  • Patent number: 10316319
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for diagnosis of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer and the use thereof, and more particularly to a composition for diagnosis of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, which comprises either a substance for measuring the mRNA level of CCL7 (Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7) gene or a substance for measuring the level of a protein which is encoded by the gene. According to the present disclosure, whether liver metastasis of colorectal cancer occurred can be diagnosed by measuring the mRNA expression level of the CCL7 gene or the expression level of the CCL7 protein, and the use of the composition comprising an inhibitor of CCL7 gene allows the treatment of colorectal cancer or the liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.

  • Patent number: 8486905
    Abstract: Provided are a composition for diagnosing cancer or screening an anticancer drug comprising an FLJ25416 gene or an antibody directed to a protein expressed from the FLJ25416 gene, a composition for treating cancer comprising an inhibitor of the gene or an inhibitor of the protein expressed from the gene and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a kit for diagnosing cancer comprising at least one of the FLJ25416 gene and the protein expressed from the FLJ25416 gene. The FLJ25416 gene is expressed at high level in specific cancer cells, and induces an increase in proliferation rate of normal cells. The expression of the gene is suppressed, which results in an inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth. Thus, the FLJ25416 gene can be used as a target gene for diagnosis or treatment of cancer.

  • Publication number: 20110251097
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for diagnosing colon cancer. The composition comprises at least one marker for measuring an mRNA or protein expression level of at least one gene specific for colon cancer. It can screen the genes which are overexpressed specifically only in colon cancer tissues or blood. The present invention can quantitatively analyze both the mRNA expression levels of the genes and the expression levels of the proteins encoded by the gene at the same time, thereby diagnosing colon caner of an early stage with a high level of reliability.
