摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing schizophrenia comprising measuring at least one parameter in a subject, the parameter being selected from the group consisting of (1) a genetic abnormality of glyoxalase I gene, (2) the expression level or activity of glyoxalase I in a biological sample, (3) the amount of a carbonyl-modified protein that is a protein modified with the carbonyl-compound, preferably pentosidine, in a biological sample, and (4) the amount of pyridoxal in a biological sample. The present further relates to a primer, a probe and a reagent for use in said method, as well as an AGE-reader and its use for measuring the amount of carbonyl-modified proteins.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for diagnosing schizophrenia, and a schizophrenia diagnostic reagent or device for use in the method. The present invention further provides a therapeutic or ameliorating agent for schizophrenia, which is effective for the treatment or amelioration of schizophrenia. The therapeutic or ameliorating agent for schizophrenia contains a carbonyl scavenger or a carbonyl-modified protein formation inhibitor as an active ingredient. The method for diagnosing schizophrenia according to the present invention includes measuring at least one parameter in a subject, the parameter being selected from the group consisting of: (1) a genetic abnormality of glyoxalase I gene; (2) the expression level or activity of glyoxalase I in a biological sample; (3) the amount of a carbonyl compound or a carbonyl-modified protein that is a protein modified with the carbonyl compound; and (4) the amount of pyridoxal in a biological sample.
摘要:
A triple Tg (megsin/RAGE/iNOS-Tg) is constructed by crossing a megsin-Tg with an RAGE/iNOS-Tg. It is found out that this megsin/RAGE/iNOS-Tg suffers from the onset of remarkable diabetic kidney lesion at an early stage which has never been observed so far and shows various uniform lesion images such as glomerular enlargement. It is also found out that the animal showing these symptoms is useful as a model animal of diabetic nephropathy. That is to say, the disease model animal as described above overexpresses megsin gene, receptor for advanced glycation end product gene and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene and, therefore, suffers from renal dysfunction associated with glomerular disorders at an early stage.
摘要:
Provided are a recombinant microorganism comprising: a gene encoding a pyridoxine oxidase; and a gene encoding a pyridoxamine synthetase having an enzymatic activity of synthesizing pyridoxamine from pyridoxal, in which each of the gene encoding a pyridoxine oxidase and the gene encoding a pyridoxamine synthetase is introduced from outside of a bacterial cell, or is endogenous to the bacterial cell and has an enhanced expression, and a method of producing pyridoxamine or a salt thereof from pyridoxine or a salt thereof using the recombinant microorganism.
摘要:
The present invention provides a composition effective in improving symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. The composition contains at least one pyridoxamine compound selected from the group consisting of pyridoxamine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an active substance. The composition may be used in combination with at least one thiamine compound selected from the group consisting of thiamine, derivatives thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
摘要:
Provided is a novel use of a plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 inhibitor (PAI-1 inhibitor) that is used as an active ingredient of an agent for controlling a tumor stem cell, an agent for enhancing the antitumor effect of an antitumor agent, an agent for tumor chemotherapy, a stem-cell protecting drug, or a hematopoietic disorder improving agent.
