Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a subject, such as a subject that has cancer, that include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a STING antagonist or a cGAS inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or co-crystal thereof to a subject identified as having (i) one or both of (i) decreased TREX1 level and/or activity, and (ii) increased cGAS/STING signaling pathway activity, e.g., as compared to a reference level, and/or (ii) an elevated level of cGAMP in a serum or tumor sample of the subject as compared to a reference level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for detecting immune system activation and/or the presence of an immune disorder in a patient. More particularly, methods and compositions for detecting immune system activation and/or the presence of an immune disorder in a patient by detecting, for example, the concentration of certain metabolites of 13C-labeled glutamine, 13C-labeled palmitate, and/or 13C-labeled glucose.

Abstract: Benzodiazepine compounds, and methods for using those compounds are provided. Some of the benzodiazepine compounds include 1,4-benzodiazepine-2-one and 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione compounds of structures: wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined. The invention also includes enantiomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs or derivatives of the benzodiazepine compounds. Any one or more of these benzodiazepine compounds can be used to treat a variety of dysregulatory disorders related to cellular death. Such disorders include autoimmune disorders, inflammatory conditions, hyperproliferative conditions, viral infections, and atherosclerosis. In addition, the above compounds can be used to prepare medicaments to treat the above-described dysregulatory disorders. The benzodiazepines can also be used in drugs screening assays and other diagnostic methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical compounds, methods for their discovery, and their therapeutic use. In particular, the present invention provides benzodiazepine derivatives and methods of using benzodiazepine derivatives as therapeutic agents to treat a number of conditions associated with the faulty regulation of the processes of programmed cell death, autoimmunity, inflammation, and hyperproliferation, and the like.
