  • Publication number: 20170038384
    Abstract: PDGFRb inhibitors and the use of such inhibitors to treat mutant p53-expressing tumors are described. The present disclosure encompasses the discovery that mutant p53-induced upregulation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor b (PDGFRb) contributes to invasion and/or metastasis of tumors expressing mutant p53. Specifically, the present disclosure encompasses the discovery that mutant p53 can disrupt a p73/NF-Y complex (which can repress PDGFRB transcription), leading to transcription of PDGFRb. The present disclosure therefore provides, at least in part, PDGFRb modulators (e.g., activators or inhibitors) for use in medicine, and specifically in diagnosis, treatment and/or prevention (e.g., delay of onset) of certain disorders, e.g., cancer.

  • Patent number: 8901288
    Abstract: Provided is a single construct combining a sequence encoding an RNAi molecule, a sequence encoding a reporter, and a target sequence specific for the RNAi molecule. The construct can be used to determine the potency of the encoded RNAi molecule in a direct and unbiased way. These results can be used to inform the design of potent RNAi molecules of various types and can be extended to several other applications, including: (1) generation of tiled libraries comprising every possible RNAi molecule-encoding sequence for a given gene target; (2) large-scale parallel validation of RNAi molecules targeting many genes to generate validated RNAi molecule-encoding libraries; (3) experimental comparison of design algorithms and strategies; and (4) investigation of RNAi biology in target site mutagenesis assays by screening pools containing single nucleotide changes in target sites and/or in the RNAi molecule to identify the most relevant sequence characteristics of potent RNAi-target site predictions.

  • Patent number: 8895526
    Abstract: Provided is a mosaic mouse model for use in determining the potency of an shRNA in vivo for reducing survival of cancer cells of chemotherapy-resistant leukemia. The syngeneic mouse recipient is transplanted with tet-on competent leukemia cells carrying a bicistronic nucleic acid construct comprising a promoter operably linked to a fusion gene associated with chemotherapy-resistant leukemia, and a sequence encoding a reverse tet-transactivator protein, such that both coding sequences are co-expressed from the promoter. Also provided are methods of treating soft tissue cancers.

  • Patent number: 8426675
    Abstract: The invention relates to recombinant vectors for inducible and/or tissue specific expression of double-stranded RNA molecules that interfere with the expression of a target gene. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to the use of Tet (tetracycline)-responsive RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoters (e.g., TetON or TetOFF) to direct inducible knockdown in certain cells of an integrated or an endogenous gene, such as p53. The invention also relates to a method for producing transgenic animals (e.g., mice) expressing inducible (such as tetracycline-regulated), reversible, and/or tissue-specific double-stranded RNA molecules that interfere with the expression of a target gene.

  • Patent number: 8137907
    Abstract: This invention provides a genetically tractable in situ non-human animal model for hepatocellular carcinoma. The model is useful, inter alia, in understanding the molecular mechanisms of liver cancer, in understanding the genetic alterations that lead to chemoresistance or poor prognosis, and in identifying and evaluating new therapies against hepatocellular carcinomas. The liver cancer model of this invention is made by altering hepatocytes to increase oncogene expression, to reduce tumor suppressor gene expression or both and by transplanting the resulting hepatocytes into a recipient non-human animal. This invention also relates to the use of RNA interference (RNAi) technology in vivo to efficiently identify genes associated with liver cancer, in particular those encoding tumor suppressors, by knocking out candidate genes using RNAi and observing whether tumors would develop.
