Patent

CA 2644426

Disclosed are methods involving the administration of an extracellular matrix (ECM)/metastasis modifier gene, e.g., Anakin, Necdin, CentaurinD3 (CentD3), Csf1r, Brd4, Pi16, and Luc7l, for the prevention or inhibition of metastasis or of tumor growth. Further disclosed are methods of characterizing a tumor or cancer in a subject comprising detecting (i) a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in an Anakin gene or a Brd4 gene of the subject, (ii) an amino acid substitution in an Anakin protein in the subject, or (iii) a level of expression of an Anakin gene or a Brd4 gene in the subject. Methods of screening a compound for anti-cancer activity and use of a compound with anti-cancer activity for the preparation of a medicament to treat or prevent cancer in a subject are also disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of inhibiting Sipa-1 in a subject.

L'invention concerne des procédés impliquant l'administration d'un gène modificateur de la matrice extracellulaire (MEC)/de métastase, par exemple Anakin, Necdin, CentaurinD3 (CentD3), Csf1r, Brd4, Pi16 et Luc7l, pour la prévention ou l'inhibition de la métastase ou de la croissance tumorale. Elle concerne en outre des procédés de caractérisation d'une tumeur ou d'un cancer chez un sujet, comprenant la détection (i) d'un polymorphisme nucléotidique simple (PNS) dans un gène Anakin ou un gèneBrd4 du sujet, (ii) d'une substitution d'acides aminés dans une protéine Anakin du sujet, ou (iii) d'un niveau d'expression d'un gène Anakin ou d'un gène Brd4 chez le sujet. L'invention concerne également des procédés de criblage d'un composé en fonction de son activité anticancéreuse, ainsi que l'utilisation d'un composé ayant une activité anticancéreuse pour préparer un médicament destiné au traitement ou la prévention d'un cancer chez un sujet. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé d'inhibition de Sipa-1 chez un sujet.
