摘要:
The invention provides a method for detection of a malignancy in a specimen of bodily fluid. The method comprises contacting the specimen with at least two antigens selected from the group consisting of p53, IGFBP2, Topo2α, cathepsin D, cyclin B, cyclin D1, MUC1, HER-2/neu and CEA. The method further comprises incubating the specimen and the antigen for a duration and under conditions that are sufficient for the formation of immunocomplexes; and detecting the presence or absence of immunocomplex formation between the antigens and antibodies specific for the antigens in the specimen, thereby determining the presence or absence of the malignancy. Also provided is a method for monitoring the effectiveness of cancer therapy related to a malignancy in a warm-blooded animal, a method for distinguishing between Stage I and Stage II colorectal cancer in a specimen of bodily fluid.
摘要:
p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) is a biomarker associated with islet cell health. If PUMA is low, islet cells are typically healthy. If PUMA is high, islet cells are typically unhealthy or dying. PUMA may be measured by either measuring its nucleic or amino acid. PUMA mRNA may be induced by TNF-α stimulation in a time- and dose-dependent manner and β cell apoptosis is induced through a mitochondrial pathway. TNF-α significantly inhibited glucose-induced preproinsulin precursor mRNA synthesis. Such β cell stress signaling in human islets indicates overall state of islet health and, ultimately, the risk of onset and/or degree of severity of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

摘要:
Screening methods for determining pro-apoptotic compounds or anti-apoptotic compounds comprise measuring the interaction between p53 and NEDL1 in the presence and in the absence of a test compound, and comparing the strength of interaction between p53 and NEDL1 in the presence and in the absence of the test compound.
摘要:
Methods of screening for modulators of TRIM24 (also known as TIF1-ALPHA) expression and/or biological activity are described. In particular, methods of screening of screening for modulators of TRIM24 E3 ligase activity, and specifically an E3 ligase activity directed at p53 as the target polypeptide are also described. Modulators of TRIM24 expression and activity are provided and their use in treatment of cancer, particularly in breast, colon, prostate, renal cancers and in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Suitable modulators of TRIM24 expression include siRNA and shRNA and can be used in the treatment of cancer and for targeting cancer stem cells.
摘要:
The use and screening of modulators of apoptosis is disclosed. The modulators may be, for example, modulator of NF-κB activity. The modulators may be used, for example, in the treatment of NF-κB-mediated diseases, conditions, and injuries.

摘要:
The invention relates to an anti-human p53 antibody suitable for specifically binding a linear epitope which is exposed only in a conformationally altered isoform of the characteristic p53 protein of patients with Alzheimer's disease or prone to develop Alzheimer's disease or cognitive impairment during ageing. Methods and diagnostic and prognostic kits are also described.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the field of antibody detection, and in particular relates to methods involving the detection of autoantibodies relating to lung cancer in a sample comprising patient bodily fluid. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of detecting lung cancer in a mammalian subject by detecting three or more autoantibodies in a test sample, wherein three of the autoantibodies are immunologically specific for the tumour marker antigens p53, SSX1, and either p62 or KOC. The invention also relates to in vitro methods of determining an autoantibody profile, methods of diagnosing and treating lung cancer, methods of predicting response to a lung cancer treatment, use of a panel of three or more tumour marker antigens for the detection of lung cancer, and kits for the detection of autoantibodies.
摘要:
Heritable mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 and other genes in the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway increase risk of breast, ovarian and other cancers. In response to DNA breaks, the proteins encoded by these genes bind to each other and are transported into the nucleus to form nuclear foci and initiate homologous recombination. Flow cytometry-based functional variant analyses (FVAs) were developed to determine whether variants in BRCA1 or other DSB repair genes disrupted the binding of BRCA1 to its protein partners, the phosphorylation of p53 or the transport of the BRCA1 complex to the nucleus in response to DNA damage. Each of these assays distinguished high-risk BRCA1 mutations from low-risk BRCA1 controls. Mutations in other DSB repair pathway genes produced molecular phenocopies with these assays. FVA assays may represent an adjunct to sequencing for categorizing VUS or may represent a stand-alone measure for assessing breast cancer risk.
