Abstract:
A product comprising two or more artificial transcription repressors (ATRs), or polynucleotides encoding therefor, selected from groups (a), (b), (c) or (d): (a) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a KRAB domain or homologue thereof; (b) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a DNMT3A, DNMT3B or DNMT1 domain or homologue thereof; (c) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a DNMT3L domain or homologue thereof; and (d) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a SETDB1 domain or homologue thereof, wherein at least two of the ATRs are selected from different groups (a), (b), (c) or (d).
Abstract:
Objective methods for detecting or diagnosing cancer, or determining a predisposition for developing cancer, particularly lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, osteosarcoma, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumor, are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining an expression level of the SUV39H2 gene. The present invention further provides methods of screening for candidate substances useful in the treatment and/or prevention of an SUV39H2-associated cancer, such as lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, osteosarcoma, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumor. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting the cell growth and thereby treating or alleviating symptoms of an SUV39H2 associated cancer. The present invention also features double-stranded molecules against the SUV39H2 gene and vectors encoding thereof as well as compositions containing such components and their utility in connection with the treatment and prevention of an SUV39H2-associated cancer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the roles played by the SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 genes in carcinogenesis and features a method for treating or preventing cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against the SUV420H1 or SUV420H2 gene or a composition or vector containing such a double-stranded molecule. The present invention also features methods and kits for detecting or diagnosing cancer in a subject, including detecting an expression level of the SUV420H1 or SUV420H2 gene. The present invention further features methods and kits for assessing or determining the prognosis of a subject with cancer, including detecting the expression level of an SUV420H2 gene. Also, disclosed are methods of screening for candidate substances for treating or preventing cancer or inhibiting cancer cell growth, using as an index their effect on the expression or activity of SUV420H1 or SUV420H2.
