Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3) protein as an active ingredient. Over-expression of CYB5R3 in cancer cells results in significant reduction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression, which leads inhibition of cancer cells growth in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the CYB5R3 gene or protein of the present invention can be useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating cancer comprising a step of administering a vector containing a polynucleotide encoding cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3) protein or a cell containing the vector to a subject in need of cancer treatment; wherein the CYB5R3 protein is overexpressed and inhibits hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) in cancer cells of the subject, and wherein the cancer is one or more cancers selected from the group consisting of colorectal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer. 2. The method for treating cancer according to claim 1 , wherein the CYB5R3 protein consists of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ. ID. NO: 1 (GenBank Accession No: AAH04821). 3. The method for treating cancer according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is a linear DNA, a plasmid DNA, or a recombinant virus vector. 4. The method for treating cancer according to claim 3 , wherein the recombinant virus is selected from the group consisting of native or modified form of retrovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, herpes simplex virus, lentivirus, vaccinia virus. 5. The method for treating cancer according to claim 1 , wherein the cell is selected from the group consisting of hematopoietic stem cells, dendritic cells, autologous tumor cells, and established tumor cells.
