The present invention relates to a method of selecting (a) cell(s), (a) tissue(s) or (a) cell culture(s) with susceptibility to a selective CDK9 inhibitor. Also a method for determining the responsiveness of a mammalian tumor cell or cancer cell to treatment with a selective CDK9 inhibitor is described herein. In particular, the present invention provides for an in vitro method for the identification of a responder for or a patient sensitive to a selective CDK9 inhibitor, whereby the patient is suspected to suffer from NUT midline carcinoma (NMC). The present invention also relates to a method of monitoring or predicting the efficacy of a treatment of NUT midline carcinoma (NMC), wherein treatment with a selective CDK9 inhibitor is in particular envisaged. Also the use of a (transgenic) non-human animal or a (transgenic) cell having at least one rearrangement in the NUT gene for screening and/or validation of a medicament for the treatment NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is described. Furthermore, a kit useful for carrying out the methods described herein as well as an oligo- or polynucleotide capable of detecting rearrangements in the NUT gene are provide.
本发明涉及一种选择对选择性 CDK9 抑制剂敏感的细胞、组织或细胞培养物的方法。本文还描述了一种确定哺乳动物肿瘤细胞或癌细胞对选择性 CDK9 抑制剂治疗的反应性的方法。特别是,本发明提供了一种体外方法,用于鉴定对选择性 CDK9 抑制剂敏感的应答者或患者,其中患者被怀疑患有 NUT 中线癌(NMC)。本发明还涉及一种监测或预测NUT中线癌(NMC)疗效的方法,其中特别设想了用选择性CDK9抑制剂进行治疗。此外,还描述了使用至少有一个 NUT 基因重排的(转基因)非人类动物或(转基因)细胞来筛选和/或验证治疗 NUT 中线癌(NMC)的药物。此外,还提供了用于实施本文所述方法的试剂盒以及能够检测 NUT 基因重排的寡核苷酸或多核苷酸。
