Altered efficacy of AT1R-targeted treatment after spontaneous cancer cell-AT1R upregulationEleanor I Ager
The Department of Surgery, Austin Health, The University of Melbourne, Heidelberg, Vic, Australia
BMC Cancer 11:274. 2011..We aimed to establish if combined targeting of the 'classical' and 'alternative' arms of the RAS could result in synergistic inhibition of colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases...
Expression and protein localisation of IGF2 in the marsupial placentaEleanor I Ager
Department of Zoology, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, 3010, Australia
BMC Dev Biol 8:17. 2008..This study examines the role of IGF2 in the yolk sac placenta of the tammar wallaby, Macropus eugenii...
Evolution of the CDKN1C-KCNQ1 imprinted domainEleanor I Ager
Department of Zoology, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, 3010, Australia
BMC Evol Biol 8:163. 2008..The CDKN1C and IGF2 genes are both imprinted and syntenic in the mouse and human, but in marsupials only IGF2 is imprinted. This study examines the evolution of features that, in eutherians, regulate CDKN1C imprinting...
The renin-angiotensin system and malignancyEleanor I Ager
Department of Surgery, Austin Health, University of Melbourne, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084, Australia
Carcinogenesis 29:1675-84. 2008..Manipulation of the RAS may, therefore, provide a safe and inexpensive anticancer strategy...
Targeting the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) in colorectal liver metastasesEleanor I Ager
Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Austin Health, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia
Cancer Cell Int 10:19. 2010..This study examined the effect of AT2R activation with the agonist CGP42112A in a mouse model of CRC liver metastases...
Genomic imprinting in marsupial placentationMarilyn B Renfree
Department of Zoology, ARC Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria 3010, Australia
Reproduction 136:523-31. 2008..There is currently no evidence for genomic imprinting in the egg-laying monotreme mammals. However, since these mammals do have a short-lived placenta, imprinting appears to be correlated with viviparity but not placentation...
Changes in the renin angiotensin system during the development of colorectal cancer liver metastasesJaclyn H Neo
Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Austin Health, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia
BMC Cancer 10:134. 2010..In this work we defined the expression of the various components of the RAS in both tumor and liver during the progression of this disease...
Analysis of the platypus genome suggests a transposon origin for mammalian imprintingAndrew J Pask
Department of Zoology, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Genome Biol 10:R1. 2009..The recent release of the platypus genome has provided the first opportunity to perform comparisons between prototherian (monotreme; which appear to lack imprinting) and therian (marsupial and eutherian; which have imprinting) mammals...
Liver regeneration and tumour stimulation: implications of the renin-angiotensin systemShir Lin Koh
Austin Health, Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Heidelberg, Vic, Australia
Liver Int 30:1414-26. 2010..The potential of the RAS as a novel therapeutic target for CRC liver metastases patients undergoing liver resection will be outlined...
The rod opsin pigments from two marsupial species, the South American bare-tailed woolly opossum and the Australian fat-tailed dunnartDavid M Hunt
Division of Molecular Genetics, Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, Bath Street, EC1V 9EL, London, UK
Gene 323:157-62. 2003..From microspectrophotometric measurements, the pigments in the two species show an 8 nm difference in peak absorbance; the molecular basis for this spectral shift is discussed and two candidate substitutions are identified...
