    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of identifying an agent (e.g., petide, small molecule) that alters (partially, completely ) the activity (function, expression) of HIF. In one embodiment, the method of identifying an agent that alters (e.g., inhibits, enhances) the activity of HIF comprises contacting a molecule in the HIF biosynthetic pathway (e.g., a precursor of HIF, such as a steroid precursor; an enzyme) with an agent to be assessed and determining whether the activity of the molecule (function, expression) is altered in the presence of the agent when compared to the activity of the molecule in the absence of the agent. The invention is also related method of treatment using such agents; and methods of monitoring the biosynthetic pathway of OLC/HIF. In particular, the invention is related to agent, treatments, and diagnostics for diseases such a hypertension and heart failure.

    摘要: A method for measuring human CYP3A inducibility upon administration of a test drug, characterized in that a non-human animal to which a test drug is administered or a population of human cells cultured in a medium containing a test drug is infected with viruses (A) and (B); virus (A) being an adenovirus which is used as a vector and engineered by incorporating thereto a detectable reporter gene and at least 3 human PXR binding regions falling within an untranslated region of a human CYP3A gene, and virus (B) being an adenovirus which is used as a vector and engineered by incorporating thereto a human PXR cDNA; and subsequently expression level of the reporter gene is determined in the non-human animal or the cultured human cells.
    The present invention ensures convenient and accurate evaluation of human CYP3A inducibility upon administration of a test drug to a human subject, providing accurate evaluation in terms of the efficacy of the test drug, occurence of side effects, disappearance of the drug effect, etc.

    摘要: The discovery that CYP1B1 protein is detectable in a wide range of human cancers of different histogenetic types, but is not detectable in non-cancerous tissues, gives rise to diagnostic methods for detecting tumours based on this protein as a marker, and to the possibility of tumour therapies involving the protein. A diagnostic method may include the steps of: (a) obtaining from a patient a tissue sample to be tested for the presence of cancer cells; (b) producing a prepared sample in a sample preparation process; (c) contacting the prepared sample with an antibody that reacts with human CYP1B1 protein; and (d) detecting binding of the antibody to CYP1B1 protein in the prepared sample.
