  • Patent number: 11241679
    Abstract: An ordered macroporous metal-organic framework single crystals and a preparation method therefor. In the method, a three-dimensional structure constructed by polymer microspheres is used as a template; 2-methylimidazole and zinc nitrate, precursors of MOFs, are firstly deposited in the three-dimensional template; the three-dimensional template containing the precursors is soaked in a mixed solution of ammonia water and methanol subsequently, and the three-dimensional template is taken out after crystallization; the three-dimensional template is soaked in an organic solvent to remove the macromolecular three-dimensional template, and the ordered macroporous MOF single crystals is obtained through centrifugal separation. The ordered macroporous MOF single crystals have a basic framework of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, and structurally include highly-ordered macro-pores whose pore size may be controlled to be between 50 and 2000 nm based on a size of the used template.

  • Publication number: 20110130302
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for preparing drug response and/or resistance profiles for breast tumor specimens, or cells derived therefrom. The drug response and/or resistance profiles are useful for determining effective chemotherapeutic agents for treatment of the tumor or cell to thereby individualize patient therapy. In other aspects, the invention provides a method for identifying a pathway or gene expression signature indicative of a breast cancer cell's sensitivity to a chemotherapeutic agent, which is useful for identifying a population response rate, or patient sub-population likely to respond to the drug candidate.

  • Publication number: 20110129822
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for preparing a gene expression profile of a breast cancer cell, tumor, or cell line, where the gene expression profile may be evaluated for one or more gene expression signatures indicative of multidrug resistance. The signature may be indicative of resistance to one or more chemotherapeutic agents selected from a Taxol (e.g., Docetaxel or Paclitaxel), an antibiotic (e.g., Doxorubicin or Epirubicin), an antimetabolite (e.g., Fluorouracil and/or Gemcitabine), and an alkylating agent (e.g., Cyclophosphamide). Generally, the gene expression profile contains the level of expression for a plurality of genes listed in FIGS. 3, 4, and/or 5. Gene expression profiles for evaluating multidrug resistance for ER positive and ER negative breast cancers are also provided.
