    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of biomedical and pharmacological research, in particular in the field of immunology, allergies, cancers, bone diseases and autoimmune diseases.The invention is based on the recent finding that SWAP-70 dimerises, that the dimerisation takes place via a specific, largely unique and limited region of the protein, and that this dimerisation is central to the function of the protein (and probably the stability thereof).The invention provides a screening method which makes it possible to identify new active ingredients which, by accumulating at the dimerisation domain and inhibiting SWAP-70 activity, suppress the supporting function of SWAP-70 in tumourigenesis, tumour cell migration and invasion, bone-degrading osteoclast activity, and the allergic reaction, as well as in autoimmune diseases.The object is achieved by a method for identifying a substance which inhibits the activity of SWAP-70, wherein the method comprises the following: contacting at least one test substance with SWAP-70, detecting the degree of dimerisation of SWAP-70, selecting a test substance which inhibits the dimerisation of SWAP-70.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for modulating c-Rel-dependent cytokine production without materially altering the level of expression of NFκB and/or the amount of IκB. The present invention is also directed to screening for modulators of c-Rel activity as determined by assaying for altered subcellular localization of c-Rel but where the level of expression of NFκB and/or the amount of IκB is materially unaltered.

    Abstract: The deficiency of Usf1 confers a remarkable number of clinically relevant beneficial metabolic effects in mice via activation of brown adipose tissue. The Usf1 deficient mice have high serum HDL-cholesterol and low triglyceride levels, a beneficial lipid profile opposite to that of human metabolic syndrome. The elevated HDL-C is associated with enhanced cholesterol efflux, and low triglycerides with decreased hepatic VLDL production and elevated triglyceride clearance. Despite their elevated food intake and lower physical activity, the Usf1 deficient mice are protected against diet-induced obesity. Their concomitant increase in energy expenditure is related to the activation of brown adipose tissue. The protective effects of Usf1 deficiency against obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver, dyslipidemia, vascular inflammation, and atherosclerosis coupled with brown adipose tissue activation are demonstrated. Inhibition or silencing of USF1 is suggested as a therapeutic target to treat various human diseases.
