Patent

CA 2412736

The present invention provides an assay for a modulator of cell cycle progression, which comprises: a) bringing into contact a TBX2 protein, an ARF promoter TBX-2 binding region and a putative inhibitor compound under conditions where the TBX2 protein and the binding region, in the absence of inhibitor, are capable of forming a complex; and b) measuring the degree of inhibition of binding or transcriptional activation caused by said inhibitor compound.The invention further provides a method for the diagnosis or prognosis of breast cancer which method comprises determining the amount of TBX2 nucleic acid or protein in a cell which cell is, or is suspected to be, a breast tumour cell or metastatic cell from a breast tumour.

L'invention concerne une analyse pour un modulateur de progression de cycle cellulaire, laquelle consiste a) à mettre en contact une protéine TBX2, une région liant TBX-2 du promoteur d'ARF et un composé inhibiteur putatif, dans des conditions dans lesquelles la protéine TBX2 et la région de liaison, en l'absence d'inhibiteur, peuvent former un complexe, et b) à mesurer le degré d'inhibition de l'activation de liaison ou de l'activation transcriptionnelle provoquée par ledit composé inhibiteur. L'invention concerne également un procédé de diagnostic ou de pronostic du cancer du sein, lequel procédé consiste à déterminer la quantité d'acide nucléique TBX2 ou de protéine TBX2 dans une cellule, laquelle cellule est, ou est soupçonnée d'être, une cellule d'une tumeur du sein ou une cellule métastatique d'une tumeur du sein.
