabolism. In tumor cells, this pathway is up-regulated and aids in promoting cancer cell survival. Complete activation of Akt pathway requires phosphorylation at two amino-acid residues, which are phosporylated by se…

Anti-NCL Immunoagent for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
TS-015251 — Nucleolin (NCL) is up-regulated in cancer cells, and modulates pro-tumorigenic pathways and chemoresistance. This anti-NCL agent binds and blocks NCL signaling, and may be optimized as cancer therapeutic and diagnostic tool.
Despite huge advancements in detection and treatment, cancer remains a top world health concern. One of the major limitations of current technology is adequately detecting tumor margins and micrometastases. Even with aggressive tumor resection and adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy, tumor cells…

Estrogen Receptor Beta Agonist Compounds
TS-015086 — Estrogen Receptor Beta Agonists for the treatment of breast, colon, and prostate cancers as well as inflammatory diseases.
There is a large emphasis on the need for novel and more effective cancer therapeutics, since there were nearly 600,000 cancer deaths in the United States in 2016 alone. One method for therapy of prostate, breast, and colon cancer that has been gaining traction is the targeting of estrogen recepto…

Small Molecule AR-Ablative Agents
TS-014842 — A new strategy for using androgen receptor ablative agents has been developed for prostate cancer therapy.
Hormone-refractory prostate cancer is incurable, and patients with this disease have few treatment options. Dysregulation of the androgen receptor (AR) is a hallmark of this incurable cancer. Molecular changes during cancer enhance AR sensitivity or permit AR activation by antiestrogen so that pro…

Glucose Transporter Inhibitors (GLUT1 Inhibitors)
TS-014734 — A potential cancer treatment that suppresses the ability for cancer cells to intake glucose, thereby hampering cancer cell production.
A fundamental property of neoplastic cells is the shift in cellular metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. This glycolytic shift, called the Warburg effect, enables cancer cells to adapt to low-oxygen microenvironments, to generate biosynthetic building blocks for cell pr…
