CA 2538461

The present invention relates to the significant functional role of several C. elegans genes and of their corresponding gene products in spindle formation or microtubule function during cell division that could be identified by means of RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) and to the identification and isolation of functional orthologs of said genes including all biologically functional derivatives thereof The invention further relates to the use of said genes and gene products (including said orthologs) in the development or isolation of anti-proliferative agents, particularly their use in appropriate screening assays, and their use for diagnosis and treatment of proliferative and other diseases. In particular, the invention relates to the use of small interfering RNAs derived from said genes for the treatment of proliferative diseases.

La présente invention concerne le rôle fonctionnel important de plusieurs gènes de C. elegans et de leurs produits géniques correspondants dans la formation du fuseau ou la fonction des microtubules pendant la division cellulaire, ces gènes ou produits géniques étant identifiables par interférence médiée par l'ARN (RNAi), ainsi que l'identification et l'isolement d'orthologues fonctionnels desdits gènes renfermant tous leurs dérivés biologiquement fonctionnels. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation de ces gènes et de ces produits géniques (y compris lesdits orthologues) dans le développement ou l'isolement d'agents antiprolifératifs, et notamment leur utilisation dans des essais de criblage appropriés ainsi que leur utilisation pour le diagnostic et le traitement de maladies prolifératives et d'autre maladies. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne l'utilisation de petits ARN interférents dérivés desdits gènes pour le traitement de maladies prolifératives.
