  • Publication number: 20200291486
    Abstract: Gene expression profiling in multiple myeloma patients identifies genes that distinguish between patients with subsequent early death or long survival after treatment. Poor survival is linked to over-expression of genes such as ASPM, OPN3 and CKS1B which are located in chromosome 1q. Given the frequent amplification of 1q in many cancers, it is possible that these genes can be used as powerful prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for multiple myeloma and other cancer.

  • Publication number: 20200270691
    Abstract: Gene expression profiling is a powerful tool that has varied utility. It enables classification of multiple myeloma into subtypes and identifying genes directly involved in disease pathogenesis and clinical manifestation. The present invention used gene expression profiling in large uniformly treated population of patients with myeloma to identify genes associated with poor prognosis. It also demonstrated that over-expression of CKS1B gene, mainly due to gene amplification that was determined by Fluorescent in-situ hybridization to impart a poor prognosis in multiple myeloma. It is further contemplated that therapeutic strategies that directly target CKS1B or related pathways may represent novel, and more specific means of treating high risk myeloma and may prevent its secondary evolution.

  • Publication number: 20200209247
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating cancer in a patient comprising administering an effective amount of a therapeutic agent to the patient, wherein the cancer was determined to contain cells comprising cell marker CD24+. In certain embodiments, the cancer cells also comprise cell markers CD38+ and/or CD45?.
