| 20090142344 | BREAST CANCER RELATED GENE ZNFN3A1 - Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing breast cancer (BRC) are described herein. Also described are methods of treating and preventing breast cancer and breast cancer metastasis as well as methods of assessing the prognosis of a breast cancer subject and the efficacy of a breast cancer therapy. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining the expression level of ZNFN3A1, a gene whose expression is markedly elevated in breast cancers, that therefore can be used to discriminate between BRC cells and normal cells. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of BRC, methods of treating BRC and method for vaccinating a subject against BRC. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090191181 | METHODS OF MODULATING SMYD3 FOR TREATMENT OF CANCER - The present invention features a method for determining the methyltransferase activity of a polypeptide and screening for modulators of methyltransferase activity, more particularly for modulators of the methylation of retinoblastoma by SMYD3. The invention further provides a method or pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treating of colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, bladder cancer and/or breast cancer using a modulator so identified. N-terminal truncated forms of SMYD3 (alias ZNFN3A1) have higher methylating activity. Lys 824 is a preferred methylation site on the RB1 protein for SMYD3. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100291567 | GENES AND POLYPEPTIDES RELATING TO HEPATOCELLULAR OR COLORECTAL CARCINOMA - The present application provides novel human genes WDRPUH and KRZFPUH, and PPIL1 whose expression is markedly elevated in a great majority of HCCs and colorectal cancers, respectively, compared to corresponding non-cancerous tissues, as well as novel human gene APCDD1 whose expression is elevated in primary colon cancers and down-regulated in response to the transduction of wild-type APC1 into colon-cancer cells. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of a cell proliferative disease, and as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20080207549 | GENES AND POLYPEPTIDES RELATING TO HEPATOCELLULAR OR COLORECTAL CARCINOMA - The present application provides novel human genes WDRPUH and KRZFPUH and PPIL1 whose expression is markedly elevated in a great majority of HCC's and colorectal cancers, respectively, compared to corresponding non-cancerous tissues, as well as novel human gene APCDD1 whose expression is elevated in primary colon cancers and down-regulated in response to the transduction of wild-type APC1 into colon cancer cells. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of a cell proliferative disease, and as target for developing drugs against the disease. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090012032 | GENES AND POLYPEPTIDES RELATING TO HUMAN COLON CANCERS - The present application provides novel human genes RNF43 whose expression is markedly elevated in colorectal cancers, as well as CXADRL1 and GCUD1 whose expression is markedly elevated in gastric cancers compared to corresponding non-cancerous tissues. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of a cell proliferative disease, and as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090035771 | Hepatocellular carcinoma-related genes and polypeptides, and method for detecting hepatocellular carcinomas - Genes up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinomas and polypeptides encoded by these genes are provided. Vectors, transformants and methods for producing the recombinant polypeptides are also provided. Probes and primers of these genes and antibodies against the polypeptides are also provided. The probes, primers and antibodies can be used as reagents for detecting hepatocellular carcinomas. Methods for detecting hepatocellular carcinomas using such detection reagents are further provided. Antisense nucleotide sequences of these genes are also provided and can be used to inhibit growth of hepatocellular carcinomas. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090136508 | METHOD OF DIAGNOSING COLON AND GASTRIC CANCERS - Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing Colorectal and gastric carcinomas are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determining a expression level of colon or gastric cancer-associated gene that discriminate between colon or gastric cancer and normal cell. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of colonic cancer and method of vaccinating a subject against colon or gastric cancer. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100016220 | GENES AND POLYPEPTIDES RELATING TO HUMAN COLON CANCERS - The present application provides novel human genes RNF43 whose expression is markedly elevated in colorectal cancers, as well as CXADRL1 and GCUD1 whose expression is markedly elevated in gastric cancers compared to corresponding non-cancerous tissues. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of a cell proliferative disease, and as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease. | 01-21-2010 |
