The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis and treatment of a urological disorder or urological disorders. Specifically, the present invention identifies the differential expression of 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058 and 6351 genes in tissues relating to urological disorders, relative to their expression in normal, or non-urological disorders, and/or in response to manipulations relevant to a urological disorder. The present invention describes methods for the diagnostic evaluation and prognosis of various urological disorders, and for the identification of subjects exhibiting a predisposition to such conditions. The invention also provides methods for identifying a compound capable of modulating a urological disorder or urological disorders. The present invention also provides methods for the identification and therapeutic use of compounds as treatments of urological disorders.
A method for identifying a compound capable of treating a urological disorder, comprising assaying the ability of the compound to modulate 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058 or 6351 nucleic acid expression or 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058 or 6351 polypeptide activity, thereby identifying a compound capable of treating a urological disorder.
A method for identifying a compound capable of modulating a hyperplasis comprising:
A method for modulating hyperplasia in a cell comprising contacting a cell with a 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058 or 6351 modulator, thereby modulating hyperplasia in the cell.
A method for treating a subject having a urological disorder characterized by aberrant 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058.or 6351 polypeptide activity or aberrant 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058 or 6351 nucleic acid expression comprising administering to the subject a 1435, 559, 34021, 44099, 25278, 641, 260, 55089, 21407, 42032, 46656, 62553, 302, 323, 12303, 985, 13237, 13601, 18926, 318, 2058 or 6351 modulator, thereby treating said subject having a urological disorder.
