    摘要: There is provided a method of increasing GIPCR signalization in the cells of a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an inhibitor of integrin alpha5beta1 expression and/or activity, whereby GiPCR signalization is increased in the cells of the subject. An inhibitor of integrin alph5beta1 may be, for example, an agent that inhibits the interaction between f osteopontin (OPN) and integrin alpha5beta1. Also provided are methods of determining the risk of developing a scoliosis and based on the presence of at least one copy of a CD44 risk allele and methods of stratifying a subject having a scoliosis and kits for performing these methods. In particular, the method of determining risk identifies SNP rs1467558; an isoleucine to threonine mutation at position 230 of CD44.

    摘要: A method of classifying a subject having idiopathic scoliosis (IS) or at risk of developing IS or a method of determining the risk of developing IS in a subject, wherein the IS is preferably adolescent IS (AIS), comprising: A) a) contacting a cell sample from the subject with i) an agonist of cluster I or cluster II GiPCR; and ii) Pertussis toxin (PXT); b) determining the cellular response to Gi stimulation; and c) classifying said subject into a IS functional group according to the subject's cellular response profile; or B) a) contacting a cell sample from the subject with an agonist of a cluster II GiPCR; b) determining the cellular response to Gi protein stimulation by cellular impedance; and c) classifying the subject into a IS functional group according to the subject's cellular impedance profile. A corresponding kit is also disclosed. A method of selecting a preventive measure, treatment or follow-up schedule for a subject suffering from IS or at risk of developing IS, wherein the IS is preferably adolescent IS (AIS), comprising classifying the subject using at least one of the method as defined above and classifying the subject in functional groups FG1-FG3 based on levels of OPN, HA,CD44, the frequency a of scoliosis assessment or the prescription of corrective surgery prior to reaching a Cobb's angle of 45 degrees.
