摘要:
An method of determining whether a gene of interest is necessary for a tumor cell to maintain its tumorigenicity is disclosed. The method is useful for validation of cancer therapeutic targets in vivo, using shRNAs and tumor xenografts. The inducible shRNA method operates an in vivo RNAi competition assay.

摘要:
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), called G2A, whose expression is regulated and functions at the G2/M checkpoint to ensure properly controlled duplication of hematopoietic cells. The receptor is found predominantly in hematopoietic cells and tissues and functions as a tumor suppressor gene and induces cell cycle arrest. This receptor may play an important role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. Regulation of receptor activity has several therapeutic applications.

摘要:
The invention provided herein describes ligands and methods for modulating a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), designated G2A, a lymphocyte expressed receptor whose genetic ablation results in the development of autoimmunity. The present disclosure teaches that lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is a high affinity ligand for G2A and that sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is a lower affinity ligand for G2A. As G2A activation is shown to be involved in a variety of physiological processes including cell proliferation, autoimmunity and inflammation, methods which modulate its activity have a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
