Polycomb-Associated Non-Coding RNAs
This invention relates to long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), libraries of those ncRNAs that bind chromatin modifiers, such as Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, inhibitory nucleic acids and methods and compositions for targeting lncRNAs.
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING SETMAR INHIBITOR FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING CANCER
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a SETMAR inhibitor for preventing or treating cancer. It has been identified that if SETMAR is inhibited in cancer cells, carcinogenesis reversion, which is the differentiation of cancer cells into normal cells, is successfully achieved, and thus, unlike conventional anticancer agents that simply induce cancer cell death, the present invention can be effectively used as a treatment method excluding the side effect of normal cell death that can occur during anticancer treatment, and converting cancer cells into normal cells.
PERMANENT EPIGENETIC GENE SILENCING
A product comprising two or more artificial transcription repressors (ATRs), or polynucleotides encoding therefor, selected from groups (a), (b), (c) or (d): (a) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a KRAB domain or homologue thereof; (b) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a DNMT3A, DNMT3B or DNMT1 domain or homologue thereof; (c) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a DNMT3L domain or homologue thereof; and (d) an ATR comprising a DNA-binding domain operably linked to a SETDB1 domain or homologue thereof, wherein at least two of the ATRs are selected from different groups (a), (b), (c) or (d).
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS RELATED TO THE METHYLATION OF HISTONE H1.0 PROTEIN
Provided herein are compositions and methods related to the production and detection of a histone H1.0 protein dimethylated at lysine residue 180 (K180) (H1.0K180me2 protein) or a histone H1.0 peptide dimethylated at a lysine residue corresponding to K180 (H1.0K180me2 peptides). The H1.0K180me2 protein and H1.0K180me2 peptides are useful for applications including, but not limited to, molecular diagnostics of DNA damage, genotoxic stress, radiation exposure, and Alzheimer's disease, therapeutics, monitoring of therapeutic regimens, patient stratification, and drug screening. Also provided herein are antibodies specific for the H1.0K180me2 protein and H1.0K180me2 peptides.
RNA-regulated fusion proteins and methods of their use
The present disclosure is directed to RNA-regulated fusion proteins comprising a protein of interest and an RNA-regulated destabilization domain. Also disclosed are RNA aptamers that bind specifically to a RNA-regulated destabilization domain. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the RNA-regulated fusion proteins and RNA aptamers and methods of use thereof are also disclosed.
Methods and compositions for modulating gene expression
The present disclosure provides compositions with a modulating gene expression and methods for modulating transcription.
Methods and compositions for modulating gene expression
The present disclosure provides compositions with a modulating gene expression and methods for modulating transcription.
Detection of molecular associations
In some embodiments, methods of detecting an association between a query protein and a target moiety are described. In some embodiments, compositions are described. In some embodiments, kits are described.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMMUNE CELL MODULATION IN ADOPTIVE CELL THERAPY
The disclosure relates to adoptive cell therapy compositions including a population of isolated immune cells that are obtained from a donor subject. The immune cells can be modified to suppress Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK), delta isoform of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), helios, blimp1, SOCS1, GATA3, IL-10, STAT3, TOX, CD25, foxp3, Ezh2, TGF-beta Receptor II, LAG-3, PD-1, TNF-alpha, or combinations thereof. The immune cells are optionally depleted of CD8+ T cells by about 10-fold or greater relative to un-depleted leukocytes.
