摘要:
The invention provides compositions comprising fragments of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) which can lead to telomere dysfunction in a cell and reduction of growth and tumorigenicity in cancer cells. The invention also relates to uses of the fragments in the treatment of cancer and in drug discovery.
摘要:
This invention provides two novel vectors, a vector comprising a rAAV-type 2 plasmid encoding mutant survivin (Cys84Ala), and a vector comprising a rAAV-type 2 plasmid encoding eGFP. This invention also provides compositions comprising the above vectors. This invention provides a method for inducing apoptosis in a cell comprising introducing into the cell the vector comprising a rAAV-type 2 plasmid encoding mutant survivin (Cys84Ala), or a composition thereof. This invention further provides a method for inhibiting tumor cell growth comprising introducing into the tumor cell the vector comprising a rAAV-type 2 plasmid encoding mutant survivin (Cys84Ala), or a composition thereof. Finally, this invention provides a method of treating a subject having colon cancer comprising administering to the subject a suitable amount of the vector comprising a rAAV-type 2 plasmid encoding mutant survivin (Cys84Ala) in a composition.
