Abstract:
This application describes methods and compositions for detecting and treating vimentin-associated neoplasia. Differential methylation of the vimentin nucleotide sequences has been observed in vimentin-associated neoplasia such as colon neoplasia.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides, among other things, a method of decreasing resistance to the chemopreventive properties of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, e.g., celecoxib, particularly in the prevention of cancer, e.g., colon cancer, by increasing the levels or activity of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH). The disclosure also provides a method of identifying compounds that upregulate or reactivate 15-PGDH. The disclosure also provides a method of identifying an individual suitable for treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment or prevention of colon cancer.
Abstract:
This application describes methods and compositions for detecting and treating vimentin-associated neoplasia. Differential methylation of the vimentin nucleotide sequences has been observed in vimentin-associated neoplasia such as neoplasia of the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and/or bladder.

Abstract:
In certain aspects, the invention provides isolated SLC5A8 (also referred to as Hui1) nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel sodium solute symporter members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing SLC5A8 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a SLC5A8 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated SLC5A8 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides, and anti-SLC5A8 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided. In other aspects, the invention provides methods and compositions for detecting and treating SLC5A8-associated cancer. Differential methylation of the SLC5A8 nucleotide sequences has been observed in SLC5A8-associated cancer, such as colon cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, or stomach cancer.
Abstract:
This application describes methods and compositions for detecting and treating HLTF-associated neoplasia. Differential methylation of the HLTF nucleotide sequences has been observed in HLTF-associated neoplasia such as colon neoplasia.
Abstract:
This application describes methods and compositions for detecting and treating C6Orf150-associated neoplasia. Differential methylation of the C6Orf150 nucleotide sequences has been observed in C6Orf150-associated neoplasia such as colon neoplasia.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods and compositions for inhibiting immune responses. The disclosure also provides methods and compositions for inhibiting graft rejection and promoting or prolonging graft survival.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides, among other things, molecular markers for categorizing the neoplastic state of a patient, methods for using the molecular markers in diagnostic tests, nucleic acid and amino acid sequences related to the molecular markers, reagents for detection of molecular markers, and methods for identifying candidate molecular markers in highly parallel gene expression data.
