Differential expression of the BCAT isoforms between breast cancer subtypes (2020)
Journal Article
Shafei, M. A., Flemban, A., Daly, C., Kendrick, P., White, P., Dean, S., …Conway, M. E. (2021). Differential expression of the BCAT isoforms between breast cancer subtypes. Breast Cancer, 28, 592–607. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12282-020-01197-7

© 2020, The Author(s). Background: Biological characterisation of breast cancer subtypes is essential as it informs treatment regimens especially as different subtypes have distinct locoregional patterns. This is related to metabolic phenotype, where... Read More about Differential expression of the BCAT isoforms between breast cancer subtypes.

Interaction between GRP78 and IGFBP-3 affects tumourigenesis and prognosis in breast cancer patients (2020)
Journal Article
Zielinska, H. A., Daly, C. S., Alghamdi, A., Bahl, A., Sohail, M., White, P., …Perks, C. M. (2020). Interaction between GRP78 and IGFBP-3 affects tumourigenesis and prognosis in breast cancer patients. Cancers, 12(12), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers12123821

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) plays a key role in breast cancer progression and was recently shown to bind to the chaperone protein glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78); however, the clinical significance of this association...

BCATc modulates crosstalk between the PI3K/Akt and the Ras/ERK pathway regulating proliferation in triple negative breast cancer (2020)
Journal Article
Shafei, M. A., Forshaw, T., Davis, J., Flemban, A., Qualtrough, D., Dean, S., …Conway, M. E. (2020). BCATc modulates crosstalk between the PI3K/Akt and the Ras/ERK pathway regulating proliferation in triple negative breast cancer. Oncotarget, 11, 1971-1987. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.27607

The cytosolic branched chain aminotransferase (BCATc) protein has been found to be highly expressed in breast cancer subtypes, including triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), compared with normal breast tissue. The catabolism of branched-chain amino... Read More about BCATc modulates crosstalk between the PI3K/Akt and the Ras/ERK pathway regulating proliferation in triple negative breast cancer.

Hypoxia modulates the stem cell population and induces EMT in the MCF-10A breast epithelial cell line (2017)
Journal Article
Daly, C. S., Flemban, A., Shafei, M., Conway, M. E., Qualtrough, D., & Dean, S. J. (2018). Hypoxia modulates the stem cell population and induces EMT in the MCF-10A breast epithelial cell line. Oncology Reports, 39(2), 483-490. https://doi.org/10.3892/or.2017.6125

A common feature among pre-malignant lesions is the induction of hypoxia through increased cell propagation and reduced access to blood flow. Hypoxia in breast cancer has been associated with poor patient prognosis, resistance to chemotherapy and inc...

Rapid in vitro testing and characterization of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents daunorubicin and cytarabine in acute myeloid leukaemia (2017)
Journal Article
May, J., Steven, J., Taylor, A., Dean, S., & Anderson, E. (2017). Rapid in vitro testing and characterization of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents daunorubicin and cytarabine in acute myeloid leukaemia. Mutagenesis, 32(6), 627. https://doi.org/10.1093/mutage/gex033

Treatment success in leukaemia is impacted by patient resistance to chemotherapy including cytarabine (ara-C) and the anthracycline daunorubicin (DNR) requiring rapid pre-screening testing. DNR is converted to daunorubicinol (DNRol) by carbonyl reduc...

A strategic approach for the visualisation of the low abundance protein fatty acid binding protein 7 (2015)
Journal Article
Dean, S. J., Perks, C. C., Rhodes, A., Holly, J. M., & Jarrett, C. (2015). A strategic approach for the visualisation of the low abundance protein fatty acid binding protein 7. American journal of biomedical sciences, 7(1), 15-25. https://doi.org/10.5099/aj150100015

Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) is a 15kDa protein that plays a role in fatty acid transport, solubilisation and metabolism. It has been found to be overexpressed in triple negative/basal like breast cancer patients. The role of FABP7 in these...

Triple negative breast cancer: The role of metabolic pathways (2014)
Journal Article
Dean, S. J., & Rhodes, A. (2014). Triple negative breast cancer: The role of metabolic pathways. Malaysian Journal of Pathology, 36(3), 155-162

The incidence of breast cancer in Malaysia and other Asian countries is on the increase, reflecting lifestyle changes some of which are known risk factors for the development of breast cancer. Most breast cancers are amenable to adjuvant therapies th... Read More about Triple negative breast cancer: The role of metabolic pathways.

An investigation in to the role of fatty acid binding protein-7, insulin like growth factor binding protein-2 and phosphatase and tensin homolog in triple negative breast cancer; in vitro and in vivo (2014)
Thesis
Dean, S. J. An investigation in to the role of fatty acid binding protein-7, insulin like growth factor binding protein-2 and phosphatase and tensin homolog in triple negative breast cancer; in vitro and in vivo. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/823941

Introduction Triple negative breast cancers are defined by their lack of expression of HER, oestrogen receptors and progesterone receptors. They account for around 10-24% of cases. To define a cancer by the biomarkers it does not express is unsati...
