  • Publication number: 20140148496
    Abstract: ATM kinase is shown to regulate proteasome-mediated protein turnover through suppression of the expression of the ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 (Interferon Stimulated Gene 15). Silencing of the ISG15 pathway restored both the ubiquitin and autophagy pathways, and the UV-mediated degradation of their substrates in A-T cells. The ATM kinase negatively regulates the ISG15 pathway, and the constitutively elevated ISG15 pathway induces proteinopathy in A-T cells, and in A-T patients. These findings indicate that proteasome-mediated protein degradation is impaired in A-T cells due to elevated expression of the ISG15 conjugation pathway, which contributes to progressive neurodegeneration in A-T patients. The ISG15 pathway is a new target for both detection and treatment of A-T Inhibitors if ISG15 expression can be used to inhibit or attenuate neurodegeneration in A-T patients.

    Abstract: A composition and method for the treatment of the side-effects associated with the administration of cancer chemotherapeutic agents involves the oral ingestion of a slow release capsule containing adenine. In some embodiments, the slow release capsule also contains orotate. The systemic administration of a proton pump inhibitor decreases systemic absorption of orotate, and the systemic administration of allopurinol decreases the formation of 2,8-dihydroxy adenine from adenine. In an alternative embodiment, cationic liposomes contain purine/pyrimidine precursors. The cationic liposomes bind to the cells lining the mucosa of the intestinal tract and then the contents of the cationic liposome are then taken up in the interior of the cells to prevent the metabolism of the cancer treatment drug 5-FU into a toxic species. A method for prevention of oral stomatitis and a method for treatment of dysplastic tissue are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20130244964
    Abstract: The present invention provides an isolated HIV-1 mutant and isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising HIV-RT coding sequences harboring a novel mutation in the S68 codon, and in particular, deletions of the S68 codon. This novel deletion reduces the sensitivity of HIV to various nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Methods of using this mutation for selecting effective antiretroviral agents in vitro and in vivo, methods for monitoring infection progression in HIV-infected individuals and methods for avoiding the emergence of and/or to treat individuals infected with HIV comprising mutations, including deletions, at the S68 codon of HIV-RT are provided.
