Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
| According with the WG2 (“Selection of biological targets and assessment of biological data”), we propose a proteomic approach based on mass spectrometry to find new targets of therapy. Also, we propose two new targets of therapy (WG2-T1), which are TCL1 and Annexin A4, respectively involved in lymphoma development and drug resistance to paclitaxel in lung cancer cells. Their role in human disease is well known for TCL1 and emerging for Annexin A4. Unfortunately are not available crystal structures in presence of ligands complexed into their binding pockets.
In overall, to define the role of a target protein as oncogene or tumor suppressor in our cancer models, we induce its restoration or down-regulation and we evaluate the consequent biological outcomes. Moreover, the response to chemical agents (drugs) is evaluated in vitro (proliferation and apoptosis assays; physical interaction of the target with its partner by western blotting) and in vivo (xenograft mouse models and drug treatments) (WG2-T3).
