Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration for use in treatment of cancer with a proton ionophore and relates to a proton ionophore for use in treatment of cancer with an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration. The present invention further relates to a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use comprising (i) an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration and (ii) a proton ionophore, to said combined preparation for use in treatment of cancer, and to kits and methods related thereto.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition useful for the diagnosis of diseases associated with aberrant expression of the genes encoding the secreted proteins Futrin 1, 2, 3 and/or 4(=R-Spondin 2, 3, 1 and 4, respectively), e.g. in connection with tumors or diseases of the muscle, kidneys or bones. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a compound which is capable of modifying (a) the expression of the gene encoding Futrin 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 or (b) the activity of the Futrin 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the finding that Syndecans (Sdc) are receptors of Rspondin-2 (Rspo2) and Rspondin-3 (Rspo3). Thus, the present invention relates to the identification of Rspo2, Rspo3 and/or Sdc activity modulators by determining if a test compound has the ability to modulate the binding of an Rspo2 and/or Rspo3 polypeptide to an Sdc polypeptide. Further, the invention refers to novel uses for antagonists of Rspo2 and/or Rspo3 in the treatment of Sdc-associated disorders and for Sdc antagonists in the treatment of Rspo2- and/or Rspo3-associated disorders.
