ABSTRACT:
The present invention identifies cDNA collections enriched in genes regulated in prostate homeostasis, prostate regression, and in genes regulated in programmed cell death. These novel cDNA collections provide cDNAs that encode proteins that are either unique to general programmed cell death or unique to prostate regression. These transcripts can be used as markers to screen, monitor and/or to diagnose diseased conditions including prostate cancer. In addition, these cDNA collections can be used in methods of designing novel therapeutic agents useful for treating prostate cancer. Methods of making these collections through subtraction hybridization are described.
