  • Patent number: 10214591
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a monoclonal antibody specifically binding to human Long Interspersed Element-1 ORF2 encoded protein (L1-ORF2p) obtained from hybridoma chA1, and derivatives and uses thereof, including for prediction of response of cancer patients to NNRTI treatments. It also relates to a method for early detection of cell transformation in pre-neoplastic tissues of a human subject, comprising detecting in cells of a pre-neoplastic tissue sample from said subject the expression of L1-ORF2p, wherein the expression of L1-ORF2p indicates the presence of cell transformation in said pre-neoplastic tissues. It also relates to a method for detecting progression of colon adenoma in a human subject suffering from colon adenoma, based on detection of an increase of L1-ORF2p expression.

  • Publication number: 20140356459
    Abstract: The invention relates to molecular targets and their use to counteract tumors. Naturally occurring microRNAs that regulate human oncogenes and methods of use thereof are described. Suitable nucleic acids for use in the methods and compositions described herein include, but are not limited to, pri-miRNA, pre-miRNA, mature miRNA or fragments of variants thereof that retain the biological activity of the mature miRNA and DNA encoding a pri-miRNA, pre-miRNA, mature miRNA, fragments or variants thereof, or regulatory elements of the miRNA. The here claimed approach is efficacious also on Cancer Stem Cells.

  • Patent number: 8785493
    Abstract: Activation of HIV-1 replication causes oxidative stress, which in turn potentiates HIV-1 replication. The common basis for the compounds of the present invention is: A) the capacity of reactivating HIV-1 from latency, and B) the ability to counteract the cellular machinery which activates in order to limit the effects of oxidative stress. In this way, oxidative stress can be potentiated and a “chain reaction” is sparked. This “chain reaction” induces a more efficient reactivation of HIV-1 from latency and, in some cases, induces selective killing of the infected cells. Actions A) and B) can either be carried out by one drug exerting both effects, or obtained by the combined use of distinct drugs. There are two main cellular machineries counteracting oxidative stress, i.e. the thioredoxin (Trx) thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) system and glutathione. Herein, we present drug strategies capable of exerting action B) by blocking either of the two machineries.
