摘要:
The invention provides for the use of protein kinase activators or boosters of nerve growth factor (NGF), brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) or other neurotrophic factors to treat head trauma. Specifically, the present invention provides methods of treating head trauma comprising the steps of identifying a subject having suffered a head trauma and administering to said subject an amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a protein kinase C (PKC) activator or 4-methylcatechol acetic acid (MCBA) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier effective to treat at least one symptom of head trauma.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to PKC activators and combinations thereof. The disclosure further relates to compositions, kits, uses, and methods thereof.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of slowing or reversing the loss of memory and learning comprising the steps of contacting an effective amount of a PKC activator with a protein kinase C (PKC) in a subject identified with memory loss slowing or reversing memory loss. The present invention provides methods of stimulating cellular growth, neuronal growth, dendritic growth, dendritic spine formation, dendritic spine density, and the translocation of ELAV to proximal dendrites, and synaptic remodeling. The present invention also provides methods of contacting a protein kinase C (PKC) activator with a PKC activator in a manner sufficient to stimulate the synthesis of proteins sufficient to consolidate long-term memory. The present invention also provides methods of contacting a protein kinase C (PKC) activator with a PKC activator in a manner sufficient to downregulate PKC.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease as well as to methods of confirming the presence or absence of Alzheimer's Disease in a subject. The present invention is also directed to methods of identifying a lead compound useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease by contacting non-Alzheimer's cells with an amyloid beta peptide, stimulating the cells with a protein kinase C activator, contacting the cells with a test compound, and determining the value of an Alzheimer's Disease-specific molecular biomarker. The present invention is also directed to methods of diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease in a subject by detecting alterations in the ratio of specific phosphorylated MAP kinase proteins in cells after stimulation with a protein kinase C activator. The Alzheimer's Disease-specific molecular biomarkers disclosed herein are useful for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, monitoring the progression of Alzheimer's Disease in a subject and in screening methods for the identification of compounds for treating or preventing Alzheimer's Disease. The invention is also directed to kits containing reagents for the detection and diagnosis of the presence or absence of Alzheimer's Disease using the Alzheimer's Disease-specific molecular biomarkers disclosed herein.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using PKC-elicited gene expression profiles. PKC-activation elicits different genomic profiles in AD cells, as compared with control cells, which can be used to diagnose AD and individuals at risk for developing AD.
