Resistance to Radiation Enhances Metastasis by Altering RNA Metabolism

Ayush Kumar, Kensei Kishimoto, Hira Lal Goel…·Arthur M. Mercurio

This study shows that radiation resistance in TNBC enhances metastasis through RNA metabolism changes, specifically via HNRNPL-mediated circRNAs that regulate ITGβ3 expression.

High dose IFN-β activates GAF to enhance expression of ISGF3 target genes in epithelial cells

Kensei Kishimoto, Catera L. Wilder, Justin Buchanan…·Quen J. Cheng

The paper shows that high-dose IFN-β activates both ISGF3 and GAF in epithelial cells, with GAF enhancing ISGF3 target gene expression through co-localization and chromosome looping.
