    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to gene therapy for treating ailments that can affect vision such as retinal degeneration, retinal dystrophy, macular degeneration, macular dystrophy, ischemic retinopathies, and glaucoma. Embodiments include systems and treatments that use AAV-mediated gene therapy or non AAV- mediated DNA, mRNA, or protein therapy to target all retinal cells. An AAV virion can be introduced (e.g., via intravitreal or subretinal injection) into an eye of an individual, or systemically, to express a heterologous gene product such as BMI1 protein (B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog).

    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to the use of one or more inhibitors to treat a disease, e.g., cancer, in a subject. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that protein kinase B (AKT) and ring finger protein 167 (RNF 167)-mediated CASTOR1 degradation activates the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) independent of arginine and promotes cancer progression. Accordingly, the presently disclosed subject matter provides for compositions, methods, and kits for treating a subj ect using an RNF 167 inhibitor, an inhibitor that reduces phosphorylation of CASTOR1 at S14, ubiquitination and/or degradation of CASTOR1, or a combination thereof.
