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 disclosure provides methods and compositions for diagnosis and for providing a prognosis of a cancer patient by assessing CK2 alpha 1 pseudogene (CSNK2A1P) status. The present disclosure also provides polypeptide, polynucleotide, host cell, and transgenic animal compositions associated with CSNK2A1P.
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 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.
