Rheb's Role In Cancer

�
Two independent papers in the August 15th number of G&D identify the Rheb GTPase as a novel transforming gene and a promising newfangled chemotherapeutic target.

The first paper, from Dr. Pier Paolo Pandolfi (BIDMC and Harvard Medical School) and colleagues, demonstrates that the Ras-like small GTPase, Rheb, is directly involved in prostate tumorigenesis.

Through the overexpression of Rheb specifically in prostate gland tissue of live mice, the researchers were able-bodied to establish that increased Rheb signal activity is sufficient to induce low-grade prostate neoplasias. Furthermore, in combination with decreased PTEN activity, Rheb overexpression keister stimulate belligerent prostate tumor formation.

"The identification of Rheb as a gene involved in the pathogenesis of cancer opens new avenues for the development of anti-cancer therapies, as Rheb is an inherently 'druggable' target. Indeed, we ar already testing such drugs alone, and in combination with other chemotherapeutics in faithful animate being models," explains Dr. Pandolfi.

In the attendant paper, Dr. Hans-Guido Wendel (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) and colleagues stage evidence that Rheb can also function as an oncogene in lymphomagenesis.

Using an experimental beast model of human lymphoma, the researchers demonstrated that Rheb overexpression contributes to lymphoma formation. They as well pinpointed Rheb overexpression as a course occurring hereditary mutation in human patient-derived lymphoma tumor samples. In addition, Dr. Wendel and colleagues establish that the targeted inhibition of Rheb can efficaciously counteract tumor progression in lymphomas with this unique genetic signature.

Dr. Wendel emphasizes that "The key clinical implication is that Rheb levels in tumor tissue could designate patients that will benefit from relatively non-toxic therapies with targeted drugs like rapamyicn or inhibitors of the farnesyltransferase enzyme."

Farrell replacing Ledger in movie?

It has been reported that Colin Farrell is one of a trio of stars who will replace the late Heath Ledger in his final film 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'.
The film website Ain't It Cool News is reporting that Farrell, Johnny Depp and Jude Law will all play the character played by Ledger in scenes not yet shot for the Terry Gilliam-fantasy.
In the film Ledger's character falls through a mirror on four separate occasions and changes his appearance.
'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' tells the story of a travelling show which offers its audience the opportunity to choose between light and dark.

Flying Lotus, Los Angeles

Along with the rising profiles of both Scottish producer Rustie and fellow Warp artist Harmonic 313, FlyLo's migration to the Sheffield label for his first full-length release indicates that this strain of instrumental, broken hip hop is whetting aural appetites. Steven Ellison's hometown provides the impetus for a narrative of city life where off-kilter beats, cloaked in ambience, set the soundscape. His is an L.A that threatens; the ominous, static fog of opener Brainfeeder seduces, while Roberta Flack is just sublime.

Where David Holmes' Bow Down To The Exit Sign packed a visceral, urban punch through spoken monologues from corner street dwellers, Ellison's eschewing of M.Cs smacks of confidence. Without lyrical clutter the imagined city is as much the listener's creation as the artist's, a trick that perhaps betrays Ellison's jazz lineage (his aunt is Alice Coltrane).

Prefuse 73's shadow looms large over the wonderfully-monikered Beginners Falafel and the crunchy edits of Camel. That aside, Ellison's deftness of touch, matched with the application of ethereal backdrops that recall EL P's stone cold work with Cannibal Ox, ensure this street storyboard intensifies with each listen. The rabbit-warren, rhythmic freefall of Riot, for example, baits the listener to grapple with its organised chaos.

Tilts of the cap to mainstream hip hop come with a weighty and satisfying abstraction. Melt lifts the drum pattern from Ludacris' Stand Up, treating it to an echo-chamber rework, while the forward-leaning GNG BNG rolls off the back of eighties drum pads before touching hyphy, bollywood and finally a Shadow-esque drum break.

Underpinned by a woozily plucked double bass and a heavenly female vocal, penultimate track Testament echoes most Ellison's sound on 2006's Reset E.P. The analogue bubble bath of swansong Auntie's Lock is a final, brazen challenge to resist this record's charms.

DVD Reviews - June 3

Semi-Pro: Let�s Get Sweat Edition
Alliance DVD
*** 1/2 (out of five)

The �70s is a gift that keeps on giving for Will Ferrell, a comic Narnia to which the comedian seems destined to keep returning to for inspiration. With Semi-Pro, Ferrell and director Kent Alterman baste the underdog sports picture in thick coating of the �70s, a not altogether pleasurable marinade that refers liberally to ugly clothes, creepy sex, nasty drugs and the last guiltless public embrace of drinking and smoking.

Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, an indifferently talented musician who, in true �70s style, made a fortune off a one hit wonder, and used the earnings to make himself an owner, coach and player of an American Basketball Association franchise team based out of his hometown of Flint, Michigan, a luckless, last-place outfit better known for its flamboyant promotions than scoring.

He thinks his dreams have come true when the league merges with the NBA, but the catch is that only the top four teams will make it, so he trades the team�s washing machine for the only player willing to come to Flint and try to give the team a shot at coveted fourth place, a washed up bench jockey played by Woody Harrelson.

The film is typical Ferrell, at its best during a couple of ensemble set pieces and when the star gives full reign to his love of humiliation, but it�s motivated by an obvious love for the flashy, dopey antics of the ABA, with its red, white and blue ball and high-scoring play. In a bonus feature devoted to the long-gone league, we learn how much the modern NBA owes to its dirty little brother, and how much of the ABA�s shameless style was absorbed into the basketball mainstream, from half-time court shows to slam-dunking.

Meet The Spartans
20th Century Fox DVD
** (out of five)

For those of us who loved Mad magazine in its �70s heyday, it�s nice to see that its classic movie parodies are being immortalized with movies like Meet The Spartans. Even if you loved 300, the frame-by-frame recreation of Frank Miller�s comic book, it�s hard not to laugh at the wildly obvious gags trotted out here, from the glaring homoeroticism to the eye-popping acting style employed by everyone from Gerard Butler on down.

Unfortunately, there are too many groan-inducing gags, like the inevitable and threadbare shot at Paris Hilton, and a long scene involving the bottomless pit of death is only intermittently cathartic pop culture purging. The virtue of Mad�s movie parodies, however, is that they were short; even with several re-readings to savour the better gags, they could be consumed during the course of the average weekend drive to your grandparents� house, and never wore out their welcome as relentlessly as a film like Meet The Spartans.

Rescue Me
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment DVD
*** 1/2 (out of five)

The second season of Rescue Me was roundly considered a disappointment by critics and fans mostly because it was more comic and less brutal than the previous three, whose appeal � for its largely male fans � was the way each season relentlessly put the screws to Denis Leary�s Tommy Gavin, easing off only as much as was necessary with subplots involving the rest of Gavin�s New York firehouse crew.

Season four reversed the trend, making comic sport of Tommy�s life while ramping up the tragedy in the crew�s, most notably Chief Reilly, whose midseason exit is still regarded with dismay, both among fans and the show�s cast. The major exception to the influx of tragedy is John Scurti�s Lou, whose affair with a nymphomaniac ex-nun still feels like the punchline to a bad joke every time it pops up. After staying off the juice for the whole of the season, it ends with a death that will probably signal Tommy�s fall off the wagon for season five, a likelihood that gets offhandedly confirmed by producer Peter Tolan in one of the bonus features.

Vince Vaughn�s Wild West Comedy Show
Alliance DVD
**** (out of five)

Much of this record of a 30-day cross country comedy tour hangs on the lightly acerbic affability of host and organizer Vince Vaughn. It takes a while for the personalities of the four struggling young stand-up comics featured in the film to emerge amidst all of the business of the bus travel, the grueling schedule, and the comic improve routines Vaughn cooks up to fill out the show � bits featuring producer Peter Billingsley, Vaughn pal Jon Favreau, country singer Dwight Yoakam and Justin �the Apple guy� Long.

It�s no surprise that comedians are often anything but funny offstage, and this film proves the truism amply. Insecure, depressed and often scared, the quartet of comedians reveal a whole world of stress and pain that fuels the gags, from Sebastian Maniscalco�s anxiety about his ability to make a living from the business, to John Caparulo�s barely-concealed hostility to the world, to the poverty and death in Bret Ernst�s family background. By comparison, Ahmed Ahmed�s material � the indignities of being Muslim in America post-9/11 � seem rather underpowered.

City Slickers
MGM DVD
*** 1/2 (out of five)

For a comedy, City Slickers begins from a very unhappy place, specifically the emotional doldrums of the male midlife crisis, which is played for far fewer laughs than the film�s premise would suggest. It�s amazing to think that Crystal made the film just two years after When Harry Met Sally, the film that turned him briefly into an unconventional but successful leading man. It�s hard not to look at City Slickers as that film�s true sequel � a picture of what Harry would be like after a few years� marriage to Sally, struck with the realization that life�s big adventures were truly behind him.

This grim but very real tone sustains itself all the way through the picture, which has its sentimental moments, though it has to be remembered that this is the film where, a moment after what�s probably the pivotal experience in Crystal�s character�s turning the corner on his emotional malaise � his assistance in the birth of a calf � Jack Palance�s Curly shoots the baby�s mother when the delivery goes bad. Neither funny ha-ha nor funny sad, it makes you wonder what the Rolling Stone reviewer was thinking when he called it a �rowdy western jokefest.�

While hip-hop prides itself on being the soundtrack to the streets, Field Mob have done their topper to represent the rural area. Boondox (aka Smoke) and Kalage (aka Shawn Jay) hail from Albany, GA, a small town outside Atlanta that is best-known as the birthplace of soulfulness fable Ray Charles. The couple chose the diagnose Field Mob to represent the Field, a small area of Albany where they grew up. The deuce met in high schoolhouse later on Boondox saw Kalage freestyling in the schooltime court. Boondox challenged him to a battle the future day, and they decided to become partners after. The duet landed a deal with a small main record book label and recorded their first individual, which caught the attention of MCA. MCA quickly signed them to a deal, and in 2000, they released their number one record album, 613: Ashy to Classy. Despite their geezerhood and lack of get, 613: Ashy to Classy was a polished try that featured cagy lyrics and self-coloured yield. The same can be said for From tha Roota to tha Toota, the 2002 followup that showed the Georgia natives collaborating with Trick Daddy and moving closer to the OutKast-esque yield work they hinted at on their debut. The couple of youngsters has shown that they can contend with the best hip-hop has to provide, and they've through it spell eating away their land roots with superbia.

Jennifer Aniston's hair 'most envied' by women

Women envy Jennifer Aniston's hair more than any other celebrity, according to a recent survey.
In a poll of 1,600 people commissioned by Hair magazine, it was found that Aniston's hair is the most coveted followed by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cat Deeley, Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Imbruglia, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone and Sienna Miller.
The survey also named 'the bob' - as popularised by Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes - as the "most iconic haircut" of all time.
The hairstyle, originally associated with Sixties stars such as Mary Quant and Twiggy, beat Aniston's sleek, long Friends cut in the survey.
Her hairdo sparked the biggest hair craze of the Nineties as women flocked to salons to ask for 'a Rachel'.
The Amy Winehouse-style Sixties beehive was third, followed by the 1970s Farrah Fawcett feathered number, as recently imitated by Madonna.
Mia Farrow's ultra-short 'Rosemary's Baby' crop was fifth in the online poll, commissioned by Hair magazine, followed by the heavy fringe worn to the side that Lady Diana Spencer sported when she announced her engagement to the Prince of Wales.
Joanna Lumley's 'Purdey bob' from her period in 'The New Avengers' was seventh.
