    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of cancer. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful for assessing prostate cancer. In a specific embodiment, present inventors have developed and applied a new technology and associated computation methods enabling simultaneous genome-scale analysis of genetic (copy number) and epigenetic (total methylation (TM) and allele-specific methylation (ASM) alternation, This method, called MBD-SNP, features affinity enrichment or methylated genomic DNA fragments using a methyl-binding domain polypeptide.

    摘要: The disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer. In some aspects, disclosed herein are methods for the induction of synthetic lethality with epigenetic therapy (ISLET) using a combination of at least one epigenetic compound and at least one chemotherapeutic agent. Also disclosed herein are screening methods for identifying compounds that induce killing of cancer cells when combined with at least one epigenetic compound. Further disclosed herein are methods of potentiating a therapeutic effect of a chemotherapeutic agent against a cancer, comprising administering to a subject having the cancer an epigenetic compound in an amount effective to potentiate the therapeutic effect of the chemotherapeutic agent against the cancer.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of cancer. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful for diagnosing or predicting cancer in a patient. In one embodiment, a method for identifying a patient as having cancer comprises the steps of (a) providing a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded or fresh frozen sample of patient tissue; (b) steaming the sample in antigen retrieval buffer; (c) incubating the sample in hydrochloric acid (HCl); (d) incubating the sample with an affinity reagent specific for 5hmC under conditions to form a complex between the affinity reagent and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) present in the sample; (e) detecting the complexes formed between 5hmC and the affinity reagent with secondary detection reagents; (f) quantifying 5hmC levels; and (g) identifying the patient as having cancer if the 5hmC levels in the sample are reduced as compared to a control.
