  • Publication number: 20120029055
    Abstract: Here we demonstrate that miR-125b, a brain-enriched microRNA, is a negative regulator of p53 in animals. miR-125b-mediated downregulation of p53 is dependent on the binding of miR-125b to a microRNA response element in the 39 untranslated region of p53 mRNA. Overexpression of miR-125b represses the endogenous level of p53 protein and suppresses apoptosis in cells. In contrast, knockdown of miR-125b elevates the level of p53 protein and induces apoptosis in cells. This phenotype can be rescued significantly by either an ablation of endogenous p53 function or ectopic expression of miR-125b in zebrafish. Ectopic expression of miR-125b suppresses the increase of p53 and stress-induced apoptosis. Together, our study demonstrates that miR-125b is an important negative regulator of p53 and p53-induced apoptosis during development and during the stress response.

  • Patent number: 7989434
    Abstract: The present invention provides heterocyclic linker compounds useful for linking drug moieties to ligands. The compounds also include drug-ligand conjugates comprising a ligand capable of targeting a selected cell population, and a drug connected to the ligand by a heterocyclic linker moiety. The linker moiety comprises a peptide sequence that is a substrate for an intracellular enzyme, for example a cathepsin, that cleaves the peptide at an amide bond. The peptide further contains a self-immolating moiety which connects the drug and the protein peptide sequence. Upon cleavage of the peptide sequence by an intracellular enzyme the self-immolating moiety cleaves itself from the drug moiety such that the drug moiety is in an underivatized and active form.

  • Patent number: 7838512
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing cancer cell death using therapeutically effective amounts of DNA damaging agent(s) that act in combination to enhance cancer cell death, e.g., nucleic acid precursors, and protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, e.g., that inhibit EGFR activity. The agents and inhibitors are administered in an amount effective to kill cancer cells, that is, the combined effect is sufficient so that cancer cell death is enhanced. If not administered at the same time, the DNA damaging agent(s) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are administered close enough in time so they are still able to enhance cancer cell death. The methods and compositions are useful to treat neoplastic disease, e.g., pancreatic cancer.
