The invention relates to peptides having the capacity to bind to interleukin-10 (IL-10) and their use in the treatment of clinical conditions or pathological disorders associated to IL-10 expression, particularly to a high IL-10 expression, for example, infectious diseases, tumors, cancers and acute damage conditions.
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. Arg-Asp-Phe-Gln-Ser-Phe-Arg-Lys-Met-Trp-Pro-Phe- Phe-X (I)
摘要:
Use of cardiotrophin in liver diseases. The invention describes the increased expression of cardiotrophin (CT-1) during the process of hepatic regeneration coinciding with maximum proliferation of hepatocytes and the role of CT-1 as a stimulator of hepatic regeneration. Furthermore, it describes the hepatoprotective role of CT-1 in various models of acute liver damage.The importance of using CT-1 in the manufacture of compositions for use in the treatment of hepatopathies is demonstrated. The invention describes such use in various forms and methods, including the recombinant protein and the use of the gene sequences that code for CT-1.
摘要:
Antagonistic synthetic peptides, obtained from TGFβ1 or from its receptors in the organism, that can be used in the manufacture, both on their own, as well as the gene sequences that encode them and the recombinant systems that express them, in the manufacture of compositions for use in the treatment of liver diseases and more concretely in cases of fibrosis. The said compositions can optionally include mimotopes of the said active peptides.

The invention relates to the use of interferon alpha 5 in the treatment of viral hepatopathies. The invention describes the reduced synthesis of IFNα5 in the livers of patients with hepatitis C in comparison to healthy livers. The sub-type of IFN expressed in said healthy livers corresponded only to the subtype alpha 5 in comparison with the different sub-types expressed in ill livers. The sequence SEQ ID NO:1 shows the partial sequence of cDNA corresponding to IFNα5. These significant differences between the expression patterns of some livers an others demonstrate the importance of the use of such interferon sub-type in the fabrication of compositions useful in the treatment of viral hepatopathies. The invention discloses in details such utilization in different forms and processes, including those which use the production of recombinant proteins from sequences of the type SEQ ID NO:1.
