Abstract: The invention relates to a combination of an immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD) and an inhibitor of CD147 and/or an inhibitor of MCT1 for use in treating a disease in a subject. It further relates to an inhibitor of CD147 and/or an inhibitor of MCT1 for use in treating a disease in a patient, wherein the patient is IMiD resistant. It further relates to a method of monitoring the efficacy of an IMiD treatment regimen by comparing the protein level of CD147 and/or MCT1 in samples obtained from a subject prior and during IMiD treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to modulating Cdc14B levels (cell division cycle 14 homolog B) and/or Cdh1 (Fzr1 protein, CDC20-like 1b, or fizzy-related protein) levels to sensitize cells to DNA damage by increasing the abundance of Plk1 (polo-like kinase 1) in a target cell. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to modulating Plk1 levels, and in particular to increasing Plk1 levels, to sensitize target cells such as cancer cells to cell death or apoptosis. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to inhibitors of Cdc14B and Cdh1 that sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy or radiation induced cell death or apoptosis. In addition to applications relating to cancer therapies and diagnostics, the Plk1 modulators and assays will be employed for identifying novel drugs or drug candidates useful for various proliferative and/or differentiative disorders such as major opportunistic infections, immune disorders, cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory disorders.
