  • Patent number: 9835636
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to serological markers for detecting the colorectal cancer and applications of the serological markers. A phospholipid scramblase1 (PLSCR1), a stomatin-like protein 2 (STOML2) or a transport protein Sec61? (SEC61?) increases expression in the blood at the earlier stage of the colorectal cancer. Detecting the expression of the PLSCR1, STOML2 or SEC61? protein or an induced autoantibody of each protein in a blood sample is used to diagnose the colorectal cancer. Moreover, the serological marker improves the detection efficiency and the sensitivity in detecting the colorectal cancer and is used to predict the prognosis. The serological markers are applied in preparing a detection device or inhibiting the growth of the colorectal cancer cells.

  • Publication number: 20160201138
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method and markers for assessing the risk of having colorectal cancer for an individual by a stool sample. The method includes: detecting expression levels of a first microRNA and a second microRNA in the stool sample; and assessing the risk of having colorectal cancer for the individual based on a ratio between the expression levels of the first microRNA and the second microRNA. Here, the first microRNA is miR-223, miR-25, or miR-93, and the second microRNA is miR-221, miR-222, miR-21, miR-93, miR-141, miR-200c, miR-191, miR-17, miR-148a, miR-106a, miR-195, miR-20a, miR-181b, miR-145, miR-155, miR-106b, miR-24, miR-19b, miR-130b, or miR-18a. When the first microRNA is miR-93, the second microRNA is miR-17, miR-106a, miR-195, miR-20a, miR-181b, miR-155, miR-24, miR-19b, or miR-18a.

  • Publication number: 20160201139
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method and markers for assessing the risk of having colorectal cancer by a blood sample obtained from an individual. The assessment method includes the steps of: detecting expression levels of a first microRNA and a second microRNA in the blood sample; and assessing the risk of having colorectal cancer for the individual based on a ratio between the expression levels of the first microRNA and the second microRNA. Here, the first microRNA is miR-221, miR-92a, miR-15a, miR-24, miR-18a, miR-191, miR-128, or miR-223, and the second microRNA is miR-10b, miR-100, miR-29a, miR-126, miR-139, miR-31, miR-145, or miR-155. When the first microRNA is miR-128, the second microRNA is miR-10b, miR-100, miR-29a, miR-126, miR-139, miR-31, or miR-145.

  • Patent number: 8691229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using inhibitors of phospholipid scramblases (PLSCRs) for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of cancers. The PLSCR-inhibitors of the invention comprise compounds PLSCR-specific monoclonal antibodies, antagonists or nucleic acids, which have ability to decrease the level and/or biological activity of PLSCRs in cancer cells.
