摘要:
A recombinant lytic virus transcriptionally targeted against malignant cells. A promoter for a viral gene controlling replication is replaced with a promoter for a malignant factor such that the promoter for the malignant factor controls expression of the viral gene controlling replication. Accordingly, the recombinant lytic virus of the present invention only replicates within and kills cells expressing the malignant factor. In an embodiment, the recombinant lytic virus is a recombinant herpes simplex virus, and the viral gene controlling replication is a herpes alpha gene. In an embodiment, the recombinant lytic virus is transcriptionally targeted against cancer stem cells (CSCs). In an embodiment, the recombinant lytic virus is a recombinant herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) with the promoter of CD133 controlling the expression of infected cell protein-4 (ICP4). In another embodiment, the recombinant lytic virus is a recombinant HSV-1 with the promoter of Ezh2 controlling the expression of ICP4.

摘要:
Certain embodiments are directed kits comprising components for producing a mammalian cancer model. In certain aspects the components are expression vectors. In certain embodiments one or more expression vector is engineered to express a KrasG12D polypeptide, a p53 transcriptional suppressor, SMAD4 transcriptional suppressor, p16/CDKN2 A transcriptional suppressor. In certain aspects the transcriptional suppressor is a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or other nucleic acid used for RNA interference.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an inhibitor of Hairy and Enhancer of Split 3 (Hes3) for use in a method of preventing or treating (i) a disease characterised by insulin resistance or (ii) obesity. Further, the present invention also relates to a method of preventing or treating a disease characterised by insulin resistance or obesity, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising Hes3 and to Hes3 and/or an activator thereof for use in a method of preventing or treating a disease characterised by decreased insulin production. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of preventing or treating a disease characterised by decreased insulin production and to the use of Hes3 as a target in a screen for identifying a compound suitable as a lead compound and/or as a medicament for the treatment of diseases characterised by insulin resistance or of obesity or of diseases characterised by decreased insulin production. Moreover, the present invention relates to in-vitro or ex-vivo methods for identifying a compound suitable as a lead compound and/or as a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases characterised by insulin resistance or of obesity or of diseases characterised by decreased insulin production. Finally, the present invention also relates to an in-vitro method of eliciting or enhancing insulin production.
