    摘要: The invention enables high-throughput screening of compounds in living systems to detect unanticipated or unintended biological actions. The invention also allows for screening, detection, and confirmation of new indications for approved drugs. Screening and detection of toxic effects of compounds also can be achieved by using the methods of the invention. The methods comprise administering isotope-labeled substrates to a living system so that the label is incorporated into molecules in a manner that reveals flux rates through metabolic pathways thought to be involved in a disease. Comparisons between living systems exposed to compounds and living systems not so exposed reveals the effects of the compounds on the flux rates through the metabolic pathways. Combinations or mixtures of compounds can be systematically screened to detect unanticipated or unintended biological actions, including synergistic actions, in the same manner.

    摘要: The invention disclosed herein describes a novel therapeutic target for motoneuron diseases (altered dynamics of microtubules in neurons); methods for measuring the state of activity of this therapeutic target in subjects with established, incipient, or potential motoneuron disease; the discovery of drug agents that modulate neuronal microtubule dynamics in living subjects with motoneuron diseases; the discovery that administration of such agents, alone or in combinations, can improve MT-mediated transport of “synaptic vesicle cargo” molecules along and through axons; the discovery that such modulation of altered microtubule dynamics and improvement in MT-transport of molecules along axons can provide marked neuroprotective therapy for living subjects with motoneuron diseases, including delay in symptoms and prolongation of survival; and the discovery that monitoring of neuronal microtubule dynamics in response to therapeutic interventions in subjects with motoneuron diseases, allows diagnostic monitoring, to optimize therapeutic regimens and treatment strategies in individual subjects or in drug trials. The monitoring involves measuring isotope enrichment in secreted synaptic vesicle cargo molecules.

    摘要: Provided herein are methods for determining the metabolism of one or more sugars and/or fatty acids, and applications thereof. Such applications include determining the rate of glycogen synthesis and glycolysis, which are believed to be early markers for predicting elevated risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Other applications include methods for screening drugs that effect sugar and/or fatty acid metabolism. The methods are useful for at least partially characterizing drugs for desirable or undesirable (toxic) characteristics. Drugs that are at least partially characterized using the methods of the invention can then be further developed in pre-clinical testing and clinical trials. Such drugs may be found to be useful in treating obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other disorders of metabolism.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for measuring the proliferation and destruction rates of cells by measuring deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and/or destruction. In particular, the methods utilize non-radioactive stable isotope labels to endogenously label DNA synthesized through the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway in a cell. The amount of label incorporated in the DNA is measured as an indication of cellular proliferation. The decay of labeled DNA over time is measured as an indication of cellular destruction. Such methods do not involve radioactivity or potentially toxic metabolites, and are suitable for use both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the invention is useful for measuring cellular proliferation or cellular destruction rates in humans for the diagnosis, prevention, or management of a variety of disease conditions in which cellular proliferation or cellular destruction is involved. The invention also provides methods for measuring proliferation or destruction of T cells in a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and methods of screening an agent for a capacity to induce or inhibit cellular proliferation or destruction. In addition, the invention provides methods for measuring cellular proliferation in a proliferating population which utilize both radioactive isotope labels and stable isotopes to endogenously label DNA through the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway.

    摘要: The methods described herein enable the evaluation of compounds on subjects to assess their therapeutic efficacy or toxic effects. The target of analysis is the underlying biochemical process or processes (i.e., metabolic process) thought to be involved in disease pathogenesis. Molecular flux rates within the one or more biochemical processes serve as biomarkers and are quantitated and compared with the molecular flux rates (i.e., biomarker) from control subjects (i.e., subjects not exposed to the compounds). Any change in the biomarker in the subject relative to the biomarker in the control subject provides information to evaluate therapeutic efficacy of an administered drug or a toxic effect and to develop the compound further if desired. In one aspect of the invention, stable isotope-labeled substrate molecules are administered to a subject and the label is incorporated into targeted molecules in a manner that reveals molecular flux rates through metabolic pathways of interest.
