Patents by Inventor Ying-Hwa CHANG

Ying-Hwa CHANG has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9194005
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and biomarker for evaluating cancer metastasis, pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting cancer metastasis, and method for analyzing secretome. By combining a hollow fiber cartridge (HFC) culture system with quantitative proteomics technology, cancer metastasis-related secrectomes can be found. Furthermore, this is the first time to use PARK7 as a biomarker for judging the process of non-small cell lung cancer.

  • Patent number: 8912155
    Abstract: A method for analyzing secretome, a biomarker for lung cancer metastasis, and a siRNA compound for inhibiting lung cancer metastasis are disclosed. The method for analyzing secretome of the present invention comprises the following steps: (A) collecting proteome secreted from a cell; (B) providing a purification gel, wherein the purification gel comprises a low-density layer, and a high-density layer, and the low-density layer is stacked on the high-density layer; (C) adding the proteome on the low-density layer, and separating the proteome through the low-density layer and the high-density layer of the purification gel; (D) collecting the separated proteome on the interface between the low-density layer and high-density layer, and tagging the separated proteome with a reagent after digestion; and (E) analyzing the separated proteome tagged with the reagent, and comparing an analysis result with a proteomic database.

  • Publication number: 20130071856
    Abstract: A method and biomarker for evaluating metastasis, and an siRNA compound for inhibiting metastasis. The method of the present invention includes: providing a sample of a subject, which includes a normal tissue and a tissue to be detected; detecting expression of a biomarker of the normal tissue and the tissue to be detected, respectively, wherein the biological marker is SERPINA1; and comparing the expression of the biological marker of the normal tissue and the tissue to be detected. When the expression of the biological marker of the tissue to be detected is higher than the normal tissue, it represents that the subject is at a risk of suffering from metastasis.
