Beta-catenin is a strong and independent prognostic factor for cancer

InactiveUS20030064384A1Poor prognosisStrong and independent prognostic factor in cancerGenetic material ingredientsMicrobiological testing/measurementTransactivationFactor ii
Cyclin D1 is one of the targets of beta-catenin in breast cancer cells. Transactivation of beta-catenin correlated significantly with cyclin D1 expression both in eight breast cell lines in vitro and in 123 patient samples. More importantly, high beta-catenin activity significantly correlated with poor prognosis of the patients and is a strong and independent prognostic factor in breast cancer (p<0.001). Moreover, by multivariate analyses, the inventors found that activated beta-catenin is a strong prognostic factor which provided additional and independent predictive information on patients survival rate even when other prognostic factors, including lymph node metastasis, tumor size, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status, were taken into account (p<0.001). This invention demonstrates that beta-catenin is involved in breast cancer formation and / or progression and may serve as a target for breast cancer therapy.

Cyr61 as a Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cancers of Epithelial Origin

Urinary Cyr61 protein levels are up regulated in patients that have cancers of epithelial origin, i.e. breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to methods for prognostic evaluation, and diagnosis of cancers of epithelial origin. Further, the amount of Cyr61 protein detected in a urine sample correlates with disease status such that Cyr61 levels can be used to predict the presence of, as well as the metastatic potential of cancer. Thus, measuring the level of Cyr61 in urine provides a quick, easy, and safe screen that can be used to both diagnose and prognose cancer in a patient.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in Blast-Exposed Individuals

The invention is based on the surprising discovery that as few as one episode of blast exposure increases the risk of CTE. Blast exposure is associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, impaired neuronal function, and persistent cognitive deficits in blast-exposed military veterans and experimental animals. Early diagnosis and assessment of risk permits physicians to prescribe treatment to reduce or slow progression of impairment before the onset of overt symptoms that become apparent decades after an initial insult or trauma to brain tissue. The invention provides methods and compositions for diagnosis and prognosis of individuals at risk of long term complications related to blast injury or concussive injury.

ONCOGENOMICS-BASED RNAi SCREEN AND USE THEREOF TO IDENTIFY NOVEL TUMOR SUPPRESSORS

In some aspects, the invention provides a genetically tractable in situ non-human animal model for hepatocellular carcinoma. The model is useful, inter alia, in understanding the molecular mechanisms of liver cancer, in understanding the genetic alterations that lead to chemoresistance or poor prognosis, and in identifying and evaluating new therapies against hepatocellular carcinomas. The liver cancer model of this invention is made by altering hepatocytes to increase oncogene expression, to reduce tumor suppressor gene expression or both and by transplanting the resulting hepatocytes into a recipient non-human animal.The present invention also provides methods for identifying and validating tumor suppressor genes by screening pools of shRNAs that target genomic regions deleted in human cancers, such as human hepatocellular carcinomas. The present invention also provides validated tumor suppressor genes, and methods of inhibiting cell proliferation and / or tumor growth, for example by expression of such tumor suppressor genes.
