摘要:
The invention features methods for detecting prostate cancer, especially hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) or castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), by detecting over-expression of PKIB or NAALADL2 compared the normal organs. Also disclosed are methods of identifying compounds for treating and preventing prostate cancer including HRPC, based on the over-expression of PKIB or NAALADL2 in the prostate cancer, the cell proliferation function of PKIB or NAALADL2, the intracellular localization of PKIB or NAALADL2 or the interaction between PKIB and PKA-C. Also, provided are a method for treating prostate cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against the PKIB or NAALADL2 gene. The invention also provides products, including the double-stranded molecules and vectors encoding them, as well as compositions comprising the molecules or vectors, useful in the provided methods.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for inhibiting growth of a cancer cell, particularly a renal cell carcinoma, by contacting the cell with a composition composed of an HIG2 siRNA or HIG2 antibody. Methods of diagnosing renal cell cancer are also provided within the present invention.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method for determining a kinase activity of ERK for CDCA5 and methods of screening for modulators of this kinase activity. Also disclosed are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for preventing and/or treating lung cancer or esophageal cancer that use or include such modulators.
摘要:
The invention features methods for detecting lung cancer or esophageal cancer, by detecting over-expression of ECT2 compared the normal organs. Also disclosed are methods of identifying compounds for treating and preventing lung cancer or esophageal cancer, based on the over-expression of ECT2 in the lung cancer or esophageal cancer, the cell proliferation function of ECT2. Also, provided are a method for treating lung cancer or esophageal cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against the ECT2 gene or an antibody against ECT2 protein. The invention also provides products, including the double-stranded molecules and vectors encoding them, as well as compositions comprising the molecules or vectors, useful in the provided methods.
摘要:
The present application provides novel human gene ELOVL7 whose expression is markedly elevated in prostate cancers. The gene and polypeptide encoded by the gene can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of prostate cancers, as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease, and for attenuating cell growth of prostate cancer.
摘要:
The present invention is based on the observation that the co-activation of CDCA1 and KNTC2, and their cognate interactions, play significant roles in lung-cancer progression and that methods of inhibiting the complex can be used to treat non-small-cell lung cancer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the roles played by TTLL4 genes in pancreatic cancer carcinogenesis and features a method for treating or preventing pancreatic cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against one or more of the TTLL4 genes or a composition, vector or cell containing such a double stranded molecule. Also, disclosed are methods of identifying compounds for treating and preventing pancreatic cancer, using as an index their effect on the over-expression of TTLL4 in the pancreatic cancer cell.
摘要:
There is provided a shift control apparatus of an automatic transmission in a vehicle including a constant speed traveling apparatus, which has a detecting device detecting a surrounding situation of the vehicle and operates according to the detected situation, and an automatic transmission capable of steplessly changing a transmission ratio, the shift control apparatus controlling the automatic transmission according to a shift map for changing the transmission ratio according to a traveling state. The shift control apparatus includes a plurality of shift maps, and a switching and selecting unit selecting and switching to one of the shift maps based on a shift-down request signal or a requested acceleration, which is outputted by a constant speed traveling control device of the constant speed traveling apparatus, according to the situation detected by the detecting device.
摘要:
The present application provides novel human genes C1958V1 or C1958V2 whose expression is markedly elevated in pancreatic cancers compared to corresponding non-cancerous tissues. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease.
摘要:
A photographing apparatus includes the following elements. A photographing unit photographs an object. A position detecting unit detects the position of the photographing apparatus. A direction detecting unit detects the direction of the photographing apparatus when the object is photographed. An angle-of-view detecting unit detects the angle of view of the photographed image. A recommended-composition information obtaining unit obtains recommended-composition information including a recommended angle of view of the image photographed at the detected position and a recommended direction. An angle-of-view comparing unit compares the detected angle of view with the recommended angle of view. An angle-of-view adjusting unit adjusts the angle of view in accordance with the result of the comparison. A direction comparing unit compares the detected direction with the recommended direction. A presenting unit presents, in accordance with the result of the comparison, direction-change instruction information for instructing the direction of the photographing apparatus to be changed.
