Provided herein are methods and compositions for increasing fetal hemoglobin levels in a cell by disrupting BCL11A expression at the genomic level. Also provided herein are methods and compositions relating to the treatment of hemoglobinopathies by reinduction of fetal hemoglobin levels.
摘要:
The present invention relates to succinimide-activated nitroxyl compounds and methods for the synthesis of such compounds. The present invention also relates to the use of succinimide-activated nitroxyl compounds to prepare nitroxylated proteins, for example nitroxylated heme proteins (e.g., nitroxylated hemoglobin and nitroxylated myoglobin). The nitroxylated proteins are optionally also conjugated to a polyalkylene oxide (PAO), for example to a polyethylene glycol (PEG). Polynitroxylated heme proteins are useful as oxygen therapeutic agents (OTAs). The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions of the nitroxylated proteins and methods for the use of nitroxylated proteins in the treatment of various conditions.
摘要:
This invention provides a range of translatable messenger UNA (mUNA) molecules. The mUNA molecules can be translated in vitro and in vivo to provide an active polypeptide or protein, or to provide an immunization agent or vaccine component. The mUNA molecules can be used as an active agent to express an active polypeptide or protein in cells or subjects. Among other things, the mUNA molecules are useful in methods for treating rare diseases.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel preservative solution for a heme protein and a method for stabilizing a heme protein, which are effective against denaturation or degradation of a heme protein, and the present invention specifically relates to a preservative solution for a heme protein comprising a disulfonic acid or a salt thereof, and a method for stabilizing a heme protein, which involves bringing a disulfonic acid or a salt thereof into coexistence in a sample comprising a heme protein.
摘要:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing recombinant hemoglobin protein or tetramer or dimer or subunit for tissue oxygenation and treating cancer. The recombinant hemoglobin protein or tetramer or dimer or subunit-based therapeutic agent is also effective for treating cancer. The recombinant hemoglobin or tetramer or dimer or its subunit moiety can target cancer cells and the therapeutic moiety (i.e. active agent/therapeutic drug) can kill the cancer cells efficiently. The recombinant hemoglobin or tetramer or dimer or its subunit-based therapeutic agent used in the present invention can be used in the treatment of various cancers such as pancreatic cancer, leukemia, head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer and brain cancer. The composition can be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic agent(s) such as chemotherapeutic agent, radiotherapeutic agent, anti-cancer protein drug to give a synergistic effect on cancer treatment, inhibiting metastasis and/or reducing recurrence.
