摘要:
The present invention provides the identification of biomarker gene sets whose expression levels are useful for predicting a patient's response to a therapeutically effective dose of a Wee1 inhibitor as well the ability to predict said response prior to dosing with the Wee1 inhibitor. Additional uses are also disclosed in the specification.
摘要:
Evaluation of compounds including screening of therapeutic agents for obesity is performed utilizing expression levels of Slc25a10 gene or protein in a test tissue or a test cell, or utilizing the nature of Slc25a10 gene or protein. Examination of obesity is performed based on expression levels of Slc25a10 gene or polymorphisms of the gene.
摘要:
To clarify histamine receptor H3 protein function in vivo, the present inventors constructed a nonhuman higher animal in which the expression of a histamine receptor H3 gene was artificially inhibited. As a result, the present inventors found that this nonhuman higher animal showed increased body weight, food intake, blood insulin level, or blood leptin level compared with a control. Thus, the present inventors found that abnormalities in the histamine receptor H3 protein relate to diseases characterized by changes in body weight or food intake, and this has made it possible to screen drugs for treatment or prevention of these diseases, and to examine these diseases.
摘要:
It is intended to provide a gene for assuming drug sensitivity, which is to be used for assuming the drug sensitivity to a CDK4 inhibitor based on the expression amount in a test tissue or a test cell, selected from the group consisting of p16 gene, p18 gene and p27 gene. It is also intended to provide a method of assuming the drug sensitivity to a CDK4 inhibitor by using the expression amount of the above gene in a test tissue or a test cell as an indication.
摘要:
Internal domain 3 of seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors is important for G protein binding or receptor activity, and is well conserved. In H3 receptors, which are a type of G protein-coupled receptor, this region is also conserved in the same way. Therefore, as a result of using PCR to introduce point mutations into sequences encoding the region in H3 receptor cDNA, H3 receptor mutants comprising extremely strong constitutive activity could be successfully produced. The present inventors further found that by using constitutively active H3 receptor mutants, drug candidate compounds such as H3 receptor inverse agonists can be screened more easily and efficiently.
摘要:
A method for evaluation of a compound comprising the steps of introducing an RSK1 gene into a cell to prepare a cell capable of expressing RSK1, contacting a compound to be evaluated with the cell, and detecting the specific binding of the compound to RSK1; and a compound given by the method. The compound can be used as a potentiator of cisplatin. The method enables to find a gene which acts specifically on a cell of cancer induced by the abnormality in p53 or enhanced MAPK pathway and to evaluate a compound by using the gene.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a protein which excretes cancer chemotherapeutic drugs from a cell and which confers drug-resistance on the cell, a DNA encoding the protein, a method for detecting a cell type resistant to cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, a method for screening an inhibitor to overcome the resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic drugs as well as utilizing this knowledge to improve the therapeutic treatment of cancer patients.
摘要:
In the examination of obesity or leanness, the examination is based on the expression level of the MCP-1 gene or the MCP-1 protein in a tissue or cell analyte, or on the polymorphism in the gene. In the evaluation of compounds, including screening for therapeutic agents for obesity or leanness, the properties of the MCP-1 gene or the MCP-1 protein are utilized to carry out the evaluation.
