  • Publication number: 20230390248
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing tumor penetration of an anticancer drug, comprising losartan as an active ingredient, and a use thereof, wherein in the composition, losartan decomposes collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are main components of the extracellular matrix, to enhance the penetration of various anticancer drugs, including an antibody for cancer treatment, into the center of a tumor and uniformly distribute the various anticancer drugs, thereby improving a cancer treatment effect of an anticancer drug.

  • Publication number: 20230383346
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of brain diseases caused by microplastic exposure and a use thereof, wherein it was confirmed that polyethylene microspheres (PS) in a mouse animal model orally administered with the PS penetrate brain tissue to change the level of gene expression inside the brain tissue, thereby causing brain diseases, and thus the present invention is intended to provide: a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of brain diseases caused by microplastic exposure, the biomarker composition using a gene in which the expression level in an individual suspected of exposure to PS is identified; and a method for predicting the prognosis of brain diseases using the biomarker composition.

  • Publication number: 20230212637
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of brain disease caused by microplastic exposure; and a use thereof. More particularly, it was confirmed that polyethylene microspheres (PS) in a mouse animal model orally administered with the PS penetrate brain tissue to change the level of metabolites inside the brain tissue and the diversity of intestinal microorganisms, thereby causing brain disease, and thus the present invention is intended to provide a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of brain disease caused by microplastic exposure, and a method for predicting the prognosis of brain disease using same.

  • Publication number: 20210301351
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancy induced by exposure to microplastics and use thereof, and more particularly, it was confirmed that the expression level of CD44, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, PD-L1, NPAS2, NR1D1, DNMT1, SLC7A2, PCDH7 and CLDN7 was changed in cancer cell lines and animal models treated with polystyrene microspheres which are the one type of microplastic for 4 weeks, and malignancy was induced due to an increase in proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer cells by the change in the expression level of the gene, and 5-year overall survival rates in gastric cancer patients decreased and thus the genes may be provided as a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancies by exposure to microplastics.
