Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an ASM inhibitor as an active ingredient for preventing or treating degenerative neurological diseases. According to the present invention, when ASM is partially removed in an Alzheimer's disease model mouse, that is when ASM is inhibited therein, such when as an Alzheimer's disease model mouse with a partial removal of ASM is in a parabionic union with an Alzheimer's disease model mouse, or when an Alzheimer's disease model mouse is injected with the serum of an Alzheimer's disease model mouse from which ASM gene has been removed, the deposition of ?-amyloid in the brain tissue is inhibited and the ability to learn and remember are improved, and the present invention confirms such superb effects. Accordingly, ASM inhibitor can be effectively used to prevent or treat degenerative neurological diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and reagents for treating cancer cells for therapeutic purposes, by contacting with a sumoylation inhibitor in a dose effective to block sumoylation of TFAP2A. In breast cancer cells the sumoylation inhibitor induces a basal to luminal shift in phenotype. Sumoylation inhibitors also reduce the number of cancer stem cells in a cancer cell population. Inhibition of sumoylation makes cancer cells more responsive to conventional chemotherapeutic therapy and radiation therapy and decreases recurrence or development of metastases.
