Abstract

We have identified fusion mRNAs (PRKAA-TTC33, SAMM50-PARVB, P2RX5-TAX1BP3, URB1-C21ORF45, CTBS-GNG5, CHD2-CHMP1A, ADK-DHX8), that are expressed by human cells and tissues. Among them, we have shown that the PRKAA-TTC33, SAMM50-PARVB, CHD2-CHMP1A chimeras stimulate the growth of tumor cells. This makes these chimeras effective therapeutic targets, that we have exploited to develop new efficient anti-tumor tools. The invention here presented concerns the chimeric mRNAs that stimulate tumor growth (PRKAATTC33, SAMM50-PARVB, CHD2-CHMP1A); the methods used to reveal their presence and to quantify the levels of these fusion RNAs; the use of these fusion RNAs as a target of antitumor therapy; the methods used to inhibit the expression of these fusion RNAs in cells and tissues.
