  • Patent number: 11413324
    Abstract: During development, OPCs migrate extensively throughout the spinal cord, but their migration is restricted at transition zones (TZ). At these specialized locations, unique glial cells in both zebrafish and mice are at least partially responsible for preventing peripheral OPC migration, but the mechanisms of this regulation are not understood. In order to elucidate the signals that mediate OPC segregation at motor exit point (MEP) TZs, we performed an unbiased small molecule screen. Using chemical screening and in vivo imaging, we discovered that inhibition of A2a adenosine receptors (AR) causes ectopic OPC migration out of the spinal cord. In our studies, we provide in vivo evidence that endogenous neuromodulation by adenosine regulates OPC migration along motor axons, specifically at the MEP TZ. This work opens exciting possibilities for understanding how OPCs reach their final destinations during development and identifies mechanisms that could promote their migration in disease.

  • Patent number: 10655130
    Abstract: Described herein is a previously unknown function of XBP1 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). It is shown that XBP1 is preferentially spliced and activated in TNBC, and that deletion of XBP1 significantly blocks triple negative breast tumor growth. Strikingly, XBP1 is required for the self-renewal of breast tumor initiating cells (TICs). Genome-wide mapping of the XBP1 transcriptional regulatory network identified a fundamental role for XBP1 in regulating the response to hypoxia via the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1? (HIF1?). Importantly, activation of this pathway appears to carry prognostic implications, as expression of the XBP1-dependent signature is associated with shorter survival times in human TNBC.

  • Patent number: 10385399
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining the oxygen status of a cancer of an individual. The method comprise determining the transcriptional expression level of ADM (SEQ ID No:1), and/or at least one gene selected from ANKRD37 (SEQ ID NO.: 3), P4HA2 (SEQ ID NO.: 12), NDRG1 (SEQ ID NO: 10), SLC2A1 (SEQ ID NO:15), P4HA1 (SEQ ID NO.: 11), LOX (SEQ ID NO.: 9), C3orf28 (SEQ ID NO.: 6), BNIP3L (SEQ ID NO.: 5), BNIP3 (SEQ ID NO.:4), EGLN3 (SEQ ID NO.: 7), PDK1 (SEQ ID NO.: 13), PFKFB3 (SEQ ID NO.: 14), KCTD11 (SEQ ID NO.: 8), and/or ALDOA (SEQ ID NO.: 2), in a cancer sample. The transcriptional level is then correlated to the transcriptional level to at least one reference gene, and oxygen status 10 is then evaluated by comparing the correlated transcription level with a predetermined reference sample comprising cancer cells characterized by a high oxygen level.

  • Patent number: 10292980
    Abstract: In DN-DISC1 mice, a mouse model for major mental illnesses, the model that expresses pathological phenotypes relevant to schizophrenia, mood disorders, and addiction simultaneously, the inventors of the present invention found pronounced levels of oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex, but not in the striatum. These mice also displayed greater amounts of GAPDH-Siah1 binding, a protein-protein interaction that is activated under exposure to oxidative stress. The present inventors investigated the role of oxidative stress in other organ systems. As detailed herein, the inventors found that GAPDH-Siah1 binding was increased in mouse models of cardiac failure. It was also found, that certain novel analogs of deprenyl, significantly inhibited GAPDH-Siah1 binding in cardiac tissue.

  • Patent number: 10247737
    Abstract: A method of classifying a subject having idiopathic scoliosis (IS) or at risk of developing IS comprising: determining the cellular response to Gi stimulation in a cell sample from the subject in the presence of OPN; determining the cellular response to Gi stimulation in a cell sample from the subject in the absence of OPN; and comparing the cellular response obtained in the presence of OPN with the cellular response obtained in the absence of OPN, whereby the comparing step enables the classification of the subject into one IS functional group. Also provided is the use of the foregoing method to classify borderline subjects and kits for applying the methods.
