Abstract: A gene that is a modulator of tumor growth and metastasis in certain cancer types is provided. This gene and corresponding polypeptide have diagnostic and therapeutic application for detecting and treating cancers that involve expression of BRCC-3 such as breast cancer and lung cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of oligonucleotide containing cationic liposomal formulations to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, particularly as a means to sensitize cancerous tumor tissues to the efficiencies of chemotherapy. This is particularly advantageous in the context of treating raf expressing tumors such as breast, lung, pancreatic and prostate tumors.

Abstract: It is possible to radiosensitize tumor cells by administration of compositions containing the Human antisense c-raf-1 oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN/oligo) sequence: 5?-GTGCTCCATTGATGC-3? (SEQ. ID. NO: 1) wherein only the end bases are phosphorothioated is a preferred embodiment. Antisense sequences of up to 40 bases which contain this sequence, such as 5?-CCTGTATGTGCTCCATTGATGCAGC-3? (SEQ ID NO: 2) may be used in accord with the teachings of this disclosure. Compositions comprising a cationic liposome of dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide, phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol may be used as a carrier system. The liposomes provide a new carrier system that is particularly useful for administration of sequences for therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel cationic lipid formulations and use thereof for treatment of cancer, especially in combination with radiation.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of oliognucleotide containing cationic liposomal formulations to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, particularly as a means to chemosensitize cancer are tumor tissues to the efficiencies of chemotherapy. This is particularly advantageous in the context of treatment of ras expressing tumors such as breast, lung, pancreatic and prostate cancer.

Abstract: It is possible to radiosensitize tumor cells by administration of compositions containing the Human antisense c-raf-1 oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN/oligo) sequence: 5′-GTGCTCCATTGATGC-3′ (seq. #1) wherein only the end bases are phosphorylated is a preferred embodiment. Antisense sequences of up to 40 bases which containing this sequence may be used in accord with the teachings of this disclosure. Compositions comprising a cationic liposome of dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide, phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol may be used as a carrier system.
