Abstract:
In the present specification, on the basis of the correlation between prospero homeobox protein 1 (PROX1) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), a composition for regulating expression of TERT, a method for screening a TERT expression regulator, a composition for diagnosing a TERT expression status, a diagnostic kit, a method for providing information for diagnosis, or a method for providing information for cancer diagnosis are disclosed. Specifically, in one aspect, the PROX1 of the present disclosure may bind to a TERT promoter, in particular a mutant TERT promoter in which base substitution occurs at the -124 or -146 bp position to regulate the expression of TERT, and the expression of TERT in non-hepatitis B virus-associated liver cancer can be inhibited specifically among liver cancers.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating dementia comprising extracts of Monsonia sp.; a food composition for preventing and/or improving dementia comprising extracts of Monsonia sp.; and a method of preparing an extract of Monsonia sp. with excellent inhibitory effect on the formation of β-amyloid. The plant extract can inhibit the formation of β-amyloid which has been known as a factor causing the dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, thereby being used for preventing, improving and/or treating the dementia.
