Lee, Connie W, Simin, Karl, Liu, Qin, Plescia, Janet, Guha, Minakshi, Khan, Ashraf, ...

Abstract Introduction Basal-type, or triple-negative, breast cancer (lacking estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 expression) is a high-risk disease...

Analysis of integrin beta4 expression in human breast cancer: association with basal-like tumors and prognostic significance (2008)

Lu, Shaolei, Simin, Karl, Khan, Ashraf, Mercurio, Arthur M.

PURPOSE: The beta4 integrin has been implicated in functions associated with the genesis and progression of carcinomas based on data obtained from cell lines and mouse models. Data on its expression...

Identification of conserved gene expression features between murine mammary carcinoma models and human breast tumors (2007)

Herschkowitz, Jason I, Simin, Karl, Weigman, Victor J, Mikaelian, Igor, Usary, Jerry, Hu, Zhiyuan, ...

Abstract Background Although numerous mouse models of breast carcinomas have been developed, we do not know the extent to which any faithfully represent clinically significant human phenotypes. To...

pRb Inactivation in Mammary Cells Reveals Common Mechanisms for Tumor Initiation and Progression in Divergent Epithelia (2004)

Karl Simin, Hua Wu, Lucy Lu, Dan Pinkel, Donna Albertson, Robert D. Cardiff, ...

Inactivation of the three retinoblastoma genes in the mouse mammary gland provides a new animal model for human breast cancer.

pRb Inactivation in Mammary Cells Reveals Common Mechanisms for Tumor Initiation and Progression in Divergent Epithelia (2004)

Karl Simin, Hua Wu, Lucy Lu, Dan Pinkel, Donna Albertson, Robert D. Cardiff, ...

Retinoblastoma 1 (pRb) and the related pocket proteins, retinoblastoma-like 1 (p107) and retinoblastoma-like 2 (p130) (pRbf, collectively), play a pivotal role in regulating eukaryotic cell cycle...

Conserved Linkage of Early Growth Response 4, Annexin 4, and Transforming Growth Factor [alpha] on Mouse Chromosome 6 (1994)

Barrow, Lon L., Simin, Karl, Jones, Julie M., Lee, David C., Meisler, Miriam H.

The mouse genes encoding early growth response 4 (Egr4), annexin IV (Anx4), and transforming growth factor a (Tgfa) have been mapped to a linkage group on mouse chromosome 6 that is conserved on...

Insertional mutation of the hairless locus on mouse Chromosome 14 (1993)

Jones, Julie M., Keller, Scott A., Elder, James T., Simin, Karl, Meisler, Miriam H.

Crosses between heterozygous transgenic mice from line 5053 produced offspring with progressive irreversible hair loss beginning at day 10. With increasing age, the skin of these animals became...

mnd2: A New Mouse Model of Inherited Motor Neuron Disease (1993)

Jones, Julie M., Albin, Roger L., Feldman, Eva L., Simin, Karl, Schuster, Timothy G., Dunnick, Wesley A., ...

The autosomal recessive mutation mnd2 results in early onset motor neuron disease with rapidly progressive paralysis, severe muscle wasting, regression of thymus and spleen, and death before 40 days...

The Drosophila Gene for Antizyme Requires Ribosomal Frameshifting for Expression and Contains an Intronic Gene for snRNP Sm D3 on the Opposite Strand

Ivanov, Ivaylo P., Simin, Karl, Letsou, Anthea, Atkins, John F., Gesteland, Raymond F.

Previously, a Drosophila melanogaster sequence with high homology to the sequence for mammalian antizyme (ornithine decarboxylase antizyme) was reported. The present study shows that homology of this...

Profiling Patterned Transcripts in Drosophila Embryos

Simin, Karl, Scuderi, Anne, Reamey, James, Dunn, Diane, Weiss, Robert, Metherall, James E., ...

Here we describe a high-throughput screen to isolate transcripts with spatially restricted patterns of expression in early embryos. Our approach utilizes robotic automation for rapid analysis of...
