    摘要: The present invention is based on the findings that BACE2, a homolog of β-secretase BACE, is able to stimulate processing of APP in a non-amyloidogenic pathway, thereby suppressing the level of Aβ. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods and means for the identification and use of modulators of this unique activity of BACE2 to suppress Aβ production. The compounds identified using the methods and means provided herein may be used as potential candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological diseases.

    摘要: The invention concerns methods for treating cardiac remodeling in a subject who has undergone myocardial injury, said method comprising the administration of natriuretic peptide to said subject. Preferably the natriuretic peptide is brain natriuretic peptide. The invention also concerns methods for treating structural heart disorders arising from myocardial injury, said method comprising the administration of a natriuretic peptide to a patient in need thereof.

    摘要: The invention concerns methods of treating malignant gliomas, by administering inhibitors of TGF-β the TGF-β signaling pathway, including molecules preferably binding to the type I TGF-β receptor (TGFβ-R1). Preferably, the inhibitors are non-peptide small molecules, including quinazoline derivatives. The invention also concerns methods for reversing the TGF-β-mediated effect on glioma cells to make them less refractile to signaling and other immune cells, comprising contacting a glioma cell or tissue in vivo or in vitro, with an inhibitor of TGF-β.

    摘要: The present invention provides cell-free η-secretase activity. The method of the invention utilizes a membrane source of APP/η-secretase mixture in the assay to determine factors that may enhance or decrease enzymatic activity affecting β-amyloid peptide production. The cell membranes used in the assay may be from cells expressing an endogenous APP or, preferably, cells expressing a recombinant APP. The APP may be full-length or a fragment capable of being proteolytically cleaved by η-secretase. In addition, the APP expressed in the cells may have one or more mutation, such as a point mutation, small deletion, etc.
