TTP: Tool for Tumor Progression
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we present a flexible tool for tumor progression, which simulates the evolutionary dynamics of cancer. Tumor progression implements a multi-type branching process where the key parameters are the fitness landscape, the mutation rate, and the average time of cell division. The fitness of a cancer cell depends on the mutations it has accumulated. The input to our tool could be any fitness landscape, mutation rate, and cell division time, and the tool produces the growth dynamics and all relevant statistics.

Tristetraprolin regulates interleukin-6, which is correlated with tumor progression in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Tumor-derived cytokines play a significant role in the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Targeting proteins, such as tristetraprolin (TTP), that regulate multiple inflammatory cytokines may inhibit the progression of HNSCC. However, TTP's role in cancer is poorly understood. The goal of the current study was to determine whether TTP regulates inflammatory ...
متن کاملDepletion of tristetraprolin in breast cancer cells increases interleukin-16 expression and promotes tumor infiltration with monocytes/macrophages.
The RNA-binding protein tristetraprolin (TTP) destabilizes target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) containing AU-rich elements within their 3' untranslated region. Thereby, it controls the expression of multiple inflammatory and tumor-associated transcripts. Moreover, a loss of TTP in tumors predicts disease-associated survival. Although tumor intrinsic functions of TTP have previously been studied, the ...
متن کاملBridging Sunitinib Exposure to Time‐to‐Tumor Progression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients With Mathematical Modeling of an Angiogenic Biomarker
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is third in cancer-related causes of death worldwide and its treatment is a significant unmet medical need. Sunitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the angiogenic biomarker: soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (sVEGFR2 ). Sunitinib failed its primary overall survival endpoint in patients with advanced HCC in a phase III trial compar...
متن کاملIdentification of biomarkers for pseudo and true progression of GBM based on radiogenomics study
The diagnosis for pseudoprogression (PsP) and true tumor progression (TTP) of GBM is a challenging task in clinical practices. The purpose of this study is to identify potential genetic biomarkers associated with PsP and TTP based on the clinical records, longitudinal imaging features, and genomics data. We are the first to introduce the radiogenomics approach to identify candidate genes for Ps...
متن کاملTristetraprolin inhibits gastric cancer progression through suppression of IL-33
Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an adenine/uridine (AU)-rich element (ARE)-binding protein that can induce degradation of mRNAs. In this study, we report that TTP suppresses the expression of interleukin-33 (IL-33), a tumor-promoting inflammatory cytokine, and thereby inhibits the progression of gastric cancer (GC). Overexpression of TTP decreased the level of IL-33, whereas knockdown of TTP increased...
