Provided herein are novel anti-LHR chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), cells or compositions comprising the same, vector or plasmid encoding anti-LHR CAR, and methods for producing the same, or using the same for detecting or treating ovarian cancer or prostate cancer. Also provided herein are anti-LHR antibody, compositions comprising the same, nucleic acid sequence encoding the same, and a kit for detecting LHR.

Car t-cell therapy directed to LHR for the treatment of solid tumors

Disclosed is a gene expression panel that can be used to predict prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Some embodiments provide methods for predicting clinical recurrence of PCa. Some embodiments provide a method for treating a patient with prostate cancer, the method comprising: detecting expression levels of a collection of signature genes from a biological sample taken from said patient, wherein said collection of signature genes comprises at least NKX2-1; and correlating expression levels of said collection of signature genes with prostate cancer-related mortality to identify whether the patient is at risk of prostate cancer-related mortality.

Gene expression panel for prognosis of prostate cancer recurrence

Disclosed is a gene expression panel that can be used to predict prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Some embodiments provide methods for predicting clinical recurrence of PCa. Some embodiments provide a method for predicting progression of prostate cancer in an individual, the method comprising: (a) receiving expression levels of a collection of signature genes from a biological sample taken from said individual, wherein said collection of signature genes comprises at least two genes selected from the group consisting of: NKX2-1, UPK1A, ADRA2C, ABCC11, MMP11, CPVL, ZYG11A, CLEC4F, OAS2, PGC, UPK3B, PCBP3, ABLIM1, EDARADD, GPR81, MYBPC1, F10, KCNA3, GLDC, KCNQ2, RAPGEF1, TUBB2B, MB, DUOXA1, C2orf43, DUOX1, PCA3 and NPR3; (b) applying the expression levels to a predictive model relating expression levels of said collection of signature genes with prostate cancer progression; and (c) evaluating an output of said predictive model to predict progression of prostate cancer in said individual. Systems are also provided for predicting progression and/or recurrence of PCa.

The present invention discloses compositions and methods for treating diseases such as cancer by targeting luteinizing hormone (LH) or its receptor (LHR) involved in androgen synthesis or testosterone production.

Methods for decreasing steroidogenesis in prostate cancer cells

The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating diseases. In particular aspects, the invention relates to administering a combination of a disintegrin with a microtubule stabilizing agent useful for treatment of cancer.
