| Technology Name (St. Jude Reference #) | Cyclin C variants and diagnostic and therapeutic uses thereof (SJ-99-0011) |
| Description | This invention describes a truncated cyclin C protein that acts as an endogenous cyclin C inhibitor which can be used to develop diagnostic and therapeutic treatments for a number of different cancers. The level of truncated cyclin C expression in tumors can be modulated by either increasing (through the use of gene therapy vectors) or decreasing (using anti-sense RNA technology) the amount of truncated cyclin C protein within the cancerous cells. In addition, this invention could also be developed into a preventive treatment in precancerous lesions that are known to progress into cancer, such as dysplasias of the cervix, esophagus and lung, by manipulating the level of truncated cyclin C expression. |
