Benefits of technology

[0012]Under such circumstances, the present inventors have made intensive research to develop a novel cancer-specific molecular species and a result, found that a variant of AIMP2 lacking exon 2, AIMP2-DX2 is specifically expressed in cancer cells not normal cells and permits to diagnose cancer occurrence in more reliable manner. In addition, the present inventors have discovered that antibody, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotide specific to AIMP2-DX2 allow to effectively treat cancer.

Problems solved by technology

However, such methods provide no diagnostic data in terms of cell physiology molecular genetics, while they allow to determine anatomical progress of cancer.
Lung and liver cancers are known to exhibit high incidence rate and mortality over the world.
However, markers for lung and liver cancers so far proposed permit restricted application in the senses that they are also detectable in normal cells.
Therefore, assays or diagnostics using such markers are generally carried out by comparing their expression levels in normal and cancerous cells, resulting in unreliable and erroneous diagnosis.

Methods

Cell Culture, Chemicals and Cell Cycle Measurement

[0151]Cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were isolated from 12.5-14.5 day embryos and cultivated in DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) containing 20% FBS. To evaluate the effect of TGF-13 on cell cycle, cells were incubated with 2 ng / ml TGF-β in serum-free or 1% FBS-containing medium for 24 hr and harvested for FACS analysis. Cell proliferation was also determined by [3H] thymidine incorporation. Cells were incubated in serum-free medium with or without TGF-β for 20 hr, and then in the presence of 1 μCi / ml of [3H] thymidine for 4 hr. The incorporated thymidine was quantified by liquid scintillation counting as previously described (Kim, M. J. et al., Nat. Genet. 34, 330-336(2003)). TGF-β was purchased from R&D system, and anti-Smad2 and anti-Smad4 antibodies from Santa Cruz.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a variant of AIMP2 lacking exon 2 gene, named as AIMP2-DX2 gene, which is specifically expressed in cancer cells. The AIMP2-DX2 gene and siRNA targeting AIMP2-DX2 can be successfully used in the development of diagnosis and treatment of cancer

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 11 / 264,725, filed Nov. 1, 2005, which claims priority from Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2004-0097164 and 10-2005-0039073, filed on Nov. 24, 2004 and May 10, 2005, respectively in the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The disclosures of the priority applications, including the sequence listings and tables submitted in electronic form in lieu of paper, are incorporated by reference into the instant specification.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a variant of AIMP2 lacking exon 2, named as AIMP2-DX2 gene and SiRNA targeting AIMP2-DX2.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Cancer is generally diagnosed by radiography examinations such as X-ray radiography, computed tomography and bronchography or bronchoscopy examination. However, such methods provide no diagnostic data in terms of cell physiology molecular ...
