Abstract: A method for identifying a compound that inhibits an activity of a histone lysine demethylase, in which the compound interacts with three sites of a pocket of the histone lysine demethylase generated by using a computer program, an alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), a methylated lysine, and a NIQ.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting activity of a protein selected from the group consisting of KDM4A, KDM4B, and KDM4C, comprising the step of exposing the protein to an effective inhibiting amount of a compound having the formula wherein R1 is H or C7O5H8; R2 is H, OH, or OCH3; and R3 is H or OH. The present invention also relates to a method for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder in which modulation of KDM4A, KDM4B, or KDM4C is beneficial, which method comprises administering to a subject suffering from said disease, condition, or disorder a therapeutically-effective amount of: a) a compound having the formula wherein R1 is H or C7O5H8; R2 is H, OH, or OCH3; and R3 is H or OH; or b) a composition comprising the compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, vehicle, or carrier.

Abstract: The invention is related to LncHIFCAR (long noncoding HIF-1? co-activating RNA)/MIR31HG and its applications in cancer diagnosis, cancer therapy, prognosis predication of a cancer and determination of therapeutic regimen of a cancer. The present invention identifies a hypoxia-inducible lncRNA, LncHIFCAR (long noncoding HIF-1? co-activating RNA)/MIR31HG, and describes its oncogenic role as a HIF-1? co-activator that regulates the HIF-1 transcriptional network, crucial for cancer development.

Abstract: Autophagy is the principal catabolic response to nutrient starvation. However, excessive autophagy can be cytotoxic or cytostatic, and contribute to cell death, but its mechanism of induction remains elusive. Here, it was demonstrated that prolonged arginine starvation by ADI-PEG20 induced an autophagy-dependent death of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Consequently, arginine depleting agents such as ADI-PEG20 may be used in methods for killing one or more argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Further, abundance of ASS1 was either low or absent in more than 60% of 149 random breast cancer biosamples, which could be exploited as candidates for arginine starvation therapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying a compound that inhibits an activity of a histone lysine demethylase.

Abstract: Several related methods for multiplexed detection of one or more posttranslational modifications of a plurality of proteins are provided. Methods for detecting one or more nucleic acid binding proteins are also provided. Use of such methods (e.g., methods of detecting phosphorylation of protein kinases) for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of disease is also included. Compositions, systems and kits that relate to each of the methods are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for characterizing the expression patterns of genes and gene families. Specifically, the present invention provides means to generate and monitor gene expression profiles resulting from cellular and physiological changes such that the expression patterns of individual genes or groups of genes can be readily identified and characterized.

Abstract: A gene encoding for A antigen precursor, derived from a Avian herpesvirus, is described. The gene is preferably isolated from a Marek's disease herpesvirus virus (MDHV) and is approximately 1.8-1.9 kbp, found on a DNA fragment of about 2.35 kbp in size. The gene can be used as a building block for vaccines, directly as a diagnostic hybridization probe, to facilitate preparation of diagnostic test kits for MDHV by antigen production and subsequent antibody production, and as a potential source of regulatory elements such as signal peptides or promoters for use with other proteins.
