摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences coding for human porphobilinogen deaminase that are optimised for higher expression in mammalian cells. The invention further relates to DNA constructs comprising such optimised synthetic coding sequences for use in gene therapy of conditions caused by a deficiency in porphobilinogen deaminase, such as acute intermittent porphyria. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid or a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleotide sequence coding for a human porphobilinogen deaminase, wherein at least 320 of the codons coding for the human porphobilinogen deaminase are identical to the codons in SEQ ID NO: 1 or wherein at least 305 of the codons coding for the human porphobilinogen deaminase are identical to the codons in SEQ ID NO: 3.

摘要:
The invention relates to the use of oncostatin M (OSM), an OSM receptor (OSMR) agonist, or a combination of OSM or a OSMR agonist with an interferon type I; in the manufacture of a medicament for enhancing the immunostimulatory activity of epithelial cells in a human.
摘要:
The invention relates to peptides of general formula (I), wherein X is absent or X is present and is X14 or X14-X15, wherein X14 and X15, independently from one another, represent an amino acid; their functional variants and fragments, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, having the capacity to bind to scurfin and inhibit its biological activity, therefore they regulate or block the activity of regulatory T (Treg) lymphocytes. They are applicable in the treatment of infectious and neoplastic diseases. (I) Arg-Asp-Phe-Gln-Ser-Phe-Arg-Lys-Met-Trp-Pro-Phe- Phe-X
摘要:
5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA) is described as a compound that is susceptible to inhibiting and/or blocking the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby epithelial cells become mesenchymal cells.The periodical intake of MTA [every 24 h for 21 days] significantly improves fibrosis and the markers for hepatic cellular damage in KO-Mdr2 mice with MTA (28 mg/kg). Following the daily oral administration of MTA, both the expression of EMT markers in the total liver and appreciable signs of fibrosis are significantly reduced, indicating the beneficial effect of MTA on the liver affected by the lack of Mdr2. MTA is proposed to be a safe drug, suitable for oral formulation and without secondary effects, to be used in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with EMT, including chronic cholestatic diseases, fibrosis and cholangiocarcinoma. On the other hand, MTA is proposed for application in anti-tumor therapies by inhibiting or blocking the EMT properties of CSC cells, in order to improve the prognosis of tumor development and the malignancy thereof.
