LRRTM1 Compositions and Methods of Their Use for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer

Microarray analysis, confirmed by RT-PCR, demonstrated that mRNA from certain cancer tissues, for example, ovarian cancer tissue, pancreatic cancer tissue, and colorectal cancer tissue, hybridizes specifically and preferentially to LRRTM1. LRRTM1 is a leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein overex...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Microarray analysis, confirmed by RT-PCR, demonstrated that mRNA from certain cancer tissues, for example, ovarian cancer tissue, pancreatic cancer tissue, and colorectal cancer tissue, hybridizes specifically and preferentially to LRRTM1. LRRTM1 is a leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells compared to normal tissues and thus provides a therapeutic target for treating cancer. Modulators of LRRTM1, highly expressed in cancerous as compared to normal tissues, are provided for the diagnosis and treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer. The invention further provides methods of treating cancer with therapeutic agents directed toward LRRTM1.
