摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for the detection, treatment, and prevention of a kidney injury. The invention relates to the discovery that chitinase 3-like 1/Brp-39/YKL-40 serves as both a biomarker for the degree of kidney injury and a critical mediator of a reparative response in the kidney.
摘要:
The present invention encompasses compositions and methods directed to preventing, inhibiting, or treating inflammation, alveolar remodeling, or cell death in lung which results from elevation of IL-18, IFN-γ, or PKR where the methods of the present invention comprise administering an IL-18 inhibitor, an IL-18Rα inhibitor, and IFNγ inhibitor, a PKR inhibitor, and any combination thereof to an individual experiencing inflammation, alveolar remodeling, or cell death in lung. The present invention further encompasses a method of alleviating exacerbations of COPD frequently caused by viral infection by administering inflammation, alveolar remodeling, or cell death in lung to a patient with COPD at risk of developing a viral infection or who has acquired a viral infection.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating diseases caused by the over-production of a VEGF polypeptide by administering miRNA or miRNA inhibitor compositions to decrease at least one activity of a VEGF polypeptide.
摘要:
The present invention includes compositions and methods for the treatment of Th1 and/or Th2 mediated inflammatory diseases, relating to inhibiting CCR5. This is because the present invention demonstrates, for the first time, that expression of IFN-γ, IL-13, and CCR5, mediates and/or is associated with Th1 and/or Th2 inflammatory diseases and that inhibiting CCR5 treats, and even prevents, the diseases. Thus, the invention relates to the novel discovery that inhibiting CCR5 treats and prevents Th1 and/or Th2 mediated inflammatory disease.
摘要:
The present invention includes compositions and methods for the treatment of inflammatory disease (e.g. asthma, COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, atopic dermatitis, atopy, allergy, allergic rhinitis, scleroderma, and the like), relating to inhibiting a chitinase-like molecule. The invention further includes methods to identify new compounds for the treatment of inflammatory disease, including, but not limited to, asthma, COPD and the like. This is because the present invention demonstrates, for the first time, that expression of IL-13, and of a chitinase-like molecule, mediates and/or is associated with inflammatory disease and that inhibiting the chitinase-like molecule treats and even prevents, the disease. Thus, the invention relates to the novel discovery that inhibiting a chitinase-like molecule treats and prevents an inflammatory disease.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for the treatment of a Th2 mediated inflammatory disease, relating to inhibiting a VEGF. The invention further includes methods to identify new compounds for the treatment of a Th2 mediated inflammatory disease, including, but not limited to, asthma and the like. This is because the present invention demonstrates, for the first time, that expression of VEGF induces asthma-like phenotype and that inhibiting VEGF reverses the phenotype. Thus, the invention relates to the novel discovery that inhibiting VEGF treats and prevents an Th2 mediated inflammatory disease.
