摘要:
The present invention relates to the roles played by the SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 genes in carcinogenesis and features a method for treating or preventing cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against the SUV420H1 or SUV420H2 gene or a composition or vector containing such a double-stranded molecule. The present invention also features methods and kits for detecting or diagnosing cancer in a subject, including detecting an expression level of the SUV420H1 or SUV420H2 gene. The present invention further features methods and kits for assessing or determining the prognosis of a subject with cancer, including detecting the expression level of an SUV420H2 gene. Also, disclosed are methods of screening for candidate substances for treating or preventing cancer or inhibiting cancer cell growth, using as an index their effect on the expression or activity of SUV420H1 or SUV420H2.

摘要:
Objective methods for diagnosing a predisposition to developing cancer, for example, bladder cancer, breast cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, CML, esophageal cancer, HCC, NSCLC, SCLC, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, soft tissue tumor and lymphoma, are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining an expression level of a WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 gene. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 associated disease, such as a cancer, e.g., bladder cancer, breast cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, CML, esophageal cancer, HCC, NSCLC, SCLC, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, soft tissue tumor and lymphoma. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting the cell growth and treating or alleviating symptoms of WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 associated diseases. The present invention also features products, including double-stranded molecules and vectors encoding thereof as well as to compositions including them. Also, disclosed are methods of identifying substances for treating or/and preventing lung cancer, using as an index their effect on expression of a WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 gene, or a biological activity of a WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 polypeptide.
摘要:
Isolated peptides derived from SEQ ID NO: 50 and fragments thereof that bind to an HLA antigen and induce cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and thus are suitable for use in the context of cancer immunotherapy, more particularly cancer vaccines are described herein. The inventive peptides encompasses both the above mentioned amino acid sequences and modified versions thereof, in which one, two, or several amino acids sequences substituted, deleted, added or inserted, provided such modified versions retain the requisite cytotoxic T cell inducibility of the original sequence. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding any of the aforementioned peptides as well as pharmaceutical agents, substances and/or compositions that include or incorporate any of the aforementioned peptides or nucleic acids. The peptides, nucleic acids, pharmaceutical agents, substances and compositions of this invention find particular utility in the treatment of cancers and tumors, including, for example, AML, bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, CML, colorectal cancer, esophagus cancer, Diffused-type gastric cancer, liver cancer, NSCLC, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal carcinoma, SCLC, soft tissue tumor and testicular tumor.

摘要:
Isolated peptides composed of the amino acid sequence of the modified MELK epitope peptide or immunologically active fragments thereof that bind to HLA antigens and have higher cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) inducibility than that of the wild type MELK epitope peptide and thus are suitable for use in the context of cancer immunotherapy or endometriosis immunotherapy, more particularly cancer or endometriosis vaccines are described herein. The present invention further provides peptides that include one, two, or several amino acid insertions, substitutions or additions to the aforementioned peptides or fragments, but yet retain the requisite cytotoxic T cell inducibility. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding any of these aforementioned peptides as well as pharmaceutical substances and compositions including any of the aforementioned peptides or nucleic acids. The peptides, nucleic acids, pharmaceutical substances and compositions of this invention find particular utility in the treatment of cancers, tumors, and endometriosis.
