摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the fields of genetics, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and medicine. The present invention more particularly discloses the identification of a human gene variant involved in neuropathological conditions, and methods for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such diseases and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The present invention relates to catalytically active beta-secretase (Memapsin2, BACE) variants, and nucleic acids encoding them. The invention is useful in the identification of agents that inhibit the activity of a particular BACE isoform and thus agents and therapies affecting the genesis, development or progression of neuropathological conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'identification et/ou de clonage de régions d'acides nucléiques représentatives de différences qualitatives associées à des événements d'épissages alternatifs et/ou à des insertions, délétions se trouvant dans des régions du génome transcrites en ARN, entre deux situations physiologiques, comprenant soit l'hybridation d'ARN provenant de la situation test avec les ADNc provenant de la situation de référence et/ou réciproquement, soit l'hybridation d'ADNc double-brin provenant de la situation test avec les ADNc provenant de la situation de référence et ; l'identification et/ou le clonage d'acides nucléiques représentatifs des différences qualitatives. L'invention concerne également des compositions ou banques d'acides nucléiques représentatifs de différences qualitatives entre deux situations physiologiques, susceptibles d'être obtenues par le procédé décrit ci-dessus, ainsi que leur utilisation comme sonde, pour l'identification de gènes ou molécules d'intérêt, ou encore par exemple dans des méthodes de pharmacogénomique, et de profilage de molécules vis à vis de leurs effets thérapeutiques et/ou toxiques. L'invention concerne aussi l'utilisation des dysrégulations de l'épissage des ARN comme marqueurs de prédiction de la toxicité et/ou de l'efficacité de molécules, ainsi que comme marqueurs de pharmacogénomique.

The invention relates to the field of biology, genetics and medicine. In particular, the invention relates to novel methods of detecting, characterising and/or treating cancer pathologies, such as prostate cancer. The invention also relates to methods of identifying and screening compounds that are active in said pathologies. Furthermore, the invention relates to compounds, genes, cells, plasmids or compositions that are used to carry out the above-mentioned methods. More specifically, the invention outlines the role of variants of human kallikrein-2 and human kallikrein-3, also known as PSA, in the aforementioned pathologies and the uses of same as therapeutic, diagnostic or experimental targets.
摘要:
The invention concerns novel methods for determining the toxic potential of test compounds, as well as equipment and kits for implementing said methods. The invention also concerns methods for generating nucleic acid sequences for use as genetic markers of toxicity. The invention is based in particular on the constitution of differential libraries of nucleic acids, characteristic of situations wherein the viability and/or cell proliferation are disrupted, and for demonstrating that said libraries are useful for very dependably assessing with high degree of sensitivity the toxic profile of compounds. The invention is particularly useful in the pharmaceutical industry, for analysing the toxic profile of molecules to be used for pharmaceutical preparation and/or in pharmaceutical compositions.

The invention relates to the field of biology, genetics and medicine. In particular, the invention relates to novel methods for the detection, characterisation and/or treatment (or management) of neurodegenerative pathologies. The invention also relates to methods for the identification or screening of compounds active in the aforementioned pathologies. The invention further relates to the compounds, genes, cells, plasmids or compositions which are used to carry out the above-mentioned methods. The invention is based on the identification of the role of phosphodiesterase 4B, the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) and GABA(A)-type GABA receptors in neurodegenerative pathologies. In addition, the invention outlines the use of same as therapeutic, diagnostic or experimental markers or targets for said disorders.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method for identifying and/or cloning nucleic acid regions representing qualitative differences associated with alternative splicing events and/or with insertions, deletions located in RNA transcribed genome regions, between two physiological situations, comprising either hybridisation of RNA derived from the test situation with cDNA's derived from the reference situation and/or reciprocally, or double-strand hybridisation of cDNA derived from the test situation with cDNA's derived from the reference situation; and identifying and/or cloning nucleic acids representing qualitative differences. The invention also concerns compositions or banks of nucleic acids representing qualitative differences between two physiological situations, obtainable by the above method, and their use as probe, for identifying genes or molecules of interest, or still for example in methods of pharmacogenomics, and profiling of molecules relative to their therapeutic and/or toxic effects. The invention further concerns the use of dysregulation of splicing RNA as markers for predicting molecule toxicity and/or efficacy, and as markers in pharmacogenomics.
