Abstract: The use of interleukin 17E to inhibit tumor growth in a subject is provided. The interleukin 17E can be provided to the subject exogenously, as an interleukin 17E polypeptide or a polynucleotide encoding an interleukin 17E polypeptide, or it can be provided by stimulating production of endogenous interleukin 17E. Also provided is the use of interleukin 17E in combination with one or more anti-cancer therapeutics for inhibiting tumor growth in a subject. Anti-cancer therapeutics include, for example, standard chemotherapeutic drugs, immunotherapeutics, radiation, gene therapy, hormone manipulation and antisense therapy.

Abstract: 2-indolyl imidazo[4,5-d]phenanthroline compounds of Formula I that are capable of intracellular chelation of transition metals and of exerting antiproliferative effects in cancer cells, that are cytostatic and/or cytotoxic, are provided. Compounds of Formula I can also induce apoptosis in cancer cells and are thus capable of exerting a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. The compounds of Formula I are also capable of selectively inhibiting the proliferation of one or more of prostate cancer cells, colon cancer cells, non-small lung cancer cells and leukemia cells. The compounds of Formula I are also capable of increasing the expression of the zinc-regulated tumour suppressor, KLF4 and thus are useful in inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells in which KLF4 functions as a tumour-suppressor, including, but not limited to, bladder cancer, cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and various leukemias.
