  • Method of identifying and treating invasive carcinomas
    Patent number: 6864093
    Abstract: Prostasin protein has been found to be a useful marker for determination of the invasiveness of and as a means to treat human carcinomas. Using RT-PCR and western blot analyses, prostasin protein and mRNA expression were found in normal human prostate epithelial cells and the human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, but not in the highly invasive human prostate cancer cell lines DU-145 and PC-3. Imunohistochemistry studies of human prostate cancer specimens revealed a down-regulation of prostasin in high-grade tumors. Using RT-PCR and western blot analyses, prostasin protein and mRNA expression were found in a non-invasive human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, while invasive human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435s were found not to express either the prostasin protein or the mRNA. A non-invasive human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-453, was shown to express prostasin mRNA but not prostasin protein.

  • Tissue kallikrein gene promoter polymorphisms
    Patent number: 6747140
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of identifying a human subject as having an increased likelihood of regulating blood pressure with dietary sodium intake, comprising determining the presence in the subject of a tissue kallikrein promoter allele genotype correlated with an increased likelihood of regulating blood pressure with dietary sodium intake, whereby the presence of the genotype identifies the subject as having an increased likelihood of regulating blood pressure by dietary sodium intake.
