摘要:
The present invention relates to genetic markers whose expression is correlated with progression of CML. Specifically, the invention provides sets of markers whose expression patterns can be used to differentiate chronic phase individuals from those in blast crisis. The invention relates to methods of using these markers to distinguish these conditions. The invention also relates to kits containing ready-to-use microarrays and computer software for data analysis using the statistical methods disclosed herein.
摘要:
The invention provides molecular markers that are associated with the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and methods and computer systems for monitoring the progression of CML in a patient based on measurements of these molecular markers. The present invention also provides CML target genes, and methods and compositions for treating CML patients by modulating the expression or activity of these CML target genes and/or their encoded proteins. The invention also provides genes that are associated with resistance to imatinib mesylate (Gleevec™) treatment in CML patients, and methods and compositions for determining the responsiveness of a CML patient to imatinib mesylate treatment based on measurements of these genes and/or their encoded proteins. The invention also provides methods and compositions for enhancing the effect of Gleevec™ by modulating the expression or activity of these genes and/or their encoded proteins.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for predicting the hypoxia response in tumor cells, methods for predicting the likelihood of cancer metastasis, and methods for inhibiting tumor cell proliferation using a microRNA comprising miR-210.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for identifying one or more genes in a cell of a cell type which interact with, e.g., modulate the effect of, an agent, e.g., a drug. For example, an identified gene may confer resistance or sensitivity to a drug, i.e., reduces or enhances the effect of the drug. The invention also provides STK6 and TPX2 as a gene that exhibits synthetic lethal interactions with KSP encoding a kinesin-like motor protein, and methods and compositions for treatment of diseases, e.g., cancers, by modulating the expression of STK6 or TPX2 gene and/or the activity of STK6 or TPX2 gene product. The invention also provides genes involved in cellular response to DNA damage, and their therapeutic uses.
摘要:
In a first aspect, the invention provides methods for screening for modulators of a target protein, comprising the steps of contacting a target protein with a candidate agent and determining whether the candidate agent modulates the activity of the target protein, wherein the target protein comprises a sequence that has more than 80% amino acid sequence identity to KIF14 (SEQ ID NO:2) or the KIF14 motor domain (SEQ ID NO:3). In a second aspect, the invention provides methods for modulating cell proliferation comprising administering to a cell an effective amount of a modulator of the activity of a target protein. Some embodiments of this aspect provide methods for treating a subject with a cellular hyperproliferation disorder, such as cancer. In a third aspect, the invention provides methods for identifying candidate subjects for treatment with an inhibitor of the activity of a target protein.

Provided herein are isolated nucleic acid molecule corresponding to miR145 that are useful in treating colon cancer. The disclosed miR145 nucleic acids specifically bind the 3′ UTR within endogenous IRS-I such as to suppress or inhibit colon cell proliferation.
摘要:
Methods for identifying modulators of PPIL2 are described. The methods are particularly useful for identifying analytes that antagonize PPIL2's effect on processing of amyloid precursor protein to Aβ peptide and thus useful for identifying analytes that can be used for treating Alzheimer disease.
摘要:
The invention identifies the CTLA4 receptor as a ligand for the B7 antigen. The complete amino acid sequence encoding human CTLA4 receptor gene is provided. Methods are provided for expressing CTLA4 as an immunoglobulin fusion protein, for preparing hybrid CTLA4 fusion proteins, and for using the soluble fusion proteins, fragments and derivatives thereof, including monoclonal antibodies reactive with B7 and CTLA4, to regulate T cell interactions and immune responses mediated by such interactions.
摘要:
Websites or webpages that break frames may be automatically detected by determining a first value, based on a number of occurrences, that a child webpage and a container webpage are provided for presentation, the child webpage being presented within a frame of the container webpage. A second value may be determined, based on a number of occurrences, of user interaction data, indicating user interaction with the container webpage. The method may further include calculating a frame break score for the child webpage based on the first value and the second value and comparing the frame break score to a threshold. The method may further include identifying, based on the comparison to the threshold, the child webpage as a webpage that breaks frames.
