  • Patent number: 9238040
    Abstract: A method for preventing colorectal cancer in a patient possessing human tropomyocin isoform TC22 is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) detecting a serum protein concentration of TC22 in a patient and (b) administering to said patient prior to detecting colorectal cancer in said patient a therapeutically effective amount of a chemotherapeutic composition comprising a chemotherapeutic compound that reduces the level of TC22, wherein the chemotherapeutic compound is selected from the group consisting of sulfasalazine, 5-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, osalazine, and balsalazide.

  • Patent number: 7285630
    Abstract: A novel isoform of tropomyosin is disclosed. The isoform is closely related to epithelial human tropomyosin (hTM) and more particularly to hTM5 except the last coding exon. The novel isoform, is called TC22. Northern blot analysis with TC22-specific probe revealed that normal culture cell lines and normal epithelial tissues expressed very little, if at all, TC22 message, whereas their transformed counterparts and tumor tissues including dysfunction of the alimentary canal, significantly increased the expression of TC22. Assays directed at determining the level of TC22 are useful in diagnostics and therapeutics of dysfunction of the alimentary canal. Specific antibodies and mimics for TC22 are also disclosed for use in diagnostics and therapeutics of dysfunction of the alimentary canal.
