摘要:
Methods for diagnosing the presence of BCR in prostate cancer in a subject are provided, such methods including the detection of levels of a variety of biomarkers diagnostic of BCR. Compositions in the form of kits and panels of reagents for detecting the biomarkers of the invention are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, as well as other genes, involved in prostate cancer and their expression products, as well as derivatives and analogs thereof. Provided are therapeutic compositions and methods of detecting and treating cancer, including prostate and other related cancers. Also provided are methods of diagnosing and/or prognosing prostate cancer by determining the expression level of at least one prostate cancer-cell-specific gene, including, for example, the ERG gene or the LTF gene alone, or in combination with at least one of the AMACR gene and the DD3 gene.

摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to ERG, and more specifically, to an epitope formed by amino acids 42-66 of ERG3 are disclosed. The monoclonal antibodies can be non-human antibodies (e.g., rabbit or mouse) or humanized monoclonal antibodies having the CDR regions derived from those non-human antibodies. In other embodiments, the monoclonal antibodies are chimeric, having the light and heavy chain variable regions of a non-human ERG antibody. Methods of using the antibodies to detect ERG, or fusion proteins comprising all or part of an ERG polypeptide, such as an ERG polypeptide encoded by a TMPRSS2/ERG, SLC45A3/ERG, or NDRG1/ERG fusion transcript, are also provided, including methods of detecting ERG or ERG fusion events in a clinical setting. The antibodies can also be used to inhibit the activity of ERG or fusion proteins comprising all or part of an ERG polypeptide, such as an ERG polypeptide encoded by a TMPRSS2/ERG, SLC45A3/ERG, or NDRG1/ERG fusion transcript and to treat malignancies associated with overexpression of ERG or an ERG fusion event, such as prostate cancer, Ewing's sarcoma, acute myeloid leukemia, acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia, endothelial cancer, and colon cancer.
摘要:
Methods for diagnosing the presence of prostate cancer in a subject are provided, such methods including the detection of levels of a variety of biomarkers diagnostic of prostate cancer. The invention also provides methods of treating prostate cancer by administering a biomarker or an agent that modulates a biomarker of prostate cancer. Compositions in the form of kits and panels of reagents for detecting the biomarkers of the invention are also provided.

摘要:
The disclosure describes alterations in ERG gene expression. ERG isoforms and promoter sequence of the ERG gene that are involved in, or associated with, prostate cancer are provided. The disclosure further provides therapeutic compositions and methods of detecting, diagnosing, prognosing, and treating prostate cancer, including biomarkers for detecting the expression of two or more of the following genes: PSA/KLK3, PMEPA1, NKX3.1, ODC1, AMD1, and ERG.
