  • Patent number: 8809002
    Abstract: The disclosure features a variety of compositions and methods for modulating an interaction between MUC1 and caspase-8 and/or an interaction between MUC1 and a DED-containing protein (e.g., an anti-apoptotic DED-containing protein or a pro-apoptotic DED-containing protein). Such methods and compositions are useful for the treatment or prevention of e.g., a variety of pathological disorders characterized by elevated or decreased levels of apoptosis. Moreover, the compositions and methods are also useful to identify, design, and generate compounds that modulate the interactions. The compounds and/or pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds can be used in the treatment of disease.
