Methods And Compositions For Topoisomerase I Modulated Tumor Suppression

US Patent:
8431353, Apr 30, 2013
Filed:
Oct 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/898872
Inventors:
Ruth A. Gjerset - San Diego CA, US
Keya Bandyopadhyay - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
RG Biopharma LLC - San Diego CA
International Classification:
G01N 33/574
C12Q 1/00
A01N 43/42
US Classification:
435 723, 435 4, 514283
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for determining the sensitivity or enhancing the sensitivity of cells to the effects of topoisomerase I inhibitors. Also disclosed are methods and compositions for inducing cell death, apoptosis and/or growth arrest which may be used for tumor suppression.

Enhancing The Sensitivity Of Tumor Cells To Therapies

US Patent:
2002000, Jan 17, 2002
Filed:
Jan 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/769752
Inventors:
Robert Sobol - Rancho Santa Fe CA, US
Ruth Gjerset - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61K048/00
US Classification:
514/044000
Abstract:
A method for enhancing the effect of a cancer therapy by introducing wild-type therapy-sensitizing gene activity into tumor cells having mutant therapy-sensitizing gene activity and subjecting the tumor cells to a cancer therapy such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy including immunotherapy, cryotherapy and hyperthermia.

US Patent:
2005003, Feb 10, 2005
Filed:
Nov 19, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/717845
Inventors:
Ruth Gjerset - San Diego CA, US
Yinghui Huang - San Diego CA, US
Neshat Saadatmandi - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61K048/00
A61K009/127
C12N015/86
US Classification:
514044000, 424450000, 435320100, 435456000
Abstract:

Down-Regulation Of Dna Repair To Enhance Sensitivity To P53-Mediated Suppression

US Patent:
2005009, May 5, 2005
Filed:
May 10, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/842718
Inventors:
Ruth Gjerset - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61K048/00
A61K038/17
C12N015/861
US Classification:
424093200, 435456000, 514012000
Abstract:
The present invention details methods for the treatment of cancer. In particular, it concerns the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells following treatment with inhibitors of DNA repair in combination with p53 gene therapy. Treatment of glioblastoma and breast tumor cells with inhibitors of DNA repair induced growth suppression that was a result of p53-mediated apoptosis. Thus it appears that inhibitors of DNA repair in combination with p53 gene therapy is involved in restoration of p53-mediated apoptosis.
