The ATM gene is a target for epigenetic silencing in locally advanced breast cancer

QN Vo, WJ Kim, L Cvitanovic, DA Boudreau… - Oncogene, 2004 - nature.com
Several epidemiological studies on ataxia–telangiectasia families indicate that obligate ATM
heterozygotes display an elevated risk for developing breast cancer. However, a molecular …

How μ-opioid receptor recognizes fentanyl

QN Vo, P Mahinthichaichan, J Shen, CR Ellis - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Roughly half of the drug overdose-related deaths in the United States are related to synthetic
opioids represented by fentanyl which is a potent agonist of mu-opioid receptor (mOR). In …

Ataxia-Telangiectasia-Mutated (ATM) Gene in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Promoter Hypermethylation with Clinical Correlation in 100 Cases

L Ai, QN Vo, C Zuo, L Li, W Ling, JY Suen… - Cancer Epidemiology …, 2004 - aacrjournals.org
The Ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) gene product is a well-characterized tumor suppressor

Aberrant methylation of the ATM promoter correlates with increased radiosensitivity in a human colorectal tumor cell line

W Kim, QN Vo, M Shrivastav, TA Lataxes, KD Brown - Oncogene, 2002 - nature.com
Recent findings suggest that DNA alkylating agents trigger cellular responses that overlap
those activated after ionizing radiation. Moreover, activation of these responses is dependent …

Kinetics and mechanism of fentanyl dissociation from the μ-opioid receptor

P Mahinthichaichan, QN Vo, CR Ellis, J Shen - JACS Au, 2021 - ACS Publications
Driven by illicit fentanyl, opioid related deaths have reached the highest level in 2020.
Currently, an opioid overdose is resuscitated by the use of naloxone, which competitively binds …

The ATM/p53 pathway is commonly targeted for inactivation in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) by multiple molecular mechanisms

J Bolt, QN Vo, WJ Kim, AJ McWhorter, J Thomson… - Oral oncology, 2005 - Elsevier
