    摘要: A specific member of the HERV-K family located in chromosome 22 at 20.428 megabases (22q11.2) has been found to be preferentially and significantly up-regulated in prostate tumors. The invention provides methods for diagnosing prostate cancer, comprising the step of detecting in a patient sample the presence or absence of an expression product of the virus. The virus has five features not seen in other HERV-K members: (1) its own specific nucleotide sequence, and consequently amino acid sequences; (2) tandem 5′ LTRs; (3) a fragmented 3′ LTR; (4) an env gene interrupted by an alu insertion; and (5) unique gag sequences.

    摘要: HERV-K human endogenous retroviruses show up-regulated expression in tumors. In particular, splicing events in the env region generate a series of transcripts which utilise the +2 reading frame, relative to the env reading frame. The proteins show activity typical of transcriptional regulators, and they also have oncogenic potential. Two related proteins, PCAP2 and PCAP3, are strongly associated with breast cancer and prostate cancer, respectively. PCAP4 stimulates cell division. These proteins can be used in cancer diagnosis and therapy, and are also drug target e.g. for adjuvant therapy. The identification of these splice products is remarkable because full sequence information has been available for HERV-K viruses since 1986.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods of treating and preventing cancer, such as cancer characterized by differential expression of trefoil factor 3 (TFF3). The methods include administering to a patient an agent that modulates TFF3 activity or expression. The present invention is further directed to reducing the physiological effects of TFF3 expression in cells, including inhibiting cell motility and resistance to apoptosis. Oligonucleotides and antibodies that can modulate expression or activity of TFF3 are also provided.

    摘要: A position-sensing system includes a first component (e.g., a cylinder) and a second component (e.g., a piston rod) movably coupled to the first component for movement with respect thereto. A magnetically hard layer on the second component provides a recording medium. Regions of the magnetically hard layer are magnetized as magnetized rings around the second component. Magnetic-field sensors are coupled to the first component in proximity of the magnetically hard layer on the second component to sense the rings of magnetized regions. Each of the magnetic field sensors senses flux from each of the rings of magnetized regions as the second component is moving with respect to the first component and, in response to sensing the rings of magnetized regions, generates signals used to determine position of the second component.

    摘要: A position-sensing system magnetically senses the position of a piston rod moving with respect to a cylinder. A magnetically hard layer on the piston rod provides a recording medium. Information is perpendicularly magnetized in regions of the magnetically hard layer. These regions provide an encoding scheme for determining the position of the piston rod. Magnetic-field sensors are positioned over redundant tracks of magnetically recorded regions. Each magnetic-field sensor positioned over a given track senses the same magnetized regions while the piston rod moves with respect to the cylinder. Other magnetic-field sensors can sense ambient fields for use in performing common-mode rejection. A write head can dynamically repair damaged or erased regions detected by the magnetic-field sensors. Energized by a battery-backup power source, the magnetic-field sensors and associated circuitry can continue to track movement of the piston rod when the machinery is off.
