  • Patent number: 11376248
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting and/or treating a subject having an aneurysm or at risk for developing an aneurysm. It has been discovered that a key metabolite of the kynurenine (Kyn) pathway, a major route for the metabolism of essential amino acid tryptophan (Trp) into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), plays a critical role in the formation of aneurysms, for example abdominal aortic aneurysms. In particular, it has been discovered that 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA), a product of kynureninase (KYNU), plays a causative role in the formation of aneurysms by, for example exerting pro-inflammatory effects on vascular smooth muscle cells. It has further been discovered that elevated levels of 3-HAA are indicative of the presence and/or progression of an aneurysm, and 3-HAA levels correlate with the size (aortic diameter) of the aneurysm.

  • Patent number: 10980779
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of hyperglycemia. Thorough multiple analyses, inventors demonstrated that Gfi1 is expressed in pancreatic acinar cells, starting from the first stages of pancreatic embryonic development. Furthermore, they observed that Gfi1 mRNA levels remain steady throughout embryonic development, while they significantly increase during the first days of life. They challenged conditional mutant mice with high fat diet for 5 months and monitored their weight and glycemia weekly. All the animals displayed a rapid increase in body mass as expected. While control mice rapidly developed a massive hyperglycemia, mutant mice remained normoglycemic throughout the entire experiment. A similar protection from induced diabetes was observed upon treatment with a high dose of Streptozotocin.
