摘要:
The invention provides a human DPP1 which is associated with the infections, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer, endocrinological diseases, metabolic diseases, gastro-enterological diseases, inflammation, hematological diseases, muscle skeleton diseases, neurological diseases and urological diseases. The invention also provides assays for the identification of compounds useful in the treatment or prevention of infections, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer, endocrinological diseases, metabolic diseases, gastro-enterological diseases, inflammation, hematological diseases, muscle skeleton diseases, neurological diseases and urological diseases. The invention also features compounds which bind to and/or activate or inhibit the activity of DPP1 as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis and/or prognosis of cancer and for monitoring the progression of cancer and/or the therapeutic efficacy of an anti-cancer treatment in a subject by determining the molecular form of cadherin at the cell surface of cancer cells in the subject. The invention also relates to a method for preventing, inhibiting or treating cancer or its metastasis in a subject by increasing the adhesive forms of cadherin and/or decreasing the non-adhesive forms of cadherin at the cell surface. The invention also relates to a method step of determining the expression level of furin and proprotein convertase 5A (PC5A).

摘要:
Methods and compositions for treating prostate cancer by promoting prostate epithelial cell differentiation are described. Treatment methods involve administration of an active form of prostate-derived factor (PDF), or of an inactive PDF precursor, or of a combination of a proprotein convertase (PC) with a PDF precursor, to increase the biological activity of PDF in the subject and promote prostate epithelial cell differentiation.
