The type-I and -II insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I, II) are now established as survival- or proliferation-factors in many in vitro systems. Of note IGFs provide trophic support for multiple cell… Expand
Initial testing (stage 1) of the polo‐like kinase inhibitor volasertib (BI 6727), by the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program
- R. Gorlick, E. Kolb, +9 authors M. Smith
- Medicine
- Pediatric blood & cancer
- 1 January 2014
Volasertib (BI 6727) is a potent inhibitor of Polo‐like kinase 1 (Plk1), that is overexpressed in several childhood cancers and cell lines. Because of its novel mechanism of action, volasertib was… Expand

The clinical success of the BCL-2-selective BH3-mimetic venetoclax in patients with poor prognosis chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) highlights the potential of targeting the BCL-2-regulated… Expand
Initial testing (stage 1) of the histone deacetylase inhibitor, quisinostat (JNJ‐26481585), by the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program
- H. Carol, R. Gorlick, +13 authors R. Lock
- Medicine
- Pediatric blood & cancer
- 1 February 2014
Quisinostat (JNJ‐26481585) is a second‐generation pyrimidyl‐hydroxamic acid histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with high cellular potency towards Class I and II HDACs. Quisinostat was selected for… Expand
The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor-targeting antibody, CP-751,871, suppresses tumor-derived VEGF and synergizes with rapamycin in models of childhood sarcoma.
- R. Kurmasheva, L. Dudkin, C. Billups, L. Debelenko, C. Morton, P. Houghton
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 1 October 2009
Signaling through the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) occurs in many human cancers, including childhood sarcomas. As a consequence, targeting the IGF-1R has become a focus for… Expand
IRS-1: auditing the effectiveness of mTOR inhibitors.
- J. Easton, R. Kurmasheva, P. Houghton
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer cell
- 1 March 2006
Rapamycin analogs that inhibit mTOR signaling have antitumor activity against certain lymphomas, but treatment of solid tumors has been less encouraging despite inhibition of mTOR function. Two… Expand

- H. Bid, Jun Zhan, D. Phelps, R. Kurmasheva, P. Houghton
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular Cancer Therapeutics
- 21 December 2011
Previously, we reported that a predominant action of a type-1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R)-targeted antibody was through inhibiting tumor-derived VEGF, and indirectly, angiogenesis.… Expand
