Abstract: The present invention provides methods for modulating SET activity by contacting SET with a binding agent such as an ApoE peptide derivative. In one embodiment of the invention, a pharmaceutical composition capable of modulating SET activity is administered to a patient for the treatment of an inflammatory or neurological condition. In another embodiment of the invention, compounds efficacious for the treatment of inflammatory and neurological conditions are identified by screening for a binding agent capable of competing with or inhibiting the binding of an ApoE derivative to SET.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of modulating calcineurin activity in a cell by contacting the cell with at least one ApoE analog. Methods of treating various disorders associated with calcineurin activity using one or more ApoE analogs are also disclosed. In particular, the present invention provides a method of reducing demyelination and promoting remyelination in a subject. Methods of treating spinal cord or nerve injury in a subject are also described.

Abstract: Provided are methods of predicting or assessing the level of severity of cancer or cancer progression in a patient comprising measuring levels of SET expression in a biological sample from a patient and comparing levels of SET expression to a control sample or standard value. Methods for predicting or evaluating the efficacy of a SET therapeutic and kits comprising at least one reagent for measuring SET protein expression are also provided.
