    摘要: Expression of VEGF correlates with clinically aggressive, tamoxifen resistant metastatic breast cancers. To assess the role of VEGF expression on breast cancer growth, metastasis and development of anti-estrogen resistance, and desmoplasia an ER-positive, several MCF-7-derived cell lines, designated C9V, were engineered to express VEGF in a doxycycline-regulated manner. C9V cells were introduced into a athymic nude mouse to produce a xenograft model of breast cancer. Expression of VEGF in xenografts increased neoangiogenesis, enhanced tumor growth, stimulated a tamoxifen resistant phenotype, increased metastatic potential and induced a desmoplastic response. These results suggest that inhibition of VEGF expression or action will be effective in the treatment of breast cancer. In addition, inhibition of VEGF expression or action with inhibition of estrogen expression or action may also be effective.

    摘要: The present invention provides polypeptides which are correlated with pre-diabetes, diabetes or susceptibility to diabetes which can be used as markers for diagnosis of pre-diabetes, diabetes or a susceptibility or predisposition to develop diabetes. The invention also provides methods for the diagnosis of pre-diabetes, diabetes and/or the susceptibility to diabetes by obtaining a biological sample and detecting and/or measuring the increase of one or more polypeptides as disclosed herein. Screening methods relating to agonists and antagonists of the specific polypeptides disclosed herein are provided. Antibodies may also be raised against these polypeptide markers for the detection and/or treatment of diabetes. Proteins, protein fragments or peptides can be used for the treatment of diabetes or pre-diabetes.

    摘要: The invention relates to an ex vivo method for the early detection of acute kidney injury in critical patients, comprising the use of measurements of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), klotho (KL) and erythropoietin (EPO) as biomarkers, where such measurements are obtained from a venous blood sample or urine, and allow the following factors to be calculated: 1 = ([FGF23]p x [EPO]p); 2 = ([FGF23]p / [Klotho]p); 3 = ([EPO]p) / [Klotho]p); 4 = (([FGF23]p x [EPO]p) / [Klotho]p); where [X]p is the measurement of the plasma level of X and X is selected from fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), klotho (KL) and erythropoietin (EPO). If the value of the indicator 1, 2, 3, 4 or two or more thereof, is higher than, or equal to, a cut-off point (10 U) which allows identification of patients with and without AKL with a high level of sensitivity/specificity, then a high probability of presence/development of AKI is confirmed, and measures can be taken for patients with AKI. If the indicator value 1, 2, 3, 4 or two or more thereof is lower than the previously mentioned cut-off point, then the probability of presence/development of AKI is low and standard treatment can be carried out, that is, with use of endovenous solutions, prevention of the use of nephrotoxins, use of renal replacement therapy in severe AKI, inter alia.
