    摘要: The compositions and methods of the present invention are based, in part, on a gene designated prostate leucine zipper (PrLZ) and the sequences that mediate its expression. The presence of the leucine zipper indicates that PrLZ encodes a protein that interacts with other proteins. Methods to inhibit the activity of PrLZ by identifying and inhibiting the interaction between PrLZ and such binding partners are within the scope of the invention, as are methods of inhibiting PrLZ in other ways (by, for example, inhibiting its expression with antisense molecules or siRNAs or inhibiting its activity with, for example, anti-PrLZ antibodies). Such inhibition is useful in the treatment of cancers or dysplasias affecting PrLZ-positive tissues, such as those in the prostate.

    摘要: A method for interfering with osteomimetic properties of a cell includes introducing into the cell an osteomimecry-interfering compound, wherein said osteomimecry-interfering compound prevents or ameliorates the expression of the osteomimetic properties of said cell. A method for treating or ameliorating an osteotropic-related cancer or disorder in a subject includes administering to the subject an osteomimecry interfering compound. A method for identifying a compound that modulates the osteomimetic potential of a cell includes contacting a cell exhibiting osteomimetic potential with a test compound; measuring expression levels of one or more osteomimetic gene products in the cell in the presence and in the absence of the test compound; and identifying a compound that modulates the osteomimetic potential, wherein the compound changes the expression levels of one or more osteomimetic gene products in the cell.

    摘要: A therapeutic agent based on a recombinant adenovirus which employs an osteocalcin promoter for the expression of thymidine kinase can be administered intravascularly to treat metastatic cancer, including osteosarcoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ocular melanoma or brain cancer. Systemic administration of this agent provides a preferred route over previous disclosure of local direct administration. The same therapeutic agent can be effectively employed in the treatment of benign conditions, including benign prostatic hypertrophy and arteriosclerosis.

    摘要: The role of tumor cell-host stromal interaction and stromal-specific growth factors in prostate cancer growth, progression and metastasis to the axial skeleton were investigated. Following co-inoculation of athymic mice with human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) and various nontumorigenic fibroblasts, human prostate-like tumor formation was consistently induced by human bone (MS) fibroblasts (62%), embryonic rat urogenital sinus mesenchymal (rUGM) cells (31%) and Noble rat prostatic fibroblasts (17%), but not by NIH-3T3, normal rat kidney (NRK), or human lung CCD16 fibroblasts. Carcinomas formed preferentially in male hosts, demonstrating in vivo androgen sensitivity. A novel in vivo method in which a slowly adsorbed matrix (Gelfoam) was employed to deliver concentrated prostate and bone fibroblast-derived conditioned media was also found to induce LNCaP tumor formation in vivo. Such in vivo growth-promoting effects correlated with in vitro tests employing a soft agar colony-forming assay using rat prostate epithelial (NbE-1) cells as targets. A substantially purified human growth factor preparation is shown to contain distinct polypeptides with apparent M.sub.r s on SDS/PAGE of 227, 223, 218, 157, 90, 80, 48, and 20 kD, and to be distinct from bFGF. The human growth factor polypeptide of 157 kD was identified, in human bone marrow aspirates, by immunoblotting with the mAb MS 329.
