Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for diagnosing or detecting colon disease by measuring the level of certain proteins or peptides in a test sample from a subject. These proteins or peptides are differentially expressed in colon cancer and can be used as markers for diagnosis. The invention also provides methods for detecting these proteins or peptides in a biological sample, such as tissue or blood, and using them to diagnose or monitor the disease. The invention further provides a method for screening agents that modulate the activity of the proteins or peptides. Overall, the invention provides new tools for diagnosing and treating colon disease.

Problems solved by technology

The five-year survival rate for patients with colorectal cancer detected in an early localized stage is 92%; unfortunately, only 37% of colorectal cancer is diagnosed at this stage.
Recurrence following surgery (the most common form of therapy) is a major problem and is often the ultimate cause of death.
In spite of considerable research into therapies for the disease, colon cancer remains difficult to diagnose and treat.
In spite of considerable research into therapies for these and other cancers, colon cancer remains difficult to diagnose and treat effectively.
In spite of considerable research into therapies for these and other cancers, colon cancer remains difficult to diagnose and treat effectively.

Colon Cancer Cell Line Culture

[0372] Cell lines were grown in a culturing medium that is supplemented as necessary with growth factors and serum (as described in Table 2). Cultures were established from frozen stocks in which the cells were suspended in a freezing medium (cell culture medium with 10% DMSO [v / v]) and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen stocks prepared in this way were stored in the liquid nitrogen vapour. Cell cultures were established by rapidly thawing frozen stocks at 37.degree. C. Thawed stock cultures were slowly transferred to a culture vessel containing a larg...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for diagnosing and detecting diseases associated with colon. The present invention provides one or more proteins or fragments thereof, peptides or nucleic acid molecules differentially expressed in colon diseases (CCAT) and antibodies binds to CCAT. The present invention provides that CCAT is used as targets for screening agents that modulates the CCAT activities. Further the present invention provides methods for treating diseases associated with colon.
