摘要:
The invention provides peptides and analogs of INGAP and HIP peptides. The peptides and analogs can be used in methods for treating various diseases and conditions. Such diseases and conditions can include impaired pancreatic function, treating a metabolic disease, for example, diabetes, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, islets induction, expansion and proliferation for transplantation, promoting neuroprotection or nerve regeneration, promoting liver regeneration or inhibiting inflammation.
摘要:
Described are vectors containing (a) a gene encoding (i) a CDK4/CDK6 inhibitor, preferably p16INK4a, or (ii) an RNA interfering with CDK4 and/or CDK6 expression and/or activity, under the control of an inducible promoter and (b) a gene encoding a transactivator protein for said promoter useful for treating neurodegenerative disorders. These vectors can be transferred into cells where they will exert a protective function to (i) prevent cell death or to (ii) slow down progression of cell death. These vectors can be used in therapeutic applications to prevent neurodegenerative disorders or to slow down their progression with therapeutic efficacy.

摘要:
Peptides derived from cancer specific isoform of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (caPCNA, also known as csPCNA) or from nmPCNA-interacting proteins interfere with intracellular protein-protein interaction, thereby causing a reduction in the proliferative potential of cancer. These peptides serve as therapeutic compositions to reduce the proliferation of cancer cells and also augment existing chemotherapeutic methods.

摘要:
The present invention relates to the E2EPF UCP-VHL interaction and the uses thereof, more precisely a method for increasing or reducing VHL activity or level by regulating UCP activity or level to inhibit cancer cell proliferation or metastasis or to increase angiogenesis. The inhibition of UCP activity is accomplished by any UCP activity inhibitor selected from a group consisting of a small interfering RNA (RNAi), an antisense oligonucleotide, and a polynucleotide complementarily binding to mRNA of UCP, a peptide, a peptide mimetics and an antibody, and a low molecular compound. In the meantime, the increase of angiogenesis is accomplished by the following mechanism; UCP over-expression is induced by a gene carrier and thus endogenous VHL is reduced, leading to the stabilization of HIF-1α which enhances VEGF activation based on the HIF-1α stabilization. The method for regulating UCP activity or level results in the increase or decrease of VHL activity or level, so that it can be applied to the development of an anticancer agent and an angiogenesis inducer.
