The present disclosure relates to Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by an over-repetition of the polyglutamine-codifying region in the ataxin-3 (ATX7V3) gene. Expanded ATXN3 is prone to aggregate and disturbs diverse cellular systems, ultimately leading to cell dysfunction and death in specific neuronal populations. To date, no treatment able to reverse or stall MJD / SCA3 progression has been developed. Strategies based on the suppression of the deleterious gene products have demonstrated promising results in pre-clinical studies. Nonetheless, these strategies do not target the root cause of the disease, producing an incomplete and / or transient therapeutic effect in target cells or tissues. Recently, gene-based therapeutics, including the bacterial clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) systems for gene edition, have been successfully used to permanently inactivate and correct disease-related genes, holding promise for the development of a definitive cure for inherited diseases.

It was discovered that by binding to CTCF which is important for maintaining chromosomal structures, hSATII RNA inhibits the function thereof, changes chromosome interaction, and induces transcription of inflammation-associated genes. It has also been discovered that cell death can be selectively induced in senescent cells and cancer cells by suppressing hSATII RNA expression. From the obtained results, it has been found that cancer treatment which targets senescent stromal cells and cancer cells can be performed with a substance that suppresses hSATII RNA or a substance that increases CTCF expression. In addition, cancer can be detected early by measuring the expression and activity of hSATII RNA and CTCF, and an epigenomic change of the hSATII DNA region. Thus, it is possible to provide a therapeutic drug for a cancer associated with cellular senescence, a method for screening thereof, and a test support method.

Size-band analysis is used to determine whether a chromosomal region exhibits a copy number aberration or an epigenetic alteration. Multiple size ranges may be analyzed instead of focusing on specific sizes. By using multiple size ranges instead of specific sizes, methods may analyze more sequence reads and may be able to determine whether a chromosomal region exhibits a copy number aberration even when clinically-relevant DNA may be a low fraction of the biological sample. Using multiple ranges may allow for the use of all sequence reads from a genomic region, rather than a selected subset of reads in the genomic region. The accuracy of analysis may be increased with higher sensitivity at similar or higher specificity. Analysis may include fewer sequencing reads to achieve the same accuracy, resulting in a more efficient process.

The present disclosure provides novel compositions and methods suitable for specifically eliminating target cells (e.g., cancer cells) without affecting non-target cells (e.g., non-cancer cells). For example, CRISPR system and the compositions of the present disclosure can be employed to specifically introduce a suicidal gene into a cancer cell in the loci of a cancer-specific target sequence, which as a result of chromosomal re-arrangement or translocation in a cancer cell presents a cancer specific sequence for a guide RNA and CAS to be recognized and such sequence is absent in a non-cancer cell. Consequently, the specific introduction of the composition(s) to cancer-specific site(s) and integration of suicide gene in the target genome, which is inapplicable to normal cells for lack of the site(s), leads to selective elimination of cancer cells but not non-cancer cells, and therefore render novel therapeutic methods and compositions for cancer treatment.
