SUMMARY: The inventions listed below are owned by an agency of the U.S. Government and are available for licensing in the U.S. in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 to achieve expeditious commercialization of results of Federally-funded research and development. Foreign patent applications are filed on selected inventions to extend market coverage for companies and may also be available for licensing. ADDRESSES: Licensing information and copies of the U.S. patent applications listed below may be obtained by writing to the indicated licensing contact at the Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, Maryland 20852–3804; telephone: 301/ 496–7057; fax: 301/402–0220. A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required to receive copies of the patent applications. Identification of Cancer Stem Cells Description of Invention: Cancer stem cells (CSC) are thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, maintenance, and therapeutic failure. A hallmark of stem cells is self-renewal via asymmetric cell division (ACD) into daughter stem-cells and cells predestined for differentiation. Demonstration of fundamental stemcell’s traits such as ACD in cancers is lacking. Label retaining cells are thought to be enriched for stem-like cells. Label retaining cells are thought to be the PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 results of either very slow cycling cells and/or cells undergoing ACD. This invention is directed to the identification, isolation and purification of cancer stem cells by detecting asymmetrically dividing cells and/or label retaining cells. Detection of asymmetric cell division via nonrandom chromosomal cosegregation (ACD–NRCC) in various human cancers defines a unique and novel class of universal cancer stem cells, and potentially suggests a novel mechanism of carcinogenesis. The isolation of CSC might be used as a basis for a potential new strategy in cancer therapeutics. The invention also might have some implications in genetics and regenerative medicine. Applications • This invention may provide a novel way to target various cancers for treatment. • This invention maybe also useful in regenerative medicine, i.e. spinal cord injury (regeneration of neurons), Alzheimer (regeneration of neurons) and Parkinson’s disease regeneration of neurons). Development Status: Pre-clinical stage of development. Market • Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The National Cancer Institute estimates the overall annual costs for cancer in the U.S. at $107 billion; $37 billion for direct medical costs, $11 billion for morbidity costs (cost of lost productivity), and $59 billion for mortality costs. • According to statistics gathered by the National Institutes of Health, more than 10,000 Americans experience spinal cord injuries each year and more than 200,000 are living with permanent paralysis in their arms or legs due to spinal cord injury. • Parkinson’s disease affects some four million patients worldwide. Approximately 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year. Alzheimer Disease is estimated to affect 5.09 million patients by 2010.
