  • Publication number: 20170260246
    Abstract: A mini-peptide and its analogs have been found to target gene products to tumors. The peptide, named Carcinoma Homing Peptide (CHP), increased the tumor accumulation of the reporter gene products in five independent tumor models, including one human xenogeneic model. A CHP-IL-12 fusion gene was also developed using CHP and the p40 subunit of IL-12. The product from CHP-IL-12 fusion gene therapy increased accumulation of IL-12 in the tumor environment. In three tumor models. CHP-IL-12 gene therapy inhibited distal tumor growth. In a spontaneous lung metastasis model, inhibition of metastatic tumor growth was improved compared to wild-type IL-12 gene therapy, and in a squamous cell carcinoma model, toxic liver lesions were reduced. The receptor for CHP was identified as vimentin. CHP can be used to improve the efficacy and safety of targeted cancer treatments.

  • Publication number: 20070280905
    Abstract: It has been discovered that a sequential administration by intramuscular electroporation of the gene for IL12 followed about 10 days later by the gene for IL27 eradicated tumors in 33% of mice with aggressive 4T1 breast malignancy. In addition, the mice in which the initial tumor was eradicated rejected subsequent challenges with tumor cells. This simple sequential cytokine gene therapy can be used for treating residual malignancy and for inhibiting metastatic tumors. Tumors that respond to this treatment were shown to have the WSX-1 subunit of the IL27 receptor. The responsiveness of tumors containing WSX-1 to the dual IL12?IL27 therapy suggests that WSX-1 receptor may be used as a marker for selection of sensitive populations of tumor cells. Stat1 phosphorylation was shown to be a useful measure for WSX-1 activation in a panel of various cancer cells.

  • Publication number: 20060037088
    Abstract: Uridine phosphorylase is a reliable molecular marker to predict the response of cancer, e.g., squamous cell carcinoma, to treatment with a chemotherapeutic agent or radiation therapy or concomitant treatment with both. Surprisingly, this molecular marker by itself is more accurate than other well-known molecular markers for the prediction of the concomitant chemoradiation response. This marker may be used as a prognostic factor on several types of cancers, including head and neck cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, esophageal cancer, melanoma, and adenocarcinoma. The expression profile of eleven genes may be used to predict the response of cancer cells to chemoradiation therapy.
