The invention provides a method for identifying one or more genes in a cell of a cell type which interact with, e.g., modulate the effect of, an agent, e.g., a drug. For example, an identified gene may confer resistance or sensitivity to a drug, i.e., reduces or enhances the effect of the drug. The invention also provides STK6 and TPX2 as a gene that exhibits synthetic lethal interactions with KSP encoding a kinesin-like motor protein, and methods and compositions for treatment of diseases, e.g., cancers, by modulating the expression of STK6 or TPX2 gene and/or the activity of STK6 or TPX2 gene product. The invention also provides genes involved in cellular response to DNA damage, and their therapeutic uses.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'identifier, dans une cellule d'un type spécifique, au moins un gène en interaction avec un agent, en l'occurrence un gène modulant l'effet d'un médicament. Ce gène peut notamment conférer de la résistance ou de la sensibilité face à un médicament, et notamment atténuer ou renforcer l'effet du médicament. L'invention concerne également, d'une part STK6 et TPX2 en tant qu'un gène qui présente des interactions létales synthétiques avec KSP codant une protéine motrice de type kinésine, et d'autre part des procédés et compositions pour le traitement d'affections, notamment les cancers, par modulation de l'expression du gène STK6 ou TPX2 et/ou l'activité du produit du gène STK6 ou TPX2. L'invention concerne enfin des gènes impliqués dans la réponse cellulaire aux atteintes de l'ADN, et leurs utilisations thérapeutiques.
