摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds and methods for treating cancers in which the autocrine Wnt canonical signaling pathway is activated. In particular, there is provided a method for inhibiting growth of a tumor cell or sensitizing a cancer cell to treatment by contacting such a tumor cell with a compound that alters Wnt signaling. The compound that alters Wnt signaling can be a Wnt antagonist, a Wnt receptor antagonist, or a combination thereof.

The invention is directed to methods of using canonical Wnt ligands as enhancers for bone formation by bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). More specifically, disclosed herein is the use of the canonical Wnt ligands, such as Wnt1 and Wnt3a, for the enhancement of ectopic bone formation.

摘要:
The invention demonstrates that canonical Wnt signaling is activated in certain primary tumors and tumor cell lines in the absence of ?-catenin or APC mutations and that inhibition of such activated canonical Wnt signaling in such tumor cells inhibits tumor growth and, at least in some cases, induces death of tumor cells. As further demonstrated herein, the activation of canonical Wnt signaling is associated with a higher rate of cancer recurrence in patients with Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), which provides a new method for cancer prognosis, wherein activation of canonical Wnt signaling reflects a more aggressive tumor phenotype suggesting the need for a more aggressive therapy.

The present invention features compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same that are useful for modulating p53 activity. The invention further provides methods for inhibiting the biological activity of p53 and for treating diseases such as, for instance, cancer, cell death caused all or in part by cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation thereapy, neuron cell death, stroke, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.

摘要:
The oncogene of the present invention, isolated by expression cloning from a human ovarian cancer is a mutant of TC21. The present invention teaches that ras-related genes not thought to have transforming potential can contribute importantly to cancers which have been refractory to oncogene detection. The present invention teaches that another ras relative gene, R-ras, which was previously reported to lack transforming potential, has transforming capacity as well. Thus, these and other genes similarly related to prototype and activated by analogous mechanisms may be important in the diagnosis and prognosis of certain cancers, as well as be critical in the design of rational approaches to therapy of cancers in which they play a role.
