Title:
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE FOR MODULATORS OF NECTIN 4, SEMAPHORIN 4B, IGSF9, AND KIAA0152 IN TREATING DISEASE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006014999
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Microarray analysis, confirmed by RT-PCT, demonstrated that mRNA derived from cancerous tissues hybridized specifically and preferentially to human nectin 4, semaphorin 4b, IgSF9, and KIAA0152. Microarray analysis also demonstrated that RNA from malignant bladder, pancreas, and stomach tissue hybridized specifically to human nectin 4, semaphorin 4b, IgSF9, and KIAAO 152, all of which are transmembrane proteins that provide a therapeutic target for treating cancer. Modulators of nectin 4, semaphorin 4b, IgSF9, and KIAAO152 are provided for the diagnosis and treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer and psoriasis. The invention further provides methods of treating cancer with therapeutic agents directed toward nectin 4, semaphorin 4b, IgSF9, and KIAAO152.
