    摘要: Methods of screening for a cause of low sperm motility and/or for mitochondrial impairment in subjects are provided, comprising determining a genotype of the subject with respect to at least one choline metabolism gene and comparing the genotype of the subject with at least one reference choline metabolism genotype associated with low sperm motility and/or impaired mitochondrial function, wherein a similarity between the subject and reference genotypes indicates a cause of low sperm motility and/or impaired mitochondrial function in the subject. In another aspect, methods for treating subjects having low sperm motility and/or impaired mitochondrial function are provided, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a choline metabolism supplement composition to at least partially ameliorate the low sperm motility and/or impaired mitochondrial function.

    摘要: Treatment and diagnostic methods are provided for pulmonary disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Arhgef1, a leukocyte signaling molecule, functions normally to suppress integrin-mediated MMP production by alveolar macrophages. MMP9 production by fibronectin-stimulated monocytes and macrophages depends on autocrine thromboxane receptor signaling and this signaling pathway is attenuated by Arhgef1. Expression of ARHGEF1 by human peripheral blood monocytes varies between individuals and inversely correlates with fibronectin-mediated MMP9 production. Arhgef1 levels can function as a predictor for a pulmonary disease candidate and a thromboxane receptor antagonist can treat a pulmonary disease condition resulting from low Arhgef1 levels.
