Abstract: Although it can be farnesylated, the mutant lamin A protein expressed in Hutchison Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) cannot be defarnesylated because the characteristic mutation causes deletion of a cleavage site necessary for binding the protease ZMPSTE24 and effecting defarnesylation. The result is an aberrant farnesylated protein (called “progerin”) that alters normal lamin A function as a dominant negative, as well as assuming its own aberrant function through its association with the nuclear membrane. The retention of farnesylation, and potentially other abnormal properties of progerin and other abnormal lamin gene protein products, produces disease. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) (both direct effectors and indirect inhibitors) will inhibit the formation of progerin, cause a decrease in lamin A protein, and/or an increase prelamin A protein. Decreasing the amount of aberrant protein improves cellular effects caused by and progerin expression.

Abstract: The present application is directed to the use of X-ray contrast media that act as universal antigens that are labeled herein as “pseudoantigens.” X-ray contrast media have the potential to exist in an aggregated state that is greater in increased concentrations. In this aggregated state, contrast media assume the role of multivalent antigens and can successfully compete with any other antigens involved in antibody-antigen reactions that lead to anaphylaxis. In this competition, the large quantity of contrast media serves to inhibit the adverse effects of antibody-antigen reactions without the contrast media itself creating antibodies or creating toxicity problems.
