  • Publication number: 20130196314
    Abstract: A polynucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1 is associated with metastatic potential of cancer cells, especially breast cancer cells. Methods are provided for determining the risk of metastasis of a tumor, by determining whether a tissue sample from a tumor expresses a polypeptide or mRNA encoded by a polynucleotide as shown in SEQ ID NO:1. Also provided are therapeutic methods and compositions.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7867731
    Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides, as well as polypeptides encoded thereby, that are differentially expressed in cancer cells. These polynucleotides are useful in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The present invention further provides methods of reducing growth of cancer cells. These methods are useful for treating cancer.

  • Patent number: 6566063
    Abstract: The invention features methods for detection of metastatic and potentially metastatic cancerous cells by detection of expression of a gland-specific Ets transcription factor (GSEF) sequence, which encodes an Ets-domain containing protein. The invention also features methods and compositions for modulation of the polypeptide and/or gene activity for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes, such as inhibition of progression of a cell to a metastatic cancerous cell.
