摘要:
Methods for treating autophagy-related disorders with agents which modulate expression of the gene encoding tyrosine phosphatase receptor type sigma (PTPRS) or which modulate the biological activity of the PTPRS gene product (PTPsigma). Methods for modulating autophagy in a cell with agents which modulate expression of PTPRS or which modulate the biological activity of PTPsigma; and related diagnostic methods, screening methods, and agents.
摘要:
The invention includes methods for analyzing copies of an antibody microarray for a protein complexed with another molecule. In this method, one biological sample is divided and then incubated with copies of an antibody microarray. Each capture antibody is paired with a detection antibody, and only one detection antibody is incubated with each copy of the antibody microarray. The invention further includes methods to compare protein complexes under different conditions, methods of detecting an auto-immune response, and methods of detecting interaction between a protein and a small molecule.
摘要:
A method for screening for an osteogenic compound that is a PTEN antagonist. Also included are methods for enhancing bone formation and pharmaceutical compositions therefore, as well as methods for treating conditions associated with bone loss.

摘要:
In one aspect the present invention provides a method for detecting a mutation associated with renal cancer in a subject, comprising screening a test sample derived from the subject for the presence of one or more mutations in a PBRMl gene or a product thereof.
摘要:
A method of diagnosing the malignant potential of a pancreatic cystic lesion in a subject including: detecting a glycan alteration in MUC5AC in a sample of pancreatic cystic lesion fluid from a subject, determining whether the glycan alteration is differentially present in the sample, and diagnosing the malignant potential of the pancreatic cystic lesion. A method of diagnosing the malignant potential of a pancreatic cystic lesion in a subject including: (a) detecting a glycan alteration in MUC5AC in a sample of pancreatic cystic lesion fluid from a subject, (b) detecting CA 19-9 in the sample, (c) determining whether the glycan alteration and CA 19-9 are differentially present in the sample, and (d) diagnosing the malignant potential of the pancreatic cystic lesion. Related methods of treatment and kits also are included.
摘要:
A method for enriching a population of somatic mammary stem cells or mammary tumor stem cells based on low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6). Also included are methods for screening for LRP6 modulators, as well as methods for reducing Wnt signaling, for treating Wnt signaling-related diseases, for detecting mammary basal-like cells, for diagnosing basal-like breast cancer, and for inhibiting proliferation of a tumor expressing LRP6, and compositions thereof.
摘要:
The inventors disclose a 1.95Å crystal structure of the MR ligand binding domain containing a single C808S mutation bound to a corticosterone and the fourth LXXLL motif of steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC1-4). The inventors demonstrate that SRC1-4 is the most potent MR-binding motif and mutations that disrupt the MR/ SRC1-4 interactions abolish the ability of the full-length SRC1 to coactivate MR. The structure also reveals a compact steroid binding pocket with a unique topology that is primarily defined by key residues of helices 6 and 7. Also described are novel ligands for MR, methods for screening for and designing novel MR ligands, and methods for treating MR-related diseases.
