[HTML][HTML] Estrogen signaling in endometrial cancer: a key oncogenic pathway with several open questions

AC Rodriguez, Z Blanchard, KA Maurer, J Gertz - Hormones and Cancer, 2019 - Springer
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in the developed world, and
it is one of the few cancer types that is becoming more prevalent and leading to more deaths …

[HTML][HTML] BRCA1-IRIS inactivation overcomes paclitaxel resistance in triple negative breast cancers

Z Blanchard, BT Paul, B Craft, WM ElShamy - Breast Cancer Research, 2015 - Springer
Introduction Intrinsic or acquired chemoresistance is a major problem in oncology. Although
highly responsive to chemotherapies such as paclitaxel, most triple negative breast cancer (…

Estrogen-independent molecular actions of mutant estrogen receptor 1 in endometrial cancer

Z Blanchard, JM Vahrenkamp, KC Berrett… - Genome …, 2019 - genome.cshlp.org
Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutations have been identified in hormone therapy–resistant
breast cancer and primary endometrial cancer. Analyses in breast cancer suggest that mutant …

Estrogen receptor alpha mutations in breast cancer cells cause gene expression changes through constant activity and secondary effects

S Arnesen, Z Blanchard, MM Williams, KC Berrett, Z Li… - Cancer research, 2021 - AACR
This study demonstrates the multiple roles of mutant ER in breast cancer progression, including
constant ER activity and secondary regulatory effects on gene expression and chromatin …

[HTML][HTML] Geminin overexpression induces mammary tumors via suppressing cytokinesis

Z Blanchard, R Malik, N Mullins, C Maric, H Luk… - Oncotarget, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Aneuploidy plays an important role in the development of cancer. Here, we uncovered an
oncogenic role for geminin in mitotic cells. In addition to chromatin, tyrosine phosphorylated …

CM Rush, Z Blanchard, JT Polaski, KS Osborne… - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
Most endometrial cancers express the hormone receptor estrogen receptor alpha (ER) and
are driven by excess estrogen signaling. However, evaluation of the estrogen response in …

[PDF][PDF] Estrogen receptor alpha mutations regulate gene expression and cell growth in breast cancer through microRNAs

S Arnesen, JT Polaski, Z Blanchard, KS Osborne… - NAR …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
