U.S. and U.S. experts find Par-4 tumor suppressor gene in prostate

researchers at the University of Kentucky have developedin mice that fight cancer,the achievement was inspired by atumorinhibition gene found in the prostate by Vivek Langnecar, a professor at the British School of Medicine, and his team, the Daily Science website reportedThe researchers foundthatthe "Par-4" gene kills cancer cells,but does not harm normal cellsAs a result,, the"Par-4" gene has the potential to treat cancerLangnecar produced a mouse with the "Par-4" gene and compared it to other mice, the report saidIt turns out that the "Par-4" gene does fight cancer cells, and that the gene does not have any toxic side effects"We first found the 'Par-4' gene in the prostate, but it's not limited to the prostate, " Langnecal said The gene, which is present in every type of cell we studied, kills a variety of cancer cells, including, of course, cancer cells in the prostate The interesting part of the study is that the 'killer' gene kills cancer cells without killing normal cells "
to further investigate the potential therapeutic effects of the gene, Langnecal's team injected it into the egg of a mouse and implanted it into the surrogate female "The mouse itself didn't replicate a lot of this gene, but its young mice copied a lot of it, " Langnekar said As a result, we were able to pass this gene-replicating behavior from generation to generation in mice "
this means to humans that the "Par-4" gene can be used to deal with cancer cells in patients through bone marrow transplants, which do not produce toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
