20090197269 | Translocation and mutant CSF1R Kinase in human leukemia - In accordance with the invention, a novel gene translocation, (3p21, 5q33), in human myelogenous leukemia (AML) that results in a fusion protein combining part of RNA Binding Protein-6 (RBM6) with Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor (CSF1R) kinase has now been identified. The RBM6-CSF1R fusion protein and truncated CSF1R kinase itself, which both retain CSF1R tyrosine kinase activity, were confirmed to drive the proliferation and survival of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AML-M7). The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant CSF1R kinase polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The disclosed identification of this new fusion protein and truncated kinase enables new methods for determining the presence of these mutant CSF1R kinase polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides, which are also provided by the invention. | 08-06-2009 |

20090312194 | SELECTION OF PERSONALIZED CANCER THERAPY REGIMENS USING INTERFERING RNA FUNCTIONAL SCREENING - Methods for screening cells obtained from a subject for aberrant kinase activity are disclosed. The methods include placing cells isolated from the subject in contact with a set of siRNAs, wherein each individual siRNA is at an addressable location on the array and specifically inhibits expression of a tyrosine kinase. The siRNA is introduced into the blood cells or bone marrow cells by electroporation. After introduction of the siRNA, the cells are then assayed for proliferation and/or viability as compared to a control. A decreased proliferation and/or viability of the cells as compared to a control identifies a siRNA that inhibits the proliferation and/or viability of the cells, thus identifying the tyrosine kinase having aberrant tyrosine kinase activity in the subject. | 12-17-2009 |

20130131139 | ROR1 AS A GENE TARGET IN ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA - Disclosed are methods of selecting a subject suspected of having or having leukemia, such as lymphoblast leukemia (B-ALL), for treatment with an agent that inhibits ROR1-regulated signaling activity. In some examples, cells obtained from the subject are screened for over expression of ROR1. In other examples, the cells are contacted with an agent that inhibits ROR1 signaling activity and a ROR1-regulated signaling activity is detected. An alteration in the ROR1-regulated signaling activity as compared to a control identifies the subject as one that would benefit from treatment with an agent that inhibits ROR1 signaling activity. Also disclosed are methods for identifying an agent for treating a subject with a ROR1-dependent leukemia or with a predisposition for developing a ROR1-dependent leukemia, and methods for treating or inhibiting a ROR1-dependent leukemia, such as B-ALL in a subject. | 05-23-2013 |
