The present invention provides the art with the DNA coding sequences of
polynucleotides that are up-or-down-regulated in cancer and dysplasia.
These polynucleotides and encoded proteins or polypeptides can be used in
the diagnosis or identification of cancer and dysplasia. Inhibitors of
the up-regulated polynucleotides and proteins can decrease the
abnormality of cancer and dysplasia. Enhancing the expression of
down-regulated polynucleotides or introducing down-regulated proteins to
cells can decrease the growth and/or abnormal characteristics of cancer
and dysplasia.
