SNAIL, NEW TUMORAL PROGRESSION MARKER AND TARGET PROTEIN OF NEW ANTITUMORAL COMPOUNDS

The Snail transcription factor has been identified as a repressor of the expression of E-cadherin. The expression of Snail induces invasive and metastatic capacity in tumour cells. This invention presents: a new target protein, Snail, for the identification of new antitumoral compounds and a new dia...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The Snail transcription factor has been identified as a repressor of the expression of E-cadherin. The expression of Snail induces invasive and metastatic capacity in tumour cells. This invention presents: a new target protein, Snail, for the identification of new antitumoral compounds and a new diagnostic tumour -marker, indicative of tissue invasion and metastatic capacity. Procedimiento para identificar un compuesto que inhiba la función represora de Snail. El procedimiento consiste en añadir dicho compuesto a las células transformadas con capacidad de expresar el marcador pronóstico Snail, para después determinar la disminución o eliminación total de la capacidad de expresar dicho marcador de pronóstico en esas células transformadas. Por último, se realiza la selección de dicho compuesto para el tratamiento de la invasión y metástasis tumoral si dichas células transformadas presentan una disminución o eliminación total de la expresión de Snail (y una reversión de sus propiedades invasivas y metastásicas).
