Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080241125MUC1-IKB KINASE COMPLEXES AND THEIR ACTIVITIES - The disclosure provides methods of identifying and making compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds that inhibit the interaction between MUC1 and an IKK. The disclosure also provides in vivo and in vitro methods of inhibiting such an interaction. Also embraced by the disclosure are in vitro and in vivo methods of inhibiting the IKK/NF-κB pathway in cells expressing MUC1. The compounds, compositions, and methods of the disclosure are generally useful in the treatment of various cancers, inflammatory (e.g., autoimmune disorders), and transplant rejection.10-02-2008
20080286264Modulation of Muc1 Activity - The invention provides methods of identifying and making compounds that inhibit the interaction between MUC1 and either p53 or TBP. Also embraced by the invention are in vivo and in vitro methods of inhibiting such an interaction and of inhibiting the expression of MUC1 by a cell.11-20-2008
20080311575Modulation of Muci-Dependent Anti-Estrogen Resistance - The present invention provides methods for identification and use of compounds that modulate the association of MUC1 with estrogen receptors and thereby antagonize MUC1-related resistance to anti-estrogen treatment.12-18-2008
20090087437METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF APOPTOSIS BY MUC1 AND BH3-CONTAINING PROAPOPTOTIC PROTEINS - This invention relates to regulation of cell signaling, cell growth, and more particularly to the regulation of cancer or immune cell growth. The invention provides methods of inhibiting interactions between MUC1 and BH3-containing proapoptotic proteins, methods of inhibiting MUC1 expression, and methods of promoting apoptosis. Also provided are screening methods for compounds that inhibit interactions between MUC1 and BH3-containing proapoptotic proteins and pharmaceutical compositions of the same.04-02-2009
20090092600METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF MUC1 BY HSF1 AND STAT3 - This invention relates to regulation of cell signaling, cell growth, and more particularly to the regulation of cancer or inflammatory cell growth and/or activation. The invention provides methods of inhibiting interactions between MUC1 and a heat shock factor, method of inhibiting interactions between transcription factors and the MUC1 promoter, and methods of inhibiting expression. The invention also provides screening methods for identifying compounds that inhibit the aforementioned interactions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the identified compounds can be useful in treating cancers and inflammatory conditions.04-09-2009
20090098054METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATING TO PROMOTER REGULATION BY MUC1 AND KLF PROTEINS - This invention relates to regulation of cell signaling, cell growth, and more particularly to the regulation of cancer or inflammatory cell growth and/or activation. The invention provides methods of, and compositions useful for, inhibiting interactions between MUC1 and a kruppel-like factor (KLF), method of inhibiting interactions between a KLF protein and the p53 promoter, methods of inhibiting the interaction between MUC1 and the p53 promoter, methods of increasing p53 activity, and methods of increasing histone acetylation. The invention also provides screening methods for identifying compounds that inhibit the aforementioned interactions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the identified compounds can be useful in treating cancers and inflammatory conditions.04-16-2009
20090136520MITOCHONDRIAL LOCALIZATION OF MUC1 - The invention provides methods of identifying and making compounds that inhibit the interaction between MUC1 and either or both of HSP70 and HSP90.
