April 1998 in “Current Biology” The study investigated the effects of expressing a mutant H-ras oncogene in different epidermal cell types in mice, revealing that targeting hair follicle cells led to the development of benign skin tumors that often progressed to malignant squamous and spindle carcinomas. This contrasted with previous findings where expression in interfollicular cells did not lead to spontaneous malignancy. The study involved 464 animals, with 30% developing skin tumors, highlighting the significant influence of the targeted cell type on the malignant potential of tumors, with hair follicle cells being a primary source of tumors at high risk of malignant conversion.

June 2007 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” The study explored the effects of MT-DADMe-ImmA, an inhibitor of 5′-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), on head and neck cancer cell lines, particularly FaDu and Cal27. The treatment with MT-DADMe-ImmA and 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA) increased MTA concentrations, decreased polyamines, and induced apoptosis in these cancer cells by causing mitochondrial dysfunction and changes in DNA methylation. The combination treatment was selective for cancer cells, sparing normal fibroblasts and MTAP-deficient breast cancer cells. In a mouse model, MT-DADMe-ImmA led to tumor remission without significant toxicity, suggesting its potential as a selective anticancer agent for tumors sensitive to reduced CpG island methylation.
