Efficacy of Wee1 G2 Checkpoint Kinase and Mouse Double Minute 2 Homolog Inhibitors in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Determined by p53 Status
|
KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT, CD117) and platelet-derived growth factor-alpha (PDGFRA) are key drivers of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), but resistance to targeted therapy often arises from tumor protein p53 (p53) alterations and loss of cell cycle control.

Cell cycle distribution, annexin V, and caspase 3/7 results showed that HDM201 decreased the S phase population and increased the sub-G1 phase population and apoptosis in p53 WT cells, whereas adavosertib increased apoptosis in p53 MT cells, along with an increase in the sub-G1 phase and induction of S phase and/or G2/M arrest.

We analyzed the proteins associated with p53 activity (p53 and p21), which are regulated by MDM2, and cell cycle-related proteins (cdc2, p-cdc2, Wee1, and p-Wee1), which are influenced by adavosertib in these cells (Fig. 4).

Dataset Description
Dataset Summary This dataset has been extracted from Europe PMC (EPMC), a free database offering comprehensive access to life sciences research literature. EPMC aggregates content from various sources, including PubMed, arXiv, and other repositories, and provides open access to millions of scientific articles. This dataset has been generated as part of a project collaboration between Europe PMC, Open Targets, and ChEMBL] at EMBL-EBI.
Dataset Details
The dataset focuses on mentions of cell lines and related entities in biomedical text, such as cell types, related disease mentions, genes proteins etc. This makes it a valuable resource as it can be used for(but not limited to) the following downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks in the biomedical domain.
NLP Tasks
Named Entity Recognition (NER): Identify and classify mentions of cell lines or related entities appearing in biomedical contexts.
Relationship Extraction: Extract relationships between cell lines and other biomedical entities, such as genes, diseases, or drugs.
Text Classification: Classify sentences or articles based on their relevance to specific cell lines, particularly in cancer research or drug development.
Sentiment Analysis: Analyze the sentiment or tone of texts discussing cell lines, such as the evaluation of experimental results (positive or negative).
Information Retrieval: Develop systems to retrieve articles or specific mentions of cell lines based on user queries.
Entity Linking: Link cell line mentions in text to standardized identifiers in cell line ontologies or databases.
Question Answering (QA): Build systems that can answer specific questions about cell lines, such as their role in particular diseases or experiments.
Topic Modeling: Analyze the dataset to uncover major themes or trends in research involving cell lines.
Text Summarization: Automatically generate summaries of articles or sections discussing cell lines.
