摘要:
p53-dependent Damage-Inducible Nuclear Protein 1 (p53DINP1 protein) is a p53-induced nuclear protein that induces p53-dependent apoptosis by regulating p53 function through Ser 46 phosphorylation. A DNA encoding p53DINP1 can be applied as anticancer agents for destroying neoplasms such as tumors, and as therapeutic or preventive agents for diseases associated with p53-mediated apoptosis abnormalities. It is also possible to apply the above protein and DNA in methods of screening for candidate compounds for regulating p53-mediated apoptosis.
摘要:
Compositions and objective methods for detecting, diagnosing, and treating breast cancer (BRC) are described herein. In particular, the present invention describes three BRC-associated genes, referred to herein as A5657, B9769, and C7965, up-regulated in BRC cells as compared to normal cells. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining the expression level of a BRC-associated gene that discriminates between BRC cells and normal cells; in an alternate embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining the expression level of a BRC-associated gene that discriminates among BRC cells, between DCIS cells and IDC cells. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of breast cancer, methods of treating breast cancer and methods for vaccinating a subject against breast cancer.
摘要:
Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC) are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determining an expression level of DGC-associated gene that discriminate between DGC and normal cell. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of DGC, methods of treating DGC and method of vaccinating a subject against DGC.
摘要:
Methods of detecting synovial sarcoma using differentially expressed genes are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of identifying agents for treating synovial sarcoma. Further, a method for treating or preventing a disease that is associated with Frizzled homologue 10 (FZD10) in a subject is provided.
摘要:
Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing prostate cancer (PRC) or prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determining an expression level of PRC-associated gene that discriminate between PRC or PIN and nomal cell. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of either or both of PRC and PIN, methods of treating either or both of PRC and PIN and method of vaccinating a subject against either or both of PRC and PIN.
摘要:
A novel adiponectin-like protein having therapeutic and/or preventive effects on arteriosclerosis and a gene encoding this protein are provided. A protein (a) comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID No:3 or a protein (b) comprising an amino acid sequence resulting from deletion, substitution or addition of amino acid(s) in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 and having an activity of inhibiting the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells or salts of these proteins; and a DNA encoding the above proteins are provided.

摘要:
The present invention provides novel physiologically active protein molecules originating in mammals, which are specifically expressed in arteriosclerosis and/or coronary restenosis, and are predicted to relate closely to the onset and progress of these diseases; DNAs encoding the protein molecules; antibodies reactive with the molecules; and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the above protein molecule or the antibody. The protein molecules, DNAs, and antibodies are useful for treating and preventing arteriosclerosis.
摘要:
Because the protein of the present invention has in its amino acid sequence a homology with, for example, ribonucleotide reductase, the protein of the present invention, its DNA, antibodies to these and the like are useful in the prevention, treatment and diagnosis, etc. of cancer.
摘要:
A human gene termed APC is disclosed. Methods and kits are provided for assessing mutations of the APC gene in human tissues and body samples. APC mutations are found in familial adenomatous polyposis patients as well as in sporadic colorectal cancer patients. APC is expressed in most normal tissues. These results suggest that APC is a tumor suppressor.
摘要:
A new human gene termed MCC is disclosed. Methods, primers, probes and kits are provided for assessing mutations of the MCC gene in human tissues and body samples. Gross rearrangement and point mutations in MCC are observed in human tumor cells. MCC is expressed in most normal tissues. These results suggest that MCC is a tumor suppressor.
