Article Title: Mining the cancer genome uncovers therapeutic activity of EphA7 against lymphoma
Abstract: The functional annotation of the cancer genome can reveal new opportunities for cancer therapies. The wealth of genomic data on various cancers has not yet been mined for clinically and therapeutically useful information. We use cross-comparisons of genomic data with the results of unbiased genetic screens to prioritize genomic changes for further study. 1,2 In this manner, we have identified a soluble variant of the ephrin receptor A7 (EPHA7 TR) as a tumor suppressor that is lost in lymphoma. We also developed antibody-based delivery to restore this tumor suppressor to the cancer cells in situ. We will discuss our strategy of screening genomic data, specific findings concerning EPHA7 and the potential for future discoveries. © 2012 Landes Bioscience.
