Our study highlights the utility of our long-read sequencing-based RNA liquid biopsy approach for discovering and targeting early stages of disease with molecular precision.

Through our LOCATE-seq RNA liquid biopsy platform technology, we also discovered potential therapeutic targets, including metabolic, signaling, and immune checkpoint pathways, that are highly upregulated in both precancer and cancer patients.

Using these novel, unannotated cell-free RNAs, we built a custom transcriptome reference for quantification, feature selection, and machine learning to accurately classify both precancerous Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia and early-stage esophageal adenocarcinoma.

We leveraged the power of single-molecule, long-read sequencing of cell-free RNA using Oxford Nanopore Technologies' PromethION platform @nanoporetech.com to discover over 270,000 novel, intergenic cell-free RNAs.

Happy to share our new work with @haognguyen on targeting mRNA translation of oncogenes by RNA structure remodeling with a small molecule zotatifin. Congrats to ⁦@DuyguKuzuoglu⁩ an amazing postdoc and all the authors and collaborators! cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…

Small-molecule RNA therapeutics to target prostate cancer
Kuzuoglu-Ozturk et al. showcase a therapeutic approach, “translatome therapy,” to combat lethal prostate cancer. Zotatifin, a clinical molecule, targets the RNA-helicase eIF4A. Zotatifin decreases the select translation of key oncogenes, androgen receptor (AR), and HIF1α through remodeling their 5′ UTR RNA structure. Zotatifin enhances anti-androgen and radiotherapy sensitivity, highlighting a promising anti-cancer treatment.
