ZNF274 constrains lineage plasticity and drives intrinsic resistance to CDK7 inhibitors in pancreatic cancer

Abstract Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by two distinct transcriptional subtypes: classical and basal, which may interconvert. We show the KRAB-ZNF protein, ZNF274, correlates with PDAC subtype and regulates sensitivity to CDK7 inhibition by facilitating heterochromatin maintenance and gene suppression. We find ZNF274 loss drives a classical to basal transition, induces invasive protrusions and facilitates invasion capacity.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Writing for my college paper that got me published in The Sporting News and The Tulsa World for my experiences playing small college football

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Of course. That's where my writing career began as a 16 year old in rural Oklahoma. Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson would have been proud.

How is social media changing news?

Less depth, more soundbite (as if it was possible).
