Abstract:
The present invention is based on the observation that the co-activation of CDCA1 and KNTC2, and their cognate interactions, play significant roles in lung-cancer progression and that methods of inhibiting the complex can be used to treat non-small-cell lung 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:
Objective methods for detecting, diagnosing, treating and preventing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are described herein. In particular, the present invention relates to two genes up-regulated in HCC cells as compared to normal cells, referred to herein as MGC47816 and HES6. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determining the expression level of MGC47816 or HES6 that discriminate between hepatocellular carcinoma cellsand normal cells. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of HCC, methods of treating HCC, and methods for vaccinating a subject against HCC.
Abstract:
Methods for detecting and diagnosing diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC) are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determination of an expression level of DGC -associated gene that discriminate between DGC and normal cell. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of DGC, methods of treating DGC and method of vaccinating a subject against DGC.
Abstract:
The present invention provides peptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, 67, 89, as well as peptides comprising the above-mentioned amino acid sequences in which 1, 2, or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, or added, and having cytotoxic T cell inducibility. The present invention also provides drugs for treating or preventing tumors comprising these peptides. The peptides of the present invention can also be used as vaccines.

Abstract:
The present application provides novel human gene ELOVL7 whose expression is markedly elevated in prostate cancers. The gene and polypeptide encoded by the gene 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:
The invention features a method for inhibiting growth of a cancer cell by contacting the cell with a composition of a PKP3, CDCA1, CDCA8, DLX5, URLC11 or NPTX1 siRNA. Methods of treating cancer are also within the invention. The invention also features products, including nucleic acid sequences and vectors as well as to compositions comprising them, useful in the provided methods. The invention also provides a method for inhibiting of tumor cell, for example lung cancer cell, particularly NSCLC.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for detecting non-small cell lung cancer using differentially expressed genes. Furthermore, novel human genes whose expression is elevated in non-small cell lung cancer compared to no-cancerous tissues are provided. Also disclosed are methods of identifying compounds for treating and preventing non-small cell lung 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.
