Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Centre for Cancer Therapeutics, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Biochim Biophys Acta 1538:1-9. 2001..The different mechanisms of ERK activation used by normal and mutant EGF receptors may be important in understanding the potent tumorigenic activity of EGFRvIII...
Induction of apoptosis in glioblastoma cells by an atypical protein kinase C pseudosubstrate peptideIan A J Lorimer
Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Centre for Cancer Therapeutics, Ontario, Canada
Anticancer Res 22:623-31. 2002..We have assessed the cytotoxicity of an inhibitor of atypical protein kinase C on glioblastoma cells expressing EGFRvIII...
Mutant epidermal growth factor receptors as targets for cancer therapyI A J Lorimer
Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Centre for Cancer Therapeutics, 503 Smyth Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1H 1C4
Curr Cancer Drug Targets 2:91-102. 2002..This review covers our current understanding of the properties of EGFRvIII, and recent developments in the characterization and therapeutic application of EGFRvIII-specific antibodies...
Targeting retrovirus to cancer cells expressing a mutant EGF receptor by insertion of a single chain antibody variable domain in the envelope glycoprotein receptor binding lobeI A Lorimer
Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Cancer Research Group, 501 Smyth Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1H 8L6
J Immunol Methods 237:147-57. 2000..Thus we were able to redirect retrovirus binding to this tumour-specific target without perturbing the normal function of the ecotropic envelope glycoprotein, but this was not sufficient to mediate infectivity via this receptor...
Antibody recognition of a conformational epitope in a peptide antigen: Fv-peptide complex of an antibody fragment specific for the mutant EGF receptor, EGFRvIIIR C Landry
Department of Biochemistry Microbiology and Immunology, University of Ottawa, 451 Smyth, Ottawa, K1H 8M5, Canada
J Mol Biol 308:883-93. 2001....
Regulation of p27Kip1 by miRNA 221/222 in glioblastomaJana K Gillies
Ottawa Health Research Institute, Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada
Cell Cycle 6:2005-9. 2007..These data show that p27(Kip1) is a direct target for microRNAs 221 and 222, and suggest a role for these microRNAs in promoting the aggressive growth of human glioblastoma...
A phase II trial of ZD1839 (Iressa) 750 mg per day, an oral epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancerMary J Mackenzie
Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre, 699 Concession St, Hamilton, ON, Canada L8V 5C2
Invest New Drugs 23:165-70. 2005..There were no treatment related deaths. CONCLUSIONS: ZD1839, when given at 750 mg/day to patients with pre-treated metastatic colorectal cancer, does not result in significant tumor regression...
Rescue and propagation of fully retargeted oncolytic measles virusesTakafumi Nakamura
Nat Biotechnol 23:209-14. 2005..These data provide an in vivo demonstration of antibody-directed tumor destruction by retargeted oncolytic viruses...

Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and Kidney Research Center, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
J Biol Chem 278:44966-74. 2003..Moreover, our results suggest that HIF might be involved in oncogenesis to a much higher extent than previously appreciated...
A pharmacodynamic study of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 in metastatic colorectal cancer patientsManijeh Daneshmand
Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Ottawa, Ontario, K1H 1C4 Canada
Clin Cancer Res 9:2457-64. 2003..ZD1839 may also induce cancer cell apoptosis in a subset of colorectal cancer patients via up-regulation of p27(Kip1)...
Interaction of Hsp90 with the nascent form of the mutant epidermal growth factor receptor EGFRvIIISylvie J Lavictoire
Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Centre for Cancer Therapeutics, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 1C4, Canada
J Biol Chem 278:5292-9. 2003..These studies show that nascent EGFRvIII in the endoplasmic reticulum associates with Hsp90 and Cdc37, and that the Hsp90 association is necessary to maintain expression of EGFRvIII...
