Patent

CA 2265889

The invention provides a human E25a protein which is upregulated in cancerous cells, including those of hormone refractory prostate cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer or other cancers of epithelial origin. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding E25a protein, nucleic acid probes which hybridize with nucleic acid molecules encoding E25a protein, and antibodies which bind E25a protein. E25a protein and its related molecules can be useful as diagnostic markers of cancer, including hormone refractory prostate cancer, and as specific therapeutic targets in this disease. The invention also provides methods for diagnosing cancer, including hormone refractory prostate cancer.

La présente invention a pour objet la protéine E25a chez l'homme régulée positivement dans les cellules cancéreuses, en particulier dans les cellules du cancer de la prostate réfractaire aux hormones, du cancer du colon, du cancer du sein ou d'autres cancers d'origine épithéliale. La présente invention a également pour objet des molécules d'acide nucléique codant la protéine E25a, des sondes d'acide nucléique s'hybridant avec des molécules d'acide nucléique codant la protéine E25a, et des anticorps se liant à la protéine E25a. Ladite protéine E25a et les molécules s'y rapportant peuvent être utiles en tant que marqueurs pour le diagnostic du cancer, notamment du cancer de la prostate réfractaire aux hormones, et en tant que cibles thérapeutiques spécifiques dans le cadre de cette maladie. La présente invention a également pour objet des procédés de diagnostic du cancer, notamment du cancer de la prostate réfractaire aux hormones.
