The present invention relates to methods for treating and preventing cancer by modifying the expression of ets2 gene expression or the activity of the gene product. The invention also relates to sensitizing cancer cells to chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic agents. Ets2 gene expression and/or activity of the gene product can be modulated using antisense ets2 nucleic acids and/or modified ets2 proteins. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise antisense ets2 nucleic acid, and nucleic acid that encode modified ets2 proteins and/or modified ets2 proteins.
本发明涉及通过改变 ets2 基因表达或基因产物活性来治疗和预防癌症的方法。本发明还涉及使癌细胞对化疗或放射治疗药物敏感的方法。可以使用反义 ets2 核酸和/或修饰的 ets2 蛋白调节 Ets2 基因的表达和/或基因产物的活性。本发明还提供了包含反义 ets2 核酸和编码修饰的 ets2 蛋白和/或修饰的 ets2 蛋白的核酸的药物组合物。
