摘要:
A method of measuring the efficacy of an anticancer agent in generating abasic (AP) sites in DNA of cancer cells of a subject includes administering to the subject an anticancer agent that generates AP sites in at least one cancer cell and an AP endonuclease inhibitor probe. The AP endonuclease inhibitor probe includes a detection moiety for detecting the probe in the subject. The amount of probe bound to cancer cells of the subject is then measured. The amount of probe bound to cancer cells of the subject is indicative of efficacy of the anticancer agent in generating AP sites in cancer cells of the subject.
摘要:
A method treating cancer in a subject comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antimetabolite agent that induces formation of AP sites in cancer cells of the subjects and an amount AP endonuclease inhibitor effective to potentiate the cytotoxicity of the antimetabolite agent to the cancer cells.
摘要:
This application provides compositions and methods useful in the treatment of certain cancers. In part, this application is based on the recognition that certain molecules that target abasic lesions or AP sites in DNA improve, augment, or potentiate the chemotherapeutic efficacy of certain anticancer agents.
摘要:
A method of treating a neoplastic disease in a subject includes administering to neoplastic cells of the subject an MGMT inhibitor and at least one of an antimitotic agent or a DNA damaging agent.

A method of detecting abasic (AP) sites in DNA from a subject includes isolating a sample of DNA from a subject under examination, contacting the DNA with a fluorescent aldehyde reactive probe (FARP), and detecting FARP labeled AP sites in the DNA sample.
摘要:
Genetic markers in the HLA-C gene associated with adverse hematological response to drug therapy are disclosed. Compositions and methods for detecting and using these HLA-C markers in a variety of clinical applications are disclosed. Such applications include methods for testing an individual for susceptibility for an adverse hematological response, methods of selecting the appropriate drug therapy for patients based on the presence or absence of a HLA-C marker, and products comprising a drug with hematological toxicity that are approved for treating patients lacking a genetic marker.

Genetic markers in the HLA-DQB1 gene associated with adverse hematological response to drug therapy are disclosed. Compositions and methods for detecting and using these HLA-DQB1 markers in a variety of clinical applications are disclosed. Such applications include methods for testing an individual for susceptibility for an adverse hematological response, methods of selecting the appropriate drug therapy for patients based on the presence or absence of a HLA-DQB1 marker, and products comprising a drug with hematological toxicity that are approved for treating patients lacking a genetic marker.
