  • Publication number: 20220127680
    Abstract: This disclosure presents methods and reagents for cancer prognosis and treatment based on APOE genotyping. Specifically, the presence of the APOE2 genotype is indicative of a poor prognosis for the subject, whereas the presence of the APOE4 genotype is indicative of a good prognosis for the subject. The disclosed methods and reagents are useful for treating cancer and for making medical and clinical decisions on adjuvant therapy, tumor surveillance, and the likelihood of disease progression.

  • Patent number: 9874553
    Abstract: A novel method which integrates a “sensitized” chemical genetic high-throughput screen (HTS) with RNA interference (RNAi) screening technology is described herein. The present inventors used this method to identify specific small molecule inhibitors and activators of the Wnt pathway. More particularly, the screening method of the present invention may be used to identify small molecule inhibitors and activators that specifically target the activity of a stabilized pool of ?-catenin. A number of compounds identified using the instant method, are shown herein to be small molecule inhibitors of the Wnt pathway that specifically target the activity of the stabilized pool of ?-cat. The inhibitors identified by the present method may be prepared as pharmaceutical compositions, and may be used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of conditions in mammals including humans, including by way of non-limiting example, cancer, and others.
