摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using a one or more assays configured to detect a kidney injury marker selected from the group consisting of C-C Motif chemokine 24, and optinally Cancer antigen CA 15-3, C-C Motif chemokine 18, , Cathepsin D, C-X-C Motif chemokine 13, C-C motif chemokine 8, Interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain, Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3, Interleukin-11, Matrix Metalloproteinase-8, Transforming growth factor alpha, IgG1, and IgG2 as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in renal injuries.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for identifying a subject being eligible to the administration of at least one medicament selected from the group consisting of a beta blocker, an aldosterone antagonist, a diuretic, and an inhibitor of the renin-angiotensin system. The method is based on the determination of the amount of at least one biomarker selected from the group consisting of GDF-15 (Growth Differentiation Factor 15), endostatin, mimecan, IGFBP7 (IGF binding protein 7), a cardiac Troponin, a BNP-type peptide, uric acid, Gal3 (Galectin-3), osteopontin, sST2 (soluble ST2), PlGF, sFlt-1, P1NP, Cystatin C, Prealbumin, and Transferrin in a sample from a subject suffering from heart failure. Further, the method comprises the step of comparing the, thus, determined amount with a reference amount. Further envisaged by the present invention are kits and devices adapted to carry out the method of the present invention. The present invention also relates to a system for identifying a subject being eligible to the administration of at least one medicament as disclosed herein and to reagents and kits used in performing the methods as disclosed herein.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide methods and compositions for protection of subjects from acute kidney injury by treating the subject with compounds that modulate the cell cycle. Modulating the cell cycle can comprise inducing G 0 /G 1 cell cycle arrest, and/or inducing cell cycle progression. As demonstrated below, even a single administration of a compound which induces G 0 /G 1 cell cycle arrest can protect subjects from AKI, and may be used prophylactically in advance of, or as a treatment following, various treatments or conditions that are known to be injurious to the kidney, followed optionally by release of the arrest. Once AKI is established, cell cycle progression can be induced to increase replacement of lost and damaged cells.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for establishing if a heart failure patient is susceptible to be hospitalized and/or rehospitalized, wherein said method comprises measuring the concentration of IGFBP2 in a sample obtained from said heart failure patient.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more markers selected from the group consisting of cytochrome c and insulin-like growth factor IA as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in renal injuries.
摘要:
The present invention provides: a composition for radiation exposure diagnosis including an agent for measuring an expression level of an insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) gene at an mRNA or the protein; a kit for radiation exposure diagnosis including the composition; a method of diagnosing radiation exposure by measuring the expression level of the IGFBP-5 gene at an mRNA or the protein in a patient's sample; a method of screening an agent for enhancing radiation sensitivity by selecting a sample having increased expression levels of the IGFBP-5 gene at an mRNA or the protein compared to those of a control group; a method of screening an agent for radiation protection by selecting a sample having decreased expression levels of the IGFBP-5 gene at an mRNA or the protein compared to those of a control group; a composition for enhancing radiation sensitivity including an agonist to expression or action of the IGFBP-5 gene at an mRNA or the protein; and a composition for radiation protection including an antagonist to expression or action of the IGFBP-5 gene at an mRNA or the protein.
