Targeting RNA metabolism in Cancer: From the bench to bedside and back again
Many cancers are characterized by a decoupling of the transcriptome from the proteome. This enables the cancer cell to implement a wide variety of changes to the proteome quickly. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E provides a model system for such a strategy. Using a wide variety of methods ranging from NMR to clinical trials, we explore the utility and ramifications of targeting these pathways in the clinic by using a “bench to bedside and back" again approach.
