Int J Mol Sci . 2020 Dec; 21(24). PMID: 33322336
Survivin, as an antiapoptotic protein often overexpressed in cancer cells, is a logical target for potential cancer treatment. By overexpressing survivin, cancer cells can avoid apoptotic cell death and often...

Majera D, Skrott Z, Chroma K, Merchut-Maya J, Mistrik M, Bartek J
Cells . 2020 Feb; 9(2). PMID: 32085572
Research on repurposing the old alcohol-aversion drug disulfiram (DSF) for cancer treatment has identified inhibition of NPL4, an adaptor of the p97/VCP segregase essential for turnover of proteins involved in...

Skrott Z, Majera D, Gursky J, Buchtova T, Hajduch M, Mistrik M, et al.
Oncogene . 2019 Aug; 38(40):6711-6722. PMID: 31391554
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is a proposed biomarker and possible target to eradicate cancer stem cells. ALDH inhibition as a treatment approach is supported by anti-cancer effects of the alcohol-abuse drug...

Vancurova M, Hanzlikova H, Knoblochova L, Kosla J, Majera D, Mistrik M, et al.
DNA Repair (Amst) . 2019 Apr; 78:114-127. PMID: 31009828
The bulk of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation (IR) is generally repaired within hours, yet a subset of DNA lesions may persist even for long periods of time. Such...

Majera D, Skrott Z, Bouchal J, Bartkova J, Simkova D, Gachechiladze M, et al.
Prostate . 2018 Dec; 79(4):352-362. PMID: 30499118
Background: Castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) represents a serious health challenge. Based on mechanistically-supported rationale we explored new therapeutic options based on clinically available drugs with anticancer effects, including inhibitors of...

Kurfurstova D, Bartkova J, Vrtel R, Mickova A, Burdova A, Majera D, et al.
Mol Oncol . 2016 Mar; 10(6):879-94. PMID: 26987799
The DNA damage checkpoints provide an anti-cancer barrier in diverse tumour types, however this concept has remained unexplored in prostate cancer (CaP). Furthermore, targeting DNA repair defects by PARP1 inhibitors...
