emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
of libraries for compounds that
specifically inhibit or kill cancer stem
cells.
• Research tool to optimize
therapeutic regimens in preclinical
models.
• Potential to support precision
medicine approach by screening
therapeutics for efficacy against cancer
stem cells in patient-derived xenografts.
Competitive Advantages:
• Efficient visualization of cancer
stem cells by functional property rather
than by use of highly variable cell
surface markers.
• Flexible modular Gateway cloning
technology allows constructs with
alternative reporters to be readily
generated.
• Approach is independent of cell-oforigin of tumor.
• Cancer stem cell behavior can be
monitored in real-time.
Development Stage:
• Pre-clinical.
• In vitro data available.
• In vivo data available (animal).
Inventors: Lalage Wakefield and
Binwu Tang (NCI).
Publication: Manuscript under
review. Text available on request.
Intellectual Property: HHS Reference
No. E–141–2011/0—Research Tool.
Patent protection is not being pursued
for this technology.
Licensing Contact: Eggerton
Campbell, Ph.D.; 301–435–5282;

Collaborative Research Opportunity:
The National Cancer Institute,
Laboratory of Cancer Biology and
Genetics, is seeking statements of
capability or interest from parties
interested in collaborative research to
further develop, evaluate or
commercialize a cancer stem cell
reporter construct for use in drug
screens and therapy selection. For
collaboration opportunities, please

AAV-Aquaporin-1 Gene Therapy for
¨
Sjogren’s Syndrome
¨
Description of Technology: Sjogren’s
syndrome is a chronic inflammatory
disease affecting over 2 million
Americans, whereby moistureproducing glands are attacked by the
body’s immune system. The disease is
marked by disabling dryness of the
mouth and eyes as well as fatigue and
pain. Researchers at the National
Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research have developed a therapy that
alleviates xerostomia in an animal
¨
model of Sjogren’s syndrome. This
technology consists of local delivery of
adeno-associated virus (AAV) mediated

aquaporin-1 (AQP1) fusion protein to
salivary glands. Using a murine model
¨
that mimics Sjogren’s dry mouth
symptoms, it was discovered that
treatment restored salivary fluid
movement upon expression of AQP1.
Targeted delivery of the AAV–AQP1
system makes this invention a novel and
potential long-term therapeutic for
restoration of exocrine gland function
and prevention of xerostomia-associated
¨
pain associated with Sjogren’s
syndrome.
Potential Commercial Applications:
Prevention of dry mouth (xerostomia)
associated with salivary gland
¨
dysfunction in patients with Sjogren’s
syndrome.
Competitive Advantages:
• AAV gene transfer to salivary
glands is highly efficient.
• AAV–AQP1 promotes de novo
salivary flow.
Development Stage:
• Pre-clinical.
• In vitro data available.
• In vivo data available (animal).
Inventor: John (Jay) Chiorini (NIDCR).
