摘要: Methods and compositions for modulating angiogenesis in a host are provided. In the subject methods, an effective amount of Ca2+/calcineurin/NF-ATc signaling pathway modulatory agent is administered to the host. In many embodiments, the Ca2+/calcineurin/NF-ATc signaling pathway modulatory agent is an NF-ATc antagonist, e.g., in those embodiments of inhibiting angiogenesis. The subject methods find use in a variety of different applications, including the inhibition of tumor growth and the treatment of disease conditions characterized by tumor presence. Also provided are methods of screening for agents that inhibit angiogenesis by modulating the Ca2+/calcineurin/NF-ATc signaling pathway.

摘要: Methods and compositions are provided for reducing aggregation of neurodegenerative proteins associated with neurotoxicity or other proteins. The compounds comprise a first domain or targeting element for binding to the target proteins linked to a second domain or recruiting element that binds to an aggregation inhibiting protein, e.g. a prolyl isomerase. By associating the aggregating forming proteins or neuronal cells under conditions where aggregating proteins are produced with the compound and the aggregation inhibiting protein, aggregation is reduced. The subject agents can be used in assays, investigating the etiology of the neuronal diseases and for prophylaxis and therapy.

摘要: Dimerization and oligomerization of proteins are general biological control mechanisms that contribute to the activation of cell membrane receptors, transcription factors, vesicle fusion proteins, and other classes of intra- and extracellular proteins. We have developed a general procedure for the regulated (inducible) dimerization or oligomerization of intracellular proteins. In principle, any two target proteins can be induced to associate by treating the cells or organisms that harbor them with cell permeable, synthetic ligands. To illustrate the practice of this invention, we have induced: (1) the intracellular aggregation of the cytoplasmic tail of the .zeta. chain of the T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex thereby leading to signaling and transcription of a reporter gene, (2) the homodimerization of the cytoplasmic tail of the Fas receptor thereby leading to cell-specific apoptosis (programmed cell death) and (3) the heterodimerization of a DNA-binding domain (Gal4) and a transcription-activation domain (VP16) thereby leading to direct transcription of a reporter gene. Regulated intracellular protein association with our cell permeable, synthetic ligands offers new capabilities in biological research and medicine, in particular, in gene therapy. Using gene transfer techniques to introduce our artificial receptors, one can turn on or off the signaling pathways that lead to the overexpression of therapeutic proteins by administering orally active "dimerizers" or "de-dimerizers", respectively. Since cells from different recipients can be configured to have the pathway overexpress different therapeutic proteins for use in a variety of disorders, the dimerizers have the potential to serve as "universal drugs". They can also be viewed as cell permeable, organic replacements for therapeutic antisense agents or for proteins that would otherwise require intravenous injection or intracellular expression (e.g., the LDL receptor or the CFTR protein).

摘要: Methods for identifying and treating cancer patients likely to respond to topoisomerase inhibitors or likely to fail to respond to topoisomerase inhibitors are provided. The methods take advantage of the newly discovered role of BAF complexes in decatenation of DNA by topoisomerase IIa. Cancer cells are frequently at least partly defective in BAF complex activity. Such cells are targeted for therapy using certain topoisomerase IIa inhibitors according to the disclosed methods of treatment. Therapy of such cells using other topoisomerase inhibitors should be avoided.
