The invention is based on the surprising finding that SIK3 is associated with resistance against anti-tumour immune responses. In particular, the invention provides methods for treating proliferative diseases using inhibitors of SIK3, especially nucleic acid or small molecule inhibitors of SIK3. Also provided are methods of sensitising cells involved with a proliferative disorder against the cytotoxic effect of certain pro-inflammatory signalling pathways, and/or to kill such cells and/or methods for treating proliferative diseases, using a SIK3 inhibitor together with ligands or agonists of such signalling pathways. Other methods provided by the invention include those involving SIK3 inhibitors to enhance or overcome certain side effects associated with treatments that utilise such signalling pathways, as well as diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring methods and kits based on the detection of SIK3 in a sample obtained from a subject, and screening methods useful for identifying or characterising inhibitors of SIK3.
本发明基于一个惊人的发现,即 SIK3 与抗肿瘤免疫反应的抵抗力有关。特别是,本发明提供了使用 SIK3 抑制剂,尤其是 SIK3 的核酸或小分子抑制剂治疗增殖性疾病的方法。本发明还提供了利用 SIK3 抑制剂和此类信号通路的配体或激动剂,使增殖性疾病相关细胞对某些促炎信号通路的细胞毒性作用敏感和/或杀死此类细胞和/或治疗增殖性疾病的方法。本发明提供的其他方法包括那些涉及 SIK3 抑制剂的方法,以增强或克服与利用此类信号通路的治疗相关的某些副作用,以及基于从受试者获得的样本中检测 SIK3 的诊断、预后和监测方法及试剂盒,以及用于识别或鉴定 SIK3 抑制剂的筛选方法。
