摘要:
The present invention discloses PTP10D, Tec protein tyrosine kinase, or EDTP homologous proteins regulating the energy homeostasis and the metabolism of triglycerides, and polynucleotides, which identify and encode the proteins disclosed in this invention. The invention also relates to the use of these sequences in the diagnosis, study, prevention, and treatment of diseases and disorders, for example, but not limited to, metabolic diseases such as obesity as well as related disorders such as eating disorder, cachexia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hypercholesterolemia, dyslipidemia, osteoarthritis, gallstones, cancers, e.g. cancers of the reproductive organs, and sleep apnea.
摘要:
Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of PTPN13. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acid encoding PTPN13.

摘要:
Compositions and methods relating to small interfering RNA (siRNA) polynucleotides are provided as pertains to modulation of biological signal transduction. Shown are siRNA polynucleotides that interfere with expression of members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) class of enzymes that mediate signal transduction, and with certain MAP kinase kinases (MKK). In certain preferred embodiments siRNA modulate signal transduction pathways comprising SHP2, cdc14a/b, cdc25A/B/C, KAP, PTP-null, PRL-3, CD45, dual specificity phosphatase-3 (DSP-3), MKK-4, and/or MKK-7. Modulation of PTP-mediated biological signal transduction has uses in diseases associated with defects in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and/or cell survival, such as metabolic disorders (including diabetes and obesity), cancer, autoimmune disease, infectious and inflammatory disorders and other conditions. The invention also provides siRNA polynucleotides that interfere with expression of chemotherapeutic target polypeptides, such as DHFR, thymidylate synthetase, and topoisomerase I.

Antisense sequences, including duplex RNAi compositions, which possess improved properties over those taught in the prior art are disclosed. The invention provides optimized antisense oligomer compositions and method for making and using the both in in vitro systems and therapeutically. The invention also provides methods of making and using the improved antisense oligomer compositions.
摘要:
Pentamidine, an anti-protozoa drug, is described herein as a potent PTPase inhibitor with anti-cancer activity. Pentamidine at its therapeutic doses inhibits recombinant PRL phosphatases and inactivates intracellular PRLs in NIH3T3 transfectants. Pentamidine treatment at a nontoxic dose markedly inhibits the growth of WM9 human melanoma tumors in nude mice coincident with tumor cell necrosis and is capable of inactivating an ectopically expressed PRL-2 in the cancer cells. The drug has growth inhibitory activity against different human cancer cell lines that express the PRLs, and therefore has broad anti-cancer activity based on inactivating the oncogenic phosphatases.
