Abstract:
The present invention provides polypeptides useful for treating and preventing cancer. The present invention also provides therapeutic agents or methods for treating cancer using the polypeptides. The polypeptides of the present invention are composed of an amino acid sequence which comprises VIVIT and is preferably a polypeptide in which the motif sequence PxIxIT at positions 37 to 41 of the amino acid sequence of the C1958 protein (SEQ ID NO: 2) is replaced with PVIVIT. The polypeptides of the present invention can be introduced into cancer cells by modifying the polypeptides with transfection agents such as poly-arginine. The present invention provides methods and kits for identifying inhibitors of the interaction between C1958 and PPP3CA which find utility in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Also disclosed herein are compositions for treating or preventing cancer identified by the screening method of the present invention and methods of using same in the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for inhibiting growth of a cancer cell, particularly a renal cell carcinoma, by contacting the cell with a composition composed of an HIG2 siRNA or HIG2 antibody. Methods of diagnosing renal cell cancer are also provided within the present invention.
Abstract:
The present application provides novel human genes B1194, A2282V1, A2282V2, and A2282V3 whose expression is markedly elevated in breast cancer. These genes and polypeptides encoded thereby can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of breast cancer, and as target molecules for developing drugs against breast cancer.
Abstract:
The present application provides novel human gene MICAL2-PV whose expression is markedly elevated in prostate cancers. Furthermore, it provides polypeptides encoded by the gene as well as polypeptides encoded by PCOTH which expression was also discovered to be elevated in prostate cancers. The genes and polypeptides encoded by the genes can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of prostate cancers, as target molecules for developing drugs against the disease, and for attenuating cell growth of prostate cancer.
Abstract:
Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determining a expression level of CML-associated gene that discriminate between CML and nomal cell. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of CML, methods of treating CML and method of vaccinating a subject against CML.
Abstract:
Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing pancreatic cancer (PNC) are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining the expression level of PNC-associated gene that discriminates between PNC cells and normal cells. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, methods of treating pancreatic cancer and method of vaccinating a subject against pancreatic cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an antibody or a fragment thereof which is capable of binding to a Frizzled homologue 10 (FZD10) protein, such as a mouse monoclonal antibody, a chimeric antibody and a humanized antibody. Also, the present invention relates to a method for treating and/or preventing FZD10-associated disease; a method for diagnosis or prognosis of FZD10-associated disease; and a method for in vivo imaging of FZD10 in a subject.
Abstract:
GENES AND POLYPEPTIDES RELATING TO BREAST CANCERSAbstractThe present application provides novel human genes A7322, whose expression is markedly elevated in breast cancer. The present application also provides human genes F3374 whose expression is markedly elevated in breast cancer. Thesegenes and polypeptides encoded thereby can be used, for example. in the diagnosis of breast cancer, and as target molecules for developing drugs against breast cancer. The invention features methods of screening for modulators of the kinase activity of PBK/TOPK. The invention further provides methods of screening for agents to prevent or treat cancer, such as breast cancer.(No suitable figure)
