摘要:
Histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) and compositions containing the same are disclosed. Methods of treating diseases and conditions wherein inhibition of HDAC provides a benefit, like a cancer, a neurodegenerative disorder, a peripheral neuropathy, a neurological disease, traumatic brain injury, stroke, hypertension, malaria, an autoimmune disease, autism, autism spectrum disorders, and inflammation, also are disclosed.
摘要:
Methods, compositions and kits effective for modulating and immunomonitoring of Treg activity are provided. Therapeutic methods involving formation and uses of cleaved Foxp3 are disclosed, as well as screening assays for identifying agents effective for modulating Treg activity.
摘要:
Methods of treating autoimmune disorders, coronary artery disease, allergy symptoms, allograft rejection sepsis/toxic shock are disclosed. Some methods comprise administering one or more regulatory compositions to activate the T suppressor cells by increasing the acetylation level and/or protein level of FOXP3 in combination with a T suppressor stimulus and/or an antigen. Some methods comprise administering one or more regulatory compositions to activate the T suppressor cells by increasing the acetylation level and/or protein level of FOXP3. Some methods comprise administering soluble GITR or antibodies that bind to GITR ligand. Methods of treating cancer, infectious diseases, and immune deficiency are also disclosed as are vaccination methods. The methods comprise administering one or more regulatory compositions to inactivate the T suppressor cells by reducing the acetylation level and/or protein level of FOXP3. Improved vaccines and vaccination methods are disclosed. Methods of identifying compounds that are useful to modulate acetylation level and/or protein level of FOXP3 and treat diseases are disclosed.

摘要:
Methods for treating or preventing a Foxp3+ T regulatory cell (Treg) related disease in a subject in need thereof comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an inhibitor of a histone/protein acetyltransferase (HAT). Methods for identifying an agent useful for treating or preventing a Foxp3+ T regulatory cell (Treg) related disease comprise (a) contacting a candidate agent with a test sample comprising Foxp3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs), and (b) comparing a function of the Foxp3+ Tregs in the test sample with that in a control sample, wherein inhibition of the function of the Foxp3+ Tregs in the test sample when compared with the control sample indicates that the candidate agent is an agent useful for treating or preventing a Foxp3+ Treg related disease.
