Title:
METHOD FOR SCREENING FOR CANCER THERAPEUTIC AGENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/159377
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for screening for a cancer therapeutic agent, which is a molecule targeting drug capable of targeting any one of great many target protein candidates, among from the target protein candidates without requiring the identification of a true target protein. The present invention can solve the above-mentioned problem by providing a method for screening for a cancer therapeutic agent, said method comprising the steps of: (i) measuring the expression amount of a transposable element in a cancer cell of interest while contacting or non-contacting the transposable element with a test substance; and (ii), when the expression amount of the transposable element under the contacting with a test substance is increased compared with that under the non-contacting with the test substance, selecting the test substance as a cancer therapeutic agent.
