    摘要: The present invention provides novel PAR 1 derived cytoprotective oligopeptides or polypeptides which typically contain at least the first 4 N-terminal residues that are substantially identical to the corresponding N-terminal residues of Met1-Arg46 deleted human PAR 1 sequence. These cytoprotective oligopeptides or polypeptides are capable of activating PAR 1 and promoting PAR 1 cytoprotective signaling activities. The invention also provides engineered cells or transgenic non-human animals which harbor in their genome an altered PAR 1 gene that is resistant to cleavage at Arg41 and/or Arg46 residues. Additionally provided in the invention are methods of screening candidate compounds to identity additional cytoprotective compounds or cytoprotective proteases. The invention further provides therapeutic use or methods of employing a PAR 1 derived cytoprotective oligopeptide or polypeptide to treat conditions associated with tissue injuries or undesired apoptosis.

    摘要: The present invention provides novel compositions for suppressing inflammation and for treating inflammatory disorders. These compositions contain at least one PARS-derived anti-inflammatory peptide or polypeptide and/or at least one PARI-derived anti-inflammatory peptide or polypeptide. The PARS- and/or PARI-derived peptides typically contain an amino acid sequence that mimics the respective N-terminal sequence of Activated Protein C-cleaved PARS or PARI, e.g., after activated protein C cleavage at residue Arg41 in human PARS and after residue Arg46 in human PARI. The invention also provides therapeutic methods of using the anti-inflammatory compositions described herein to suppress undesired inflammation and to treat inflammatory disorders. Additionally provided in the invention are methods of screening candidate compounds to identity novel anti-inflammatory agents.

    摘要: The present application generally relates to methods to prevent or treat bleeding and/or hypocoagulation in an individual in need thereof, and compositions for use in such methods. The methods comprise administration of FVa, preferably an APC resistant FVa (such as superFVa), alone or in combination with FVIIa, preferably rhFVIIa (such as NovoSeven® or another FVIIa having enhanced activity or half-life). When administered in combination, FVa and FVIIa elicit a synergistic benefit when used to treat or prevent bleeding or hypocoagulation in subjects in need thereof, e.g., subjects with a genetic disorder such as hemophilia or an acquired bleeding disorder or other condition associated with bleeding or hypocoagulation such as hemorrhagic stroke or shock, trauma, surgery or dysmenorrhea or individuals who produce inhibitory antibodies against procoagulants such as FVIII or FIX or who have been administered an overdose of an anticoagulant drug such as a direct Xa or direct thrombin inhibitor or a Novel Oral Anti-Coagulant (NOAC) or demonstrate unexplained bleeding. Also, the invention relates to the use of a superFVa alone or in combination with FVIIa or other procoagulant or prohemostatic agent to prevent, treat or reverse APC-associated bleeding, e.g., as the result of APC overproduction (such as through serious injury and/or hemorrhagic shock) or APC or other anticoagulant therapy, e.g., in the treatment of inflammatory disorders or sepsis disease.
