摘要:
The present invention provides a novel therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of infections and for the treatment of diabetes wherein the degradation of insulin is reduced through inhibition of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) by hydroxamate inhibitors.
摘要:
The invention relates to inhibition of mTOR, p70S6K1 or Rheb kinase activity for treating disorders including diabetes. The invention also relates to screening for agents that inhibit the activities of mTOR, p70S6K1 or Rheb proteins, which are useful in the treatment of diabetes, as well as preparing compounds for treatment of diabetes.
摘要:
Described herein are compositions and methods for inhibiting, degrading, knocking down or knocking out pip4k2c nucleic acids or Pip4k2c protein. Such compositions and methods are useful for treating and inhibiting the onset of cancer.
摘要:
The invention relates to modulation of LKB1 or AMP kinase protein activity for treating disorders including diabetes and cancer. The invention also relates to screening for agents that modulate the activity of LKB1 or AMP kinase protein, which are useful in the treatment of diabetes and cancer, as well as preparing compounds for treatment of diabetes and cancer.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for rapidly determining protease cleavage site motifs using a mixture-based oriented peptide library approach. The cleavage site motif for a protease involve residues both amino- and carboxy- terminal to the scissile bond (the unprimed and primed sides, respectively). The methods involve the initial determination of the primed side motif and the successive determination of the unprimed side motif. Iterative application of the methods is also provided. Substrates and inhibitors of proteases that include or compete for the cleavage site motifs determined using the methods also are provided, as are methods and compositions for using these substrates and inhibitors.
摘要:
The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, compositions, and methods for treating diseases or conditions by modulating (e.g., reducing) the level or activity of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C.
摘要:
Described herein are compositions and methods for treating a disease or disorder associated with PI3K signaling. For example, such compositions can include use of modulators of glucose metabolism, use of at least one kinase in the insulin-receptor/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and/or use of diet that influences the subject's metabolic state.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to small molecule inhibitors of PHGDH. Other embodiments of the present invention relate to methods of treating cancers using the small molecule inhibitors of PHGDH disclosed herein. Still other embodiments of the present invention relate to methods for using the small molecule inhibitors of PHGDH to study serine metabolism.
摘要:
The present invention features methods and compositions for the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and/or amelioration of cellular proliferative disorders utilizing enzymes of the serine biosynthetic pathway (e.g., phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT), or phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH)).
摘要:
Provided herein are methods for treating cancer that is resistant to treatment with an anti- ErbB therapeutic agent and which is associated with an activating MET gene mutation or a MET gene amplification. The methods involve administering to a subject a combination of an anti- ErbB therapeutic and an anti-MET therapeutic. Also provided are methods for reducing ErbB mediated signaling or PI3 kinase mediated signaling in a cancer cell.
