Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing or treating osteoarthritis comprising administrating rebamipide or a pharmaceutical composition comprising rebamipide as an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a subject in need thereof. The pharmaceutical composition may be for oral administration, for example an oral solid dosage form of a tablet or capsule form. The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated into a unit dosage form suitable for orally administering rebamipide in a dose ranging from 0.5 to 50 mg/kg, preferably from 0.6 to 6 mg/kg.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing PIAS3 as an active ingredient for the prevention or treatment of cancer or immune disease. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition containing the PIAS3 gene or an expressing protein thereof as an active ingredient for the prevention or treatment of cancer or immune disease, to an immunosuppressant composition, to a method for reducing or inhibiting undifferentiated T cells into Th17 cells using the PIAS3 gene or an expressing protein thereof, and to a method for activating regulatory T cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein acting as a double-antagonist to TNF-alpha (?) and IL-21. The composition containing the double antagonist to TNF-? and Il-21 (TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein), known as major causes of autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, one of autoimmune diseases, can reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokine, increase the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine, and suppress the differentiation of osteoclasts better than single proteins such as TNFR2-Fc and IL21R-Fc. The TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein of the present invention has not only excellent treatment effect on arthritis in CIA mouse model not also excellent treatment effect on autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis by increasing the expression of Treg, the immune suppressive cells. Therefore, the TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein of the present invention can be effectively used as an active ingredient for the composition for the prevention and treatment of autoimmune disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein, more precisely to TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein acting as a double-antagonist to TNF-? and TWEAK, known as major causes of autoimmune arthritis which is one of autoimmune diseases. When the composition comprising TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein was treated to Th17 cells, the secretion of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17 was reduced but the secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 generated in Treg cells was increased. Such effect of TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein was far greater than that of a single protein such as TNFR2-Fc or TWEAK-Fc. The TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein of the present invention has not only excellent treatment effect on arthritis in CIA mouse model not also excellent treatment effect on autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis by increasing the expression of Treg, the immune suppressive cells.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition and a health functional food for preventing or treating obesity comprising a rebamipide compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt as an active component. It is confirmed that when a rebamipide compound of the present disclosure is administered to a mouse model induced with obesity, it shows excellent effects of reducing weight, reducing adipocyte, and reducing a total cholesterol content in the body, as compared with a non-administered control group, and also, it shows an excellent effect of suppressing differentiation of cytotoxic Th17 cells that generate and secrets inflammatory cytokine and an excellent effect of improving activity of regulatory T cells (Treg) capable of suppressing a function of abnormally activated immune cells and controlling an inflammatory reaction. Thus, the rebamipide compound can be used for producing a medicine and a functional food which can effectively treat obesity caused by abnormality of immune modulation.
