Metastasis suppressor gene on human chromosome 8 and its use in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer

摘要

The invention provides an isolated or purified ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoded by a human (Tey1) metastasis suppressor gene located at p21-p12 on chromosome 8 or a fragment thereof, wherein the isolated or purified RNA molecule comprises from about 10 to about 100 nucleotides. The invention also provides methods of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer, such as prostate cancer, using the isolated or purified RNA molecule.
