Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of identifying agents that inhibi t or suppress the binding between MPHOSPH1 and PRC1. Such agents are expecte d to suppress the proliferation of cell expressing MPHOSPH1 and PRC1, and fu nction as agents to prevent or treat cancer, such as bladder cancer.
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:
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 normal 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 prostate cancer (PRC) or prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves the determining a expression leve l of PRC -associated gene that discriminate between PRC or PIN and nomal cell. The present invention further provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of either or both of PRC and PIN, methods of treating either or both of PRC and PIN and method of vaccinating a subject against either or both of PRC and PIN.
Abstract:
The present application provides novel human genes RHBDF1 whose expression i s markedly elevated in CML and AML compared to normal peripheral blood cell, a nd lung adenocarcinoma compared to normal lung cell. 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.
Abstract:
Provided is a novel cancer-treating agent which can be used as a novel choice for the treatment of cancer. Specifically provided are: a peptide that inhibits binding of ERAP1 polypeptide to PHB2 polypeptide, which comprises a binding site of the ERAP1 polypeptide to the PHB2 polypeptide, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the peptide. In addition, provided is a method for screening a drug candidate for treating and/or preventing cancer using inhibition of the binding of the ERAP1 polypeptide to PP1± polypeptide, PKA polypeptide or PKB polypeptide as an index.
