  • Patent number: 9944951
    Abstract: Tumor suppressor genes play a major role in the pathogenesis of human lung cancer and other cancers. Cytogenetic and allelotyping studies of fresh tumor and tumor-derived cell lines showed that cytogenetic changes and allele loss on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) are most frequently involved in about 90% of small cell lung cancers and greater than 50% of non-small cell lung cancers. A group of recessive oncogenes, Fus1, 101F6, Gene 21 (NPRL2), Gene 26 (CACNA2D2), Luca 1 (HYAL1), Luca 2 (HYAL2), PL6, 123F2 (RaSSFI), SEM A3 and Beta* (BLU), as defined by homozygous deletions in lung cancers, have been located and isolated at 3p21.3.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110207217
    Abstract: Synthesis of a target transcript of a gene is selectively increased in a mammalian cell by contacting the cell with a polynucleotide oligomer of 12-28 bases complementary to a region within a target promoter of the gene under conditions whereby the oligomer selectively increases synthesis of the target transcript.

  • Patent number: 6979724
    Abstract: The present invention relates to calcium channel compositions and methods of making and using same. In particular, the invention relates to calcium channel alpha2delta (?2?) subunits and nucleic acid sequences encoding them. These compositions are useful in methods for identifying compounds that modulate the activity of calcium channels and for identifying compounds as therapeutic for disease.
