Abstract:
The present invention relates to matriptase antibodies and immunoconjugates of matriptase antibodies with cytotoxic agents and the use thereof for killing or inhibiting the growth of matriptase-expressing cancer cells, such as those of multiple myeloma and breast cancers. In particular, immunoconjugates comprising a matriptase monoclonal antibody and anticancer agents such as doxorubicin (DOX) are introduced, which are equipotent to anticancer agents used in free form but exhibit significantly reduced cardiotoxicity and almost no adverse effects on normal bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells that do not express matriptase. The present invention also provides compositions comprising these new immunoconjugates and use of them for treatment of malignancies comprising cells that express matriptase. In addition, administration of a matriptase antibody or immunoconjugates of a matriptase antibody and a cytotoxic agent in combination with administration of an immunomodulatory agent, such as thalidomide or an analog thereof, provides a more effective treatment of these cancers.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an alternative strategy for expressing the antisense sequence of a miRNA. This system allows for continuous production of the antisense sequence and subsequently complete knockdown of the targeted miRNA.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of treating a cardiac disease by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one compound capable of inhibiting AC5 to a patient. The compound capable of inhibiting AC5 may be administered singly or in combination with another agent, such as, for instance a β-blocker. In some embodiments, the AC5 inhibiting compound is 9-β-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (AraAde). The compound may be administered in an amount of about 1 to about 200 mg/kg/day, about 1 to about 100 mg/kg/day, about 10 to about 80 mg/kg/day, about 12 to about 40 mg/kg/day or about 15 to about 25 mg/kg/day. In some embodiments, the compound is administered parenterally. The cardiac disease may be, for instance, myocardial infarction (MI) or heart failure (HF). The compound capable of inhibiting AC5 may be administered alone or in conjunction with one or more other active agents. Likewise, the invention provides a method of treating a heart attack, a method of inhibiting myocardial apoptosis, and a method of treating heart failure by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one compound capable of inhibiting AC5 to a patient in the same manner.
Abstract translation:本发明提供了一种治疗心脏病的方法,其通过向患者施用药学上有效量的至少一种能够抑制AC5的化合物。 能够抑制AC5的化合物可以单独施用或与另一种试剂例如β-阻滞剂组合施用。 在一些实施方案中,抑制AC5的化合物是9-β-D-阿拉伯呋喃糖基腺嘌呤(AraAde)。 化合物可以以约1至约200mg / kg /天,约1至约100mg / kg /天,约10至约80mg / kg /天,约12至约40mg / kg的量施用 /天或约15至约25mg / kg /天。 在一些实施方案中,所述化合物肠胃外给药。 心脏病可以是例如心肌梗死(MI)或心力衰竭(HF)。 能够抑制AC5的化合物可以单独施用或与一种或多种其它活性剂一起施用。 同样,本发明提供了治疗心脏病发作的方法,抑制心肌细胞凋亡的方法,以及通过以相同的方式向患者施用药学上有效量的至少一种能够抑制AC5的化合物来治疗心力衰竭的方法。
