[0028]FIG. 1C. Adenoviral delivery of dominant-negative Stat5 (AdDNStat5) induced cell death in androgen-independent CWR22Rv human prostate cancer cells. Representative experiment showing a dose-dependent effect on cell viability of adenoviral gene delivery of a dominant-negative Stat5

Problems solved by technology

A central clinical problem in prostate cancer treatment is that residual cancer cells inevitably will overcome androgen ablation, and recur as androgen-independent cancer with increased malignancy.
Furthermore, for estab

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application, 60 / 465,014, filed on Apr. 23, 2003, by Marja Nevalainen, entitled “Inhibition of Transcription Factor Stat5 Induces Cell Death of Human Prostate Cancer Cells”. The entire teachings of the referenced Provisional Application are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.FUNDING [0002] Work described herein was funded, in whole or in part, by National Institutes of Health Grant Numbers RO1 CA83813 and RO1 DK52013 and Department of Defense Grant DAMD 17-01-1-0059. The United States government has certain rights in the invention.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Currently the only pharmacological strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer is ablation of androgens, either as adjuvant therapy after surgery or as a primary therapy for patients who are deemed unfit for surgery. A central clinical problem in prostate cancer treatment is that residual cancer cells inevitably...
