摘要:
The present invention provides methods for determining a prognosis of disease free or overall survival in a patient suffering from cancer. The methods generally involve determining a normalized expression level of an EMX2 gene product, which correlates with prognosis and likelihood of survival.
摘要:
This invention provides compositions, methods and kits for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers expressing a GLI polypeptide, and in particular a GLI1, GLI2 or GLI3 polypeptide. The invention provides small molecule compounds mimicking the transcriptional activation domain of a GLI polypeptide. The small molecule inhibitors of the invention specifically block the activator function of a GLI polypeptide, but not the repressor function of GLI3.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells that overexpress a Wnt protein. The methods comprise contacting the cell with an agent that inhibits binding of the Wnt protein to a Frizzled receptor.
摘要:
Novel compounds that have been found effective in inhibiting PDZ domain interactions, and particularly interactions of PDZ domains in MAGIs with the oncogenic (tumor suppressor) protein PTEN and interactions between the PDZ domain in the Dishevelled (Dvl) protein and other proteins such as the Frizzled (Fz) protein, have the general formula The invention also includes combinatorial libraries, arrays and methods for screening and studying proteins using such compounds.Compounds of the invention have produced apoptosis in certain cell lines that overexpress the Dishevelled protein (Dvl); inhibiting Wnt signaling.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for providing a prognosis for lung cancer using a panel of eleven molecular markers that includes BAG1, BRCA1, CDC6, CDK2AP1, ERBB3, FUT3, IL11, LCK, RND3, SH3BGR, and WNT3A, which are differentially expressed in lung cancer. The eleven markers are related to patient prognosis to 5-year overall survival outcomes, and are particularly useful in providing a prognosis for non-squamous NSCLC.

Novel compounds that have been found effective in inhibiting PDZ domain interactions, and particularly interactions of PDZ domains in MAGIs with the oncogenic (tumor suppressor) protein PTEN and interactions between the PDZ domain in the Dishevelled (Dvl) protein and other proteins such as the Frizzled (Fz) protein, have the general formula (I) or (III) The invention also includes combinatorial libraries, arrays and methods for screening and studying proteins using such compounds. Compounds of the invention have produced apoptosis in certain cell lines that overexpress the Dishevelled protein (Dvl), inhibiting Wnt signaling.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods of inhibiting the growth of cells, in particular cancer cells, that overexpress Wnt2. The methods comprise contacting the cell with an agent that binds to Wnt2 mRNA or Wnt2 protein, interferes with Wnt2 signaling or inhibits binding of the Wnt2 protein to another protein, such as a Frizzled receptor.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods of inhibiting the growth of cells, in particular cancer cells that over express Wnt16 protein. The methods comprise contacting the cell with an agent that binds to Wnt16 mRNA or Wnt16 protein, interferes with Wnt16 signaling or inhibits binding of the Wnt16 protein to another protein, such as a Frizzled receptor.
