  • Publication number: 20210292849
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a new biomarker for predicting susceptibility to an EGFR-targeted agent and a use thereof, and more particularly, provides a biomarker for predicting susceptibility to an EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor)-targeted agent, comprising a RON (Recepteur d' Origine Nantais) gene; a composition for predicting susceptibility to the EGFR-targeted agent, comprising an agent which measures a gene expression level of the biomarker; or an expression or activity level of a protein thereof; a composition for enhancing the susceptibility to the EGFR-targeted agent, comprising an inhibitor of the expression of the gene or the expression or activity of the protein of the gene as active ingredients; a kit for predicting the susceptibility to the EGFR-targeted agent, comprising the composition; and a method for predicting the susceptibility to the EGFR-targeted agent.

  • Publication number: 20180180616
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a biomarker for predicting the sensitivity to a protein kinase inhibitor and a use thereof. The present disclosure provides a marker, a composition, and a kit for predicting the sensitivity to a protein kinase inhibitor, and a prediction method thereof. According to the present disclosure, the marker has an excellent effect of predicting the sensitivity to a protein kinase inhibitor, and thus the present disclosure can be useful for cancer treatment.

  • Patent number: 9752151
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for treatment or metastasis suppression of cancers which includes a p34 expression inhibitor or activity inhibitor as an active ingredient. According to the present invention, the p34 protein knock-down causes monoubiquitination of PTEN and accordingly nuclear localization of PTEN is induced, as a result, an Akt pathway which is related to survival, proliferation, invasive properties and metastatic properties of tumors is inhibited, and thus there is an effect of significantly reducing clonogenic potential and tumor forming potential of various cancer cells which simultaneously express PTEN and NEDD4-1. Consequently, the p34 gene expression inhibitor or p34 protein activity inhibitor according to the present invention can be effectively used as a treatment agent or a metastasis suppression agent for cancers.
