  • Publication number: 20230398133
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses use of a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor for treating cellular senescence-related skin diseases and a pharmaceutical composition for treating the cellular senescence-related skin diseases, belonging to the technical field of medicine. In the present disclosure, studies have found that pharmaceutical compositions containing the BCL-2 inhibitor can significantly ameliorate skin erythema and scale in imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse models, significantly reduce a thickness of skin lesions, and decrease expression of cellular senescence-related proteins P16 and P21 and mRNA expression levels of p16, p21 and other genes in the skin lesions of the psoriasis mouse models. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition containing the BCL-2 inhibitor can significantly reduce infiltration of CD4+ T cells in dermis of the skin lesions of the psoriasis mouse models, and mRNA expression levels of skin lesion inflammatory factors such as IFN-?, IL-17A, IL-22 and IL-23.

  • Patent number: 11542502
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of using a microRNA-210 inhibitor in preparation of drugs for treating inflammatory skin diseases. The present inventor has demonstrated through a large number of experiments that in vitro inhibition of microRNA-210 expression can significantly enhance the expression of its target gene STAT6, thereby inhibiting proliferation and chemokine CCL20 secretion of keratinocytes, further inhibiting chemotactic T cell migration towards skin lesion, and also inhibiting differentiation of TH1 and TH17. MicroRNA-210 knockout and intradermal injection of a microRNA-210 inhibitor (cholesterol-modified antagomiR-210) on a skin lesion specifically inhibit the expression of microRNA-210, so that skin inflammation in mice can be significantly inhibited, and T cell immune imbalance is mitigated. The present invention provides a new pathophysiological mechanism for inflammatory skin diseases and provides a new strategy for preparing drugs for treating inflammatory skin diseases.

  • Publication number: 20180305745
    Abstract: Disclosed are a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) biomarker and diagnostic kit thereof. The SLE biomarker is a segment within 1500 bp upstream from a transcription start site of a human IFI44L gene, namely chr1: 79,085,190-79,085,311 (hg19), and a DNA sequence thereof is represented by SEQ ID NO.1. The SLE diagnostic kit in the present invention comprises primers having sequences represented by SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3, and a probe having a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.4.

  • Patent number: 7807374
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for diagnosing, monitoring and/or treating an autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease. In particular, the present invention provides methods for diagnosing, monitoring and treating an autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) or chronic inflammatory disease (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus) based on detecting or altering (e.g., altering expression or methylation status of) autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease proteins (e.g., CD70 and CD40L). The present invention also provides kits for detecting methylation status of autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease proteins (e.g., CD70 and CD40L) and for diagnosing, monitoring and/or treating autoimmune or chronic inflammatory diseases.
