    Abstract WNT signaling was discovered in tumor models and has been recognized as a regulator of cancer development and progression for over 3 decades. Recent work has highlighted a critical role for WNT signaling in the metabolic homeostasis of mammals, where its misregulation has been heavily implicated in diabetes. While the majority of WNT metabolism research has focused on nontransformed tissues, the role of WNT in cancer metabolism remains underinvestigated. Cancer is also a metabolic disease where oncogenic signaling pathways regulate energy production and macromolecular synthesis to fuel rapidly proliferating tumors. This review highlights the emerging evidence for WNT signaling in the reprogramming of cancer cell metabolism and examines the role of these signaling pathways as mediators of tumor bioenergetics.

    Abstract Fossil specimens of the exclusively oceanic calcareous nannoplankton were found only in the upper 200 m of the Cape Roberts Project 3 (CRP-3) cores. These assemblages are depauperate and sporadic in occurrence. The majority of the assemblages contain fewer than 4 species, indicating a severe palaeoecological restriction. The clear domination of these assemblages by reticulofenestrid species, coupled with the almost total exclusion of Coccolithus pelagicus, indicates cold surface water conditions in the Victoria Land Basin during the lives of these poor algae. These cold surface water conditions, perhaps coupled with abnormal surface water chemistry, excluded almost all of the age-diagnostic species from the area. The occurrence of Transversopontis pulcheroides, however, suggests a biostratigraphic assignment of lower Oligocene for this part of the core. The CRP-3 assemblages occur within fine-grained clastic sedimentary rocks, but only those that are in close stratigraphical proximity with coarser-grained lithologies.

    Abstract The molecular mechanisms underlying cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma are less well established than those for other common skin cancers, but recent evidence has highlighted a potentially critical role for WNT signaling in both the development and progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. WNT pathways are aberrantly regulated in multiple tumor types (albeit in a context-dependent manner), and this has stimulated the development of WNT inhibitory compounds for cancer treatment. In this review, we examine existing evidence for a role of WNT signaling in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and discuss if WNT inhibition represents a realistic therapeutic strategy for the future.

    Abstract Introduction: Failure to predict drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains a major contributing factor to lead compound drop-out during drug development. Xenopus embryos are amenable for early stage medium throughput small molecule screens and so have the potential to be used in pre-clinical screens. To begin to assess the usefulness and limitations of Xenopus embryos for safety assessment in the early phases of drug development, paracetamol was used as a model hepatotoxin. Paracetamol overdose is associated with acute liver injury. In mammals, the main mechanism of paracetamol-induced acute liver injury is an increased amount of the reactive metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) combined with a reduction of free glutathione (GSH). Humans that have taken an overdose of paracetamol are often treated with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC).
    Method: Xenopus laevis embryos were treated with up to 5 mM paracetamol from stage 38 to stage 45 during development, when the liver is functional. The presence of paracetamol-induced liver injury was assessed by: (1) microRNA-122 (miR-122) expression (a hepatic marker), (2) free GSH concentration (a marker of oxidative stress) and (3) NAC antioxidant intervention.
    Results: The amount of free GSH decreased significantly in embryos exposed to increasing paracetamol concentration. In embryos exposed to 5 mM paracetamol, 22.57 ± 4.25 nmol/mg GSH was detected compared to 47.11 ± 7.31 nmol/mg untreated embryos (mean ± SEM). In tail tissue, miRNA-122 expression increased 6.3-fold with 3 mM paracetamol concentration treatment compared to untreated embryos. NAC treatment altered the free GSH decline for embryos treated with up to 5 mM. Embryos exposed to 1 mM paracetamol and then exposed to 0.5 mM NAC 24 h prior to harvest, had a significantly higher amount of GSH compared to embryos that were only exposed to 1 mM paracetamol (mean ± SEM; 97.1 ± 9.6 nmol/mg and 54.5 ± 6.6 nmol/mg respectively).
    Conclusion: Xenopus laevis embryos exhibit similar characteristics of paracetamol-induced liver injury observed in mammalian models. These data indicate that the Xenopus embryo could be a useful in vivo model to assess DILI and aid lead compound prioritisation during the early phase of drug development, in combination with pre-clinical in vitro studies. Consequently, the Xenopus embryo could contribute to the reduction principle as defined by the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research.

    Abstract: ... core CRP-3 from the Victoria Land Basin of Antarctica is confirmed by scanning electron, scanning ...

    Abstract The presence of authigenic smectite in the lower Oligocene sandstones of the Cape Roberts Project core CRP-3 from the Victoria Land Basin of Antarctica is confirmed by scanning electron, scanning-transmission electron, and light microscopy. It was emplaced as a single generation of cement within the lower portion of the Oligocene section. This section has undergone no discernible compaction since cementation. Permeabilities measured on fifty core plugs show that the lower portion of the Oligocene (from 370-766 meters below sea floor) also has systematically higher values than sediment in uppermost CRP-3 and all of CRP-2 and CRP-1.
    Three models for smectite authigenesis are considered as multiple working hypotheses to be tested: 1) Burial diagenesis with necessary components sourced from volcanogenic materials and heavy minerals within the drilled sequence: 2) Precipitation from hydrothermal waters associated with possible igneous intrusion(s) and nearby faults; 3) Mobilization and injection of regionally compactive 'thermobaric' fluids along a nearby fault that bounds a major graben parallel to the Transantarctic Mountain Front. The preponderance of the available evidence and Occum's Razor favors the first model, although special circumstances dictated by the position of the drill site along a rapidly subsiding rift basin require that all three models be considered equally until our analyses are complete.

    Abstract Objective: Limited visibility of post-resection muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) on CT hinders radiotherapy dose escalation of the residual tumour. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) visualises areas of high tumour burden and is increasingly used within diagnosis and as a biomarker for cancer. DW-MRI could, therefore, facilitate dose escalation, potentially via dose-painting and/or accommodating response. However, the distortion inherent in DW-MRI could limit geometric accuracy. Therefore, this study aims to quantify DW-MRI distortion via imaging of a bladder phantom.
    Methods: A phantom was designed to mimic MIBC and imaged using CT, DW-MRI and T2W-MRI. Fiducial marker locations were compared across modalities and publicly available software was assessed for correction of magnetic susceptibility-related distortion.
    Results: Fiducial marker locations on CT and T2W-MRI agreed within 1.2 mm at 3 T and 1.8 mm at 1.5 T. The greatest discrepancy between CT and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps was 6.3 mm at 3 T, reducing to 1.8 mm when corrected for distortion. At 1.5 T, these values were 3.9 mm and 1.7 mm, respectively.
    Conclusions: Geometric distortion in DW-MRI of a model bladder was initially >6 mm at 3 T and >3 mm at 1.5 T; however, established correction methods reduced this to <2 mm in both cases.
    Advances in knowledge: A phantom designed to mimic MIBC has been produced and used to show distortion in DW-MRI can be sufficiently mitigated for incorporation into the radiotherapy pathway. Further investigation is therefore warranted to enable individually adaptive image-guided radiotherapy of MIBC based upon DW-MRI.
