Abstract: IGF1R biomarkers useful in a method for identifying and monitoring a mammal that will respond therapeutically to a method of treating cancer comprising administering an IGF1R modulator, wherein the method comprises (a) exposing the mammal to the IGF1R modulator and (b) measuring in the mammal the level of the at least one biomarker, wherein a difference in the level of the at least one biomarker measured in (b) compared to the level of the biomarker in a mammal that has not been exposed to the IGF1R modulator indicates that the mammal will respond therapeutically to the method of treating cancer and (c) wherein the level of the biomarker in a mammal after exposure to a IGF1R modulator indicates that the mammal has responded therapeutically to the method of treating cancer.

Abstract: Methods for increasing endothelial cell apoptosis under hypoxic conditions in a patient undergoing a treatment that comprises an IGF1R inhibitor, the method comprising administering to the patient a VEGFR2 inhibitor

Abstract: Fused cyclic compounds, methods of using such compounds in the treatment of nuclear hormone receptor-associated conditions such as cancer and immune disorders, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.

Abstract: The first crystal structure of the androgen receptor ligand binding domain has been determined to 2.0 angstrom resolution. Disclosed are the coordinates for the crystal structure, and methods for determining agonists, partial agonists, antagonists, partial antagonists and selective androgen receptors modulators (SARMs) of the androgen receptor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to newly discovered human histone deacetylases (HDACs), also referred to as histone deacetylase-like polypeptides. The polynucleotide sequences and encoded polypeptides of the novel HDACs are encompassed by the invention, as well as vectors comprising these polynucleotides and host cells comprising these vectors. The invention also relates to antibodies that bind to the disclosed HDAC polypeptides, and methods employing these antibodies. Also related are methods of screening for modulators, such as inhibitors or antagonists, or agonists. The invention also relates to diagnostic and therapeutic applications which employ the disclosed HDAC polynucleotides, polypeptides, and antibodies, and HDAC modulators. Such applications can be used with diseases and disorders associated with abnormal cell growth or proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell survival, e.g., neoplastic cell growth, and especially breast and prostate cancers or tumors.

Abstract: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) having antagonist activity in hormone-dependent tumors while exhibiting no activity or agonist activity against other nontumor tissues containing the androgen receptor as well as methods for identifying, designing and using SARMs are provided.

Abstract: A transgenic non-human mammal whose genome comprises a nucleic acid construct, wherein said construct comprises a reporter nucleic acid encoding a reporter operably linked to a promoter comprising an androgen response element (ARE), and said construct further comprises an androgen receptor nucleic acid encoding an androgen receptor, and wherein expression of said reporter nucleic acid is regulated by expression of said androgen receptor nucleic acid. The transgenic non-human mammals can be used as an in vivo model for the identification and development of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) for the treatment of cancer or other disorders associated with defective androgen receptor function.
