  • Patent number: 9783803
    Abstract: The application relates to the field of cancer, particularly to the field of solid tumors. It was found that a particular long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), NEAT1, an essential architectural component of nuclear paraspeckles, is required for the survival of cancer, but not that of normal, non-transformed, cells. Inhibition of NEAT1 reduces cell viability of cancer cells and induces apoptosis. These data identify NEAT1 as a novel therapeutic target for treatment of solid tumors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2017
    Assignees: VIB VZW, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, K.U. Leuven R&D
    Inventors: Jean-Christophe Marine, Laura Standaert
