| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing lung cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against one or more of EBI3, DLX5, NPTX1, CDKN3 or EF-I delta genes or compositions, vectors or cells containing such a double-stranded molecule. The present invention also features methods for diagnosing lung cancer, especially NSCLC or SCLC, using one or more over-expressed genes selected from among EBI3, DLX5, NPTX1, CDKN3 and/or EF-I delta. Also disclosed are methods of identifying compounds for treating and preventing lung cancer, using as an index their effect on the over-expression of one or more of EBI3, DLX5, CDKN3 and/or EF-I delta in the lung cancer, the cell proliferation function of one or more of EBI3, DLX5, NPTX1, CDKN3 and/or EF-I delta or the interaction between CDKN3 and VRS, EF-I beta, EF-I gamma and/or EF-I delta.
