摘要:
Compositions for activating SGK-1 are provided. SGK-1 activators can be identified by the methods of screening provided herein. The SGK-1 activators can be used in the disclosed methods of reducing cell death and methods of treating ischemic-reperfusion injury. The ischemic-reperfusion injury can be due to a variety of complications resulting in blood loss to tissue and then the re-establishment of blood flow to the tissue.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel method of treating or preventing cancer as well as a novel method for diagnosing or monitoring cancer, wherein the cancer is caused by delayed entry to cellular senescence. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel method of treating or preventing cancer, comprising a step of administering an agent selected to degrade, inhibit or downregulate Spy1 in a cell. The present invention also relates to a novel method of diagnosing or monitoring cancer, comprising the steps of treating a cell with UV radiation and measuring amounts of a Spy1 protein and a p53 protein, or a ratio thereof.
摘要:
A method of treating cancer in a subject, including: providing a subject having a plurality of cancer cells; and administering to the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including: an HDM-2 binding component; and a membrane resident component, the membrane resident component bound to the HDM-2 binding component. Also provided are a method of selectively necrosing cancer cells, a method of causing membranolysis in cancer cells, and a cancer treatment composition.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods for inducing growth arrest or apoptosis in cancer cells in a subject. Further provided are methods of inhibiting or treating metastasis of a cancer cell in a subject. The methods involve administering to the subject an antibody conjugate containing an antibody, variant thereof, or functional fragment thereof having binding specificity of the antibody as produced by the hybridoma having ATCC accession number PTA 2439 and a biologically active molecule. The antibody (e.g., mAb 3E10) variant or functional fragment thereof provides for the in vivo transduction of the conjugate to the nucleus of mammalian cells, where the conjugated biologically active molecule may exert its effect. In particular embodiments, the antibody conjugate comprises a single chain Fv fragment of an antibody having the binding specificity of mAb 3E10 produced by ATCC PTA 2439, conjugated to p53.
摘要:
The invention encompasses novel methods of treating rheumatoid arthritis and its symptoms and novel methods of identifying and screening for drugs useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and its clinical symptoms. Targeted manipulation of a computer model of a human rheumatic joint provided the surprising result that cross-linking soluble Fas-ligand (sFasL) has a significant impact on the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may be alleviated by administering a sFasL-specific cross-linker.
摘要:
Carrier complexes comprising DNA encoding an anti-angiogenic gene or peptide and optionally a further DNA encoding a tumor suppressor protein are described. When administered to a subject bearing a tumor, the complexes can inhibit growth of the tumor.
摘要:
A method to reduce the likelihood of a dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiome in an individual employing a probiotic method and composition for maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome, with particular embodiments including a bacterial formulation of at least two live bacteria selected from the group consisting of L. reuteri, L johnsonii and L. crispatus, and at least one prebiotic having glycogen as a component thereof. The bacterial formulation is administered to an individual's vagina in an amount sufficient for the bacterial formulation to generate an amount of tryptophan metabolites sufficient to act as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists, thereby reducing inflammation in the individual's vagina. Certain embodiments include increasing the production of SCFAs in the individual's gut microbiome, while reducing the production of SCFAs in the individual's vagina and introducing ammonia oxidizing microorganisms to the individual's vagina.
摘要:
Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria, postbiotics, metabolites and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome. One embodiment includes a topical application of Lactobacillus crispatus to ameliorate skin barrier damage and inflammation using unique combinations of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and other skin-beneficial ingredients, effectively treating inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne, through the production of tryptophan metabolites that act as AHR agonists.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to the field of treating and preventing osteoporosis, with particular embodiments directed to a method of ameliorating, treating, or preventing osteoporosis in a human subject employing tomatidine, xylitol, rapamycin, etc., as well as modifying an individual's microbiome to reduce the likelihood of osteoporosis.
