Patent number: 12116602Abstract: This document provides butyrylcholinesterases having an enhanced ability to hydrolyze acyl ghrelin as well as nucleic acids encoding such butyrylcholinesterases. This document also provides methods and materials for treating obesity and/or aggression. For example, methods for administering a nucleic acid encoding a wild-type or mutant butyrylcholinesterase having the ability to hydrolyze acyl ghrelin to a mammal under conditions wherein the level of acyl ghrelin within the mammal is reduced, under conditions wherein the rate of body weight gain of the mammal is reduced, under conditions wherein the mammal's level of aggression is reduced, and/or under conditions wherein the mammal's rate of developing stress-induced tissue damage are provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and ResearchInventors: Liyi Geng, Ping Chen, William S. Brimijoin, Yang Gao

Patent number: 11865163Abstract: This document provides methods and materials for using butyrylcholinesterases (BChE) to treat cancer (e.g., triple negative breast cancer or prostate cancer). For example, methods and materials for using nucleic acid vectors (e.g., viral vectors) to express BChE polypeptides under conditions that reduce the number of cancer cells (e.g., triple negative breast cancer cells or prostate cancer cells) within a mammal (e.g., a human) and/or reduce the growth rate of cancer cells (e.g., triple negative breast cancer cells or prostate cancer cells) within a mammal (e.g., a human) are provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and ResearchInventors: William S. Brimijoin, Liewei Wang, Yang Gao, Ping Chen, Liyi Geng, Jia Yu, Judy C. Boughey, Matthew P. Goetz
