32 results about "E2F" patented technology

E2F is a group of genes that encodes a family of transcription factors (TF) in higher eukaryotes. Three of them are activators: E2F1, 2 and E2F3a. Six others act as suppressors: E2F3b, E2F4-8. All of them are involved in the cell cycle regulation and synthesis of DNA in mammalian cells. E2Fs as TFs bind to the TTTCCCGC (or slight variations of this sequence) consensus binding site in the target promoter sequence.

Recombinant oncolytic adenovirus expressing human interleukin 15 and construction method thereof

The invention provides a novel recombinant oncolytic adenovirus expressing human interleukin 15. Specifically, the gene promoter of a type 5 adenovirus E1 region is replaced with a transcription factor E2F-1 gene, and an hIL-15 gene is inserted to an E3 region to construct the recombinant oncolytic adenovirus. According to the invention, E2F-1 is used as the promoter to realize replication of virus specificity in tumor cells, and at the same time, loading of human IL-15 gene in a virogene E3 region can further enhance the anti-tumor effect of the virus. As the pRb / E2F pathway defects exist extensively in solid tumors, through the tumor resolving effect of the virus, a variety of tumor antigens from the individual itself can be acquired, and are not limited by antigen subcellular localization, thus being conducive to producing anti-tumor immune response with self tumor specificity, and having individualized and general treatment significance. In addition, the virus replication process drives the IL-15 gene expression, high concentration IL-15 can be obtained from a part of the virus-infected tumor cell, thereby being in favor of stimulating the activity of immune cells, activating the general immune response and strengthening the antitumor effect.

Methods and compositions for modulating tumor suppression

The purification of native RB (retinoblastoma) as a complex, including P107, P130, and a 600 kDa subunit, termed MTAF600 (microtubule associated factor 600) is described. MTAF600 binds to RB regardless of the phosphorylation status of RB, and binds to RB without disrupting the interaction between RB and E2F. It is further shown that E2F and DP proteins co-purified with MTAF600 and RB, such that hypophosphorylated RB may gain access to E2F as a complex with MTAF600. In addition, MTAF600 binds to microtubules and plays a role in active repression of E2F-responsive genes, cell cycle arrest, and genomic stability. The sequence of MTAF600 is described herein, along with its binding properties to proteins such as RB and microtubules, and its sequence homology. Further, methods and reagents for assaying the presence of MTAF600 or mutants thereof, pharmaceutical formulations, and methods for treating disease are also described.
