DKFZ researchers identified nuclear receptor tailles (Tlx) as a valuable drug target for brain tumors especially gliobastomas. In vivo experiments showed almost doubling in survival time of mice harbouring brain tumors by inhibiting the expression of Tlx in tumor cells. In addition a highly significant correlation between expression of Tlx in brain tumor cells and survival of the patient was demonstrated.
6% of all prostate cancer patients die due to their illness. However, 80% of all prostate cancer patients do not need therapy, since their cancers grow slowly. Since the mainly used marker (prostate-specific antigen, PSA) is also elevated in case of inflammatory processes or with benign prostatic hyperplasia, DKFZ inventors analysed serum samples and identified miRNA-375 and miRNA-141 as new biomarkers for high-risk tumors.
Cachexia related to cancer, occurs in 30-70% of cancer patients and still represents an as-yet non-curable and fatal paraneoplastic syndrome in a variety of tumor entities. The present invention discloses a new method for preventing cancer cachexia based on preventing inhibition of the protein AMPK.
