  • Publication number: 20150110774
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound, composition and method for reducing or inhibiting the differentiation or development of progenitor blood cells into malignant cells, leukemia cells or physiologically pathological cells. Particularly, the invention describes the use of inhibitors of S100 proteins, including myeloid related proteins. Inhibition of the activity or synthesis of S100 proteins results into reduction or inhibition of the production or proliferation of aberrant and cancer blood cells.

    Inventors: Pascal Rouleau, Carle Ryckman, Philippe Tessier
  • Publication number: 20140348849
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and methods for modulating, reducing or inhibiting, inflammatory reactions in a patient. Particularly, inflammatory reactions that are targeted by the present invention are cell migration, secretion of toxic products and proteolysis at a site of inflammation. Reduction of inflammation manifestations and reactions occurs by using an anti-S100 polynucleotide or polypeptide inhibitor or antagonist, which is essentially targeted against S100A8, S100A9 or S100A12, alone or in combination with other inhibitors of chemokines or immune modulating products.

  • Patent number: 7632802
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and composition for inducing lymphocyte proliferation and migration, and for reducing the risks of microbial infections in patients immuno-suppressed. The present invention particularly relates to the use of S100 protein, such as MRP, to induce the proliferation, differentiation and release of immune cells from bone marrow. More particularly, S100A8, S100A9, S100A12 and S100A8/A9 are administered to patients with lowered neutrophil blood concentrations.
