Problems solved by technology

However, these protein markers apparently do not distinguish BPH from prostate cancer (Partin et al., 1993, Cancer Res., 53:744-746)
Unfortunately, markers that cannot distinguish between benign and malignant prostate tumors are of no value

Embodiment 1

[0313] Example 1: Identification of prostate cancer markers

[0314] Materials and Methods

[0315] RNA preparation

[0316] RNA was prepared from samples derived from prostate tumor specimens, normal prostate specimens, non-prostate tumor specimens, and non-prostate normal specimens. Frozen tissue blocks are sectioned and RNA is isolated from the samples. Total RNA was extracted from frozen tissues using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA), followed by a second purification step using Qiagen's RNeasy kit to increase the labeling efficiency of RNA probes (Qiagen, Valencia CA). Only RNA with a 28S / 18S ribosomal RNA ratio of at least 1.0 calculated from ethidium staining of the RNA after agarose gel electrophoresis was used in this study.

[0317] cDNA microarray hybridization

[0318] A cDNA microarray containing 30,732 single gene clones from Research Genetics (Hunstville, AL) was formed on nylon filters. Using a total of 4-6 μg total RNA as template, use 33 Radio...

Embodiment 2

[0346] Example 2: Gene expression analysis by endpoint PCR

[0347] Materials and Methods

[0348] End point PCR analysis

[0349] Briefly, total RNA from different samples was pooled and used as a template for first-strand cDNA generation. Equivalent amounts of each sample are included in the library. The prostate screening group consists of "prostate tumor bank" (3 prostate tumor patient samples), "prostate normal bank" (5 normal prostate epithelial patient samples), "other normal bank" (from normal heart, kidney, small intestine, spleen, WBC , 1 sample each of patient tissue samples of lung, liver, brain, bone marrow, and colon tissue), and "other tumor banks" (4 cervical cancer, 5 colon tumors, 8 different types of lung cancer patient samples, 4 ovarian tumor samples, and 5 prostate tumor samples) patient sample composition (eg, see Table 3).

[0350] Total RNA was prepared from patient samples by a one-step extraction method using TRIZOL reagent according to the instr...

Abstract

The invention relates to newly discovered nucleic acid molecules and proteins associated with prostate cancer including pre-malignant conditions. Compositions, kits, and methods for detecting, characterizing, preventing, and treating human prostate cancers are provided.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 60 / 601,413, filed August 13, 2004, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. field of invention [0003] The field of the invention is prostate cancer, including the diagnosis, characterization, management and therapy of prostate cancer. Background of the invention [0004] The increasing number of cancer cases reported both in the United States and indeed around the world are of concern. There are currently only a few effective treatments for specific types of cancer, and there is no guarantee of absolute success. To be most effective, these treatments require not only early detection of malignancy, but also reliable assessment of malignancy severity. [0005] Prostate cancer (PCA) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in US men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men (Karp et al., 1996, Cancer Res. 56:5547-5556). The acute susceptibilit...
