ABSTRACTArylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) are polymorphic xenobiotic metabolising enzymes, linked to cancer susceptibility in a variety of tissues. In humans and in mice there are multiple NAT… (More)
ming language for writing parallel programs. It is based on the Fortran 90 language, with extensions that enable the programmer to specify how array operations can be divided among multiple… (More)
Allelic imbalance is a common feature of many malignancies. We have measured allelic imbalance in genomic DNA from the breast cancer cell lines T47D, MDA-MB-231, two antiestrogen sensitive (MCF7N and… (More)
Arylamine N -acetyltransferases (NATs) catalyse the acetylation from acetyl-CoA of arylamines and hydrazines. There are two human isoenzymes which show polymorphism, and both enzymes are involved in… (More)
Heterocyclic amines are mammary carcinogens in rats and their N-hydroxy metabolites are substrates for subsequent metabolic activation by N-acetyltransferases (NAT) and sulfotransferases (SULT) in… (More)
Human arylamine N-acetyltransferase type 1 (NAT1), better known as a drug-metabolising enzyme, has been proposed to acetylate the folate catabolite p-aminobenzoylglutamate (p-abaglu) to… (More)
Breast and ovarian cancer patients harboring BRCA1/2 germline mutations have clinically benefitted from therapy with PARP inhibitor (PARPi) or platinum compounds, but acquired resistance limits… (More)
Although poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are active in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancers, their utility is limited by acquired resistance after restoration of HR. Here, we… (More)
Patients with cancers that harbor breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) mutations initially respond well to platinum and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) therapy; however, resistance invariably arises… (More)
Approximately 50% of high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOCs) have defects in genes involved in homologous recombination (HR) (i.e., BRCA1/2). Preclinical models to optimize therapeutic strategies… (More)
