  • Publication number: 20190091220
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating a condition associated with mTORC1 hyperactivation or TSC2-deficient cancer, the method comprising administering to a subject having the cancer a pharmaceutically-effective amount of a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitor. In some embodiments, the condition associated with mTORC1 hyperactivation is tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). In some embodiments, the condition associated with mTORC1 hyperactivation is lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). In some embodiments, the condition associated with mTORC1 hyperactivation is TSC2-deficient cancer.

  • Patent number: 9925202
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide compositions and methods for treating lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) comprising inhibiting COX overexpression and prostaglandin over production by administering at least one COX inhibitor and/or prostaglandin biosynthetic pathway inhibitors. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease. Some LAM occurances are associated with mutations in the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) locus. LAM occurs almost exclusively in women, usually of childbearing age.

  • Publication number: 20140050665
    Abstract: Treatment of lymphangioleiomyomatosis with the MEK1/2 inhibitor CI-1040 delayed the development of primary tumors and blocked the estrogen-induced lung metastases in treated animals. Such treatment also reduced the number of circulating ELT3 cells and decreased their lung colonization after intravenous injection.
