Abstract: The present invention is directed to hybrid chimera antisense oligonucleotides including deoxyribonucleotide and 2?-deoxy-2?-fluoro-?-D-arabinonucleotide which binds to a Foxp3 mRNA, and to methods of use thereof. The methods include the use for reducing expression level of Foxp3 gene, increasing anti-tumor activity, and treating cancer in a subject.

Abstract: Methods and compounds for treating cancer by, for example, modulating immune system activity, are provided.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: This invention is in the fields of immunology and autoimmunity. More particularly it concerns methods of treating patients with compounds which are useful agents for inhibiting the functions of TIP60 in the treatment of an individual suffering, for example, from ulcerative colitis and other irritable bowel diseases.
