    摘要: Objective methods for diagnosing a predisposition to developing cancer, for example, bladder cancer, breast cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, CML, esophageal cancer, HCC, NSCLC, SCLC, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, soft tissue tumor and lymphoma, are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining an expression level of a WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 gene. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 associated disease, such as a cancer, e.g., bladder cancer, breast cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, CML, esophageal cancer, HCC, NSCLC, SCLC, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, soft tissue tumor and lymphoma. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting the cell growth and treating or alleviating symptoms of WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 associated diseases. The present invention also features products, including double-stranded molecules and vectors encoding thereof as well as to compositions including them. Also, disclosed are methods of identifying substances for treating or/and preventing lung cancer, using as an index their effect on expression of a WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 gene, or a biological activity of a WHSC1 or WHSC1L1 polypeptide.

    摘要: Isolated peptides derived from SEQ ID NO: 50 and fragments thereof that bind to an HLA antigen and induce cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and thus are suitable for use in the context of cancer immunotherapy, more particularly cancer vaccines are described herein. The inventive peptides encompasses both the above mentioned amino acid sequences and modified versions thereof, in which one, two, or several amino acids sequences substituted, deleted, added or inserted, provided such modified versions retain the requisite cytotoxic T cell inducibility of the original sequence. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding any of the aforementioned peptides as well as pharmaceutical agents, substances and/or compositions that include or incorporate any of the aforementioned peptides or nucleic acids. The peptides, nucleic acids, pharmaceutical agents, substances and compositions of this invention find particular utility in the treatment of cancers and tumors, including, for example, AML, bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, CML, colorectal cancer, esophagus cancer, Diffused-type gastric cancer, liver cancer, NSCLC, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal carcinoma, SCLC, soft tissue tumor and testicular tumor.

    摘要: The present application provides novel human genes RNF43 whose expression is markedly elevated in colorectal cancers, as well as CXADRL1 and GCUD1 whose expression is markedly elevated in gastric cancers compared to corresponding non-cancerous tissues. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of a cell proliferative disease, and as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease.

    摘要: In order to identify the molecules involved in esophageal carcinogenesis and those to be useful for diagnostic markers as well as targets for new drugs and immunotherapy, a cDNA microarray representing 32,256 genes was constructed to analyze the expression profiles of 19 esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas (ESCCS) purified by laser-capture microdissection. A detailed genome-wide database for sets of genes that are significantly up- or down-regulated in esophageal cancer is disclosed herein. These genes find use in the development of therapeutic drugs or immunotherapy as well as tumor markers. Additionally, genes associated with lymph-node metastasis and post-surgery recurrence are disclosed herein. Among the candidate molecular target genes, ECT2, CDC45L and DKK1 are further characterized. Treatment of ESCC cells with small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of ECT2 or CDC45L suppressed growth of the cancer cells. Thus, the data herein provide valuable information for identifying diagnostic systems and therapeutic target molecules for esophageal cancer.
