    摘要: The present invention provides for the purposeful utilisation of the induction of senescence in eukaryotic cells for induction of an antigen specific immune response. Such cells can be normal cells, pre-malignant and malignant cells as well as virally or bacterially infected cells, for the generation of an immune response, preferably a cellular or humoral immune response comprising T-cells and/or B-cells, whose immune response is directed specifically against antigens from those cells in which senescence was induced and then comprises an immune response against the senescent cells itself as well as to the non-senescent counterparts harbouring the same antigens.

    摘要: This invention provides a genetically tractable in situ non-human animal model for hepatocellular carcinoma. The model is useful, inter alia, in understanding the molecular mechanisms of liver cancer, in understanding the genetic alterations that lead to chemoresistance or poor prognosis, and in identifying and evaluating new therapies against hepatocellular carcinomas. The liver cancer model of this invention is made by altering hepatocytes to increase oncogene expression, to reduce tumor suppressor gene expression or both and by transplanting the resulting hepatocytes into a recipient non-human animal.This invention also relates to the use of RNA interference (RNAi) technology in vivo to efficiently identify genes associated with liver cancer, in particular those encoding tumor suppressors, by knocking out candidate genes using RNAi and observing whether tumors would develop.

    摘要: Fibrosis arises as part of a wound healing response that maintains organ integrity following catastrophic tissue damage, but can also contribute to a variety of human pathologies, including liver cirrhosis. The invention demonstrates that cellular senescence acts to limit the fibrogenic response to tissue damage, thereby establishing a role for the senescence program in pathophysiological settings beyond cancer. Accordingly, the methods of the invention relate to modulating cellular senescence in disease tissue that have elevated numbers of senescent cells, such as in fibrotic tissues.

    摘要: In some aspects, the invention provides a genetically tractable in situ non-human animal model for hepatocellular carcinoma. The model is useful, inter alia, in understanding the molecular mechanisms of liver cancer, in understanding the genetic alterations that lead to chemoresistance or poor prognosis, and in identifying and evaluating new therapies against hepatocellular carcinomas. The liver cancer model of this invention is made by altering hepatocytes to increase oncogene expression, to reduce tumor suppressor gene expression or both and by transplanting the resulting hepatocytes into a recipient non-human animal.The present invention also provides methods for identifying and validating tumor suppressor genes by screening pools of shRNAs that target genomic regions deleted in human cancers, such as human hepatocellular carcinomas. The present invention also provides validated tumor suppressor genes, and methods of inhibiting cell proliferation and/or tumor growth, for example by expression of such tumor suppressor genes.
