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.

Application of GSK503 in preparing drug for treating RB (Retinoblastoma)

The invention belongs to the field of treating RB (Retinoblastoma), and particularly relates to application of GSK503 in preparing a drug for treating the RB. In the drug, the final concentration of the GSK503 is greater than or equal to 1 mu M. The GSK503 is a novel EZH2 (Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2) small-molecule inhibitor, and an applicant experimentally finds that the GSK503 is capable of remarkably inhibiting the growth of the RB, and the methylation degree of H3K27me3 in cells is reduced through inhibiting the EZH2, so that cancer suppressor genes can be in re-expression, and the effect of inhibiting the tumor growth is reached. Effective treatment concentration can be reached when the final concentration of the GSK503 reaches 1 mu M, the use effect of the drug is increased while the concentration is increased, and the growth of the RB can be remarkably inhibited.

Animal models of retinal tumorigenesis

Complimentary animal models for retinoblastoma which recapitulate conditions found in the eye of human retinoblastoma patients in an animal are provided. These models are generated by introducing an agent capable of giving rise to a retinoblastoma into the developing eye of an immunologically naive animal. In one model the agent comprises cells which are capable of giving rise to a retinoblastoma. In another model the agent comprises a vector capable of expressing an oncogene which, when expressed in a transfected cell, can give rise to a cell mass that mimics the early stages of retinoblastoma formation. These models can be used to study retinoblastoma and screen for, or characterize, inhibitory agents. These models may also be used to study the influence of genotype or engineered genes or gene deficiencies (knock-outs) on the development of retinoblastoma.
