A method of treating a tumor (in particular osteosarcoma or Ewing's sarcoma) in a host by administering to a host or to the tumor cells an agent which inhibits cyclin G1 protein in an amount effective to inhibit cyclin G1 protein in tumor cells of the host. The agent may be an antisense polynucleotide which is complementary to at least a portion of a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein, or an antibody or fragment or derivative thereof which recognizes cyclin G1 protein. Also contemplated within the scope of the present invention are (i) the immortalization of cell lines by transducing cells with a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein; (ii) increasing the receptiveness of cells to retroviral infection by transducing cells with a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein; and (iii) the detection of cancer by detecting cyclin G1 protein or a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein in cells. In addition, the present invention provides expression vehicles, such as, for example, retroviral vectors and adenoviral vectors, which include polynucleotides which encode agents which inhibit cyclin G1 protein, and expression vehicles which include a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein.

L'invention porte sur un procédé de traitement de tumeurs (et en particulier de l'ostéosarcome ou sarcome d'Ewing) chez un hôte consistant à lui administrer (ou à ses cellules tumorales) un agent inhibiteur de la cycline G1 à dose efficace pour inhiber ladite protéine chez l'hôte. Ledit agent peut être un polynucléide antisens complémentaire d'au moins une partie d'un polynucléide codant pour la cycline G1 ou son anticorps ou fragment ou dérivé qui reconnaît la cycline G1. L'invention porte également: sur (i) l'immortalisation de lignées de cellules par transduction de cellules à l'aide d'un polynucléide codant pour la cycline G1; (ii) l'accroissement de la réceptivité de cellules à une infection rétrovirale par transduction de cellules à l'aide d'un polynucléide codant pour la cycline G1; et (iii) la détection de cancers par la détection de la cycline G1 ou la détection d'un polypeptide codant pour la cycline G1 dans des cellules. Elle porte en outre sur des véhicules d'expression tels que par exemple des vecteurs rétroviraux et adénoviraux, qui comprennent des polynucléides codant pour des agents inhibiteur de la cycline G1, et sur des véhicules d'expression incluant un polynucléide codant pour la cycline G1.
