  1. ncbi Wilms' tumour: connecting tumorigenesis and organ development in the kidney
    Miguel N Rivera
    Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129, USA
    Nat Rev Cancer 5:699-712. 2005
    ..Our understanding of the roles of WT1 in tumour formation and organogenesis have advanced in parallel, providing a striking example of the intersection between tumour biology, cellular differentiation and normal organogenesis...
  2. ncbi Vaccines for cervical cancer
    Christopher P Crum
    Division of Women s and Perinatal Pathology, Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
    Cancer J 9:368-76. 2003
    ..However, success will require identifying and circumventing the mechanisms by which tumor cells evade the immune system...
  3. ncbi The WTX tumor suppressor enhances p53 acetylation by CBP/p300
    Woo Jae Kim
    Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA
    Mol Cell 45:587-97. 2012
    ..Together, these results suggest that WTX modulates p53 function, in part through regulation of its activator CBP/p300...
  4. ncbi The predominant WT1 isoform (+KTS) encodes a DNA-binding protein targeting the planar cell polarity gene Scribble in renal podocytes
    Julie Wells
    Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA
    Mol Cancer Res 8:975-85. 2010
    ..Together, our results support a role for the predominant WT1(+KTS) isoform in transcriptional regulation and suggest a link between the WT1-dependent tumor suppressor pathway and a key component of the planar cell polarity pathway...

    Genes Chromosomes Cancer 46:909-13. 2007
    ..This case demonstrates the importance of array CGH and FISH as adjuncts in tumor cytogenetics and in identifying pathogenic microdeletions in "balanced" translocations that are not truly balanced...

  1. Functional Characterization of WTX in Renal Development
    Miguel Rivera; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..It is anticipated that, by furthering our knowledge of early kidney development, this project will have public health applications in pediatric and adult kidney disease, kidney tissue repair and kidney cancer. ..
