摘要:
Provided herein are methods and compositions related to a retinoid receptor-selective pathway. As described herein, this pathway can be targeted to manipulate a tumor microenvironment. For example, the methods and compositions described herein can be used to induce apoptosis in a cancer cell. Further, the compositions described herein, including Sulindac and analogs thereof, can be used to target this pathway for the treatment or prevention of cancer in human patients.

摘要:
Compounds that modulate the function of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL are identified. These compounds have the ability to convert the activity of Bcl-2-family member proteins from anti-apoptotic to pro-apoptotic. Methods for inducing apoptosis are described, together with methods for identifying molecules that induce apoptosis through interaction with Bcl-2-family members.

Compounds that modulate the function of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and related Bcl-2 family members are identified. These compounds have the ability to convert the activity of Bcl-2-family member proteins from anti-apoptotic to pro-apoptotic. Methods for inducing or preventing apoptosis are described, together with methods for identifying molecules that induce or prevent apoptosis through interaction with Bcl-2-family members. Methods for treatment of proliferative diseases and neurodegenerative diseases using the modulators of Bcl-2 and related family members are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention provides compounds that are inducers or inhibitors of apoptosis or apoptosis preceded by cell-cycle arrest. In addition, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating mammals with leukemia or other forms of cancer or for treating disease conditions caused by apoptosis of cells.
