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.

Objective methods for detecting or diagnosing cancer, or determining a predisposition for developing cancer, particularly lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, osteosarcoma, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumor, are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining an expression level of the SUV39H2 gene. The present invention further provides methods of screening for candidate substances useful in the treatment and/or prevention of an SUV39H2-associated cancer, such as lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, osteosarcoma, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumor. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting the cell growth and thereby treating or alleviating symptoms of an SUV39H2 associated cancer. The present invention also features double-stranded molecules against the SUV39H2 gene and vectors encoding thereof as well as compositions containing such components and their utility in connection with the treatment and prevention of an SUV39H2-associated cancer.

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.

Objective methods for diagnosing a predisposition to developing cancer, particularly bladder cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, pancreatic cancer and testicular cancer, are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining an expression level of PRMT1 gene. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of PRMT1 associated disease, such as a cancer, e.g. bladder cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, pancreatic cancer and testicular cancer. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting the cell growth and treating or alleviating symptoms of PRMT1 associated diseases. The present invention also features products, including double-stranded molecules and vectors encoding thereof as well as to compositions comprising them.
摘要:
The present invention arises from the discovery that the SMYD2 gene is both specifically over-expressed in cancer and involved in cancer cell survival. The present invention features methods for detecting or diagnosing the presence of or predisposition for developing cancer, using the SMYD2 gene as a diagnostic marker. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic substances useful in either or both of the treatment and prevention of cancer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the roles played by the JARID1B genes in cancers and features a method for treating cancers by administering a composition comprising a double-stranded molecule against the JARID1B genes or a vector encoding them. The present invention also features methods for diagnosing cancers by detecting the expression of JARID1B. To that end, JARID1B serves as a serological biomarker for cancers. Also, disclosed are methods of identifying candidate agents for treating or preventing cancer or inhibiting cancer cell growth, using the expression of JARID1B in the cancer cells or the cell proliferation resulted from expression of JARID1B as an index.
