摘要:
The invention relates to animal solid tumour models which comprise a transgenic non-human mammal containing in its genome a DNA construct that comprises a gene created and/or activated by a genetic anomaly associated with human cancer operatively bound to a promoter that directs the expression of the gene in Sca1+ cells. The invention also relates to stem cells capable of specifically expressing in stem cells human genetic anomalies associated with human pathologies. Applications of these models and stem cells, such as diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic applications for human diseases, and products and methods are provided.

The invention relates, in general, to markers of obesity and lipodystrophy. In particular, the expression level of the SLUG gene or its expression products can be used as such a marker. Furthermore, the invention additionally relates to the use of SLUG as a therapeutic and diagnostic target for these pathologies. The invention further relates to a method of treating a disorder associated with increased or decreased fat storage in a mammal comprising modulating the activity or level of the SLUG protein or the SLUG gene in the mammal.
摘要:
The invention relates to the Slug gene, the replication, transcription or expression products thereof and products related with the regulation of said Slug gene or with the regulation, elimination or degradation of the expression or translation products of same, which can be used in the identification, prevention or treatment of the spread or development of metastasis in cancer patients, such as a patient suffering from a cancer with cancer cells that express the Slug gene.

摘要:
The invention relates to the graded expression level of SNAIL gene or its expression products, as a marker of the capacity of epithelial and mesenchymal tumours and/or cancers for disseminating to other tissues or organs. The invention further relates to a transgenic non-human mammal comprising in its genome a transgene that comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding the SNAIL protein, and the use of SNAIL as a marker of epithelial and mesenchymal tumours and/or cancers as well as in DNA damage-based diseases In addition, the invention relates to the use of SNAIL as a therapeutic and diagnostic target for said pathologies.
摘要:
The invention relates to the identification of markers for cancer stem cells. These markers can be used in a number of different ways, including diagnosis and therapy. In particular, the invention relates to a method of detecting, identifying and/or quantifying cancer stem cells, the method comprising the step of assessing the level of expression; the activity; or the sequence of the SLUG, OVOL1 and/or OVOL2 gene, promoter and/or expression product in a cell.
