76 results about "Apoptosis pathway" patented technology

Cellular Apoptosis Pathway Apoptosis is a naturally occurring process by which a cell is directed to programmed cell death. ... The intrinsic apoptosis pathway begins when an injury occurs within the cell. Intrinsic stresses such as oncogenes, direct DNA damage, hypoxia, and survival factor deprivation, can activate the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. p53 is a sensor of cellular stress and is a critical activator of the intrinsic pathway.

Visualization and quantitation of cellular cytotoxicity using cell-permeable fluorogenic protease substrates and caspase activity indicator markers

This invention provides a non-radioactive assay to monitor and quantify the target-cell killing activities mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). This assay is predicated on the discovery that apoptosis pathway activation and, in particular, granzyme B activity, provides a measure of cytotoxic effector cell activity. In one embodiment, measurement of CTL-induced granzyme B activation in target cells is achieved through detection of the specific cleavage of fluorogenic granzyme B substrates. This assay reliably detects antigen-specific CTL killing of target cells, and provides a more sensitive, more informative and safer alternative to the standard 51Cr-release assay most often used to quantify CTL responses. The assay can be used to study CTL-mediated killing of primary host target cells of different cell lineages, and enables the study of antigen-specific cellular immune responses in real time at the single-cell level. As such, the assay can provide a valuable tool for studies of infectious disease pathogenesis and development of new vaccines and immunotherapies.

Bad phosphorylation determines ovarian cancer chemo-sensitivity and patient survival

ActiveUS20140017703A1Disease diagnosisBiological testingPlatinum resistanceChemo sensitivity
Despite initial sensitivity BAD-protein phosphorylation were evaluated in patient samples and cell lines as determinants of chemo-sensitivity and / or clinical outcome, and as therapeutic targets. Induced in-vitro OVCA cisplatin-resistance was associated with BAD-pathway expression. Expression of the pathway was also associated with resistance of 7 different cancers cell-types to 8 chemotherapeutic agents. Phosphorylation of the BAD-protein was associated with platinum-resistance in OVCA cells and primary OVCA specimens, and also overall patient survival. Targeted modulation of BAD-phosphorylation levels influenced cisplatin-sensitivity. A 47-gene BAD-pathway signature was associated in-vitro phospho-BAD levels and with survival of 838 patients with ovarian, breast, colon, and brain cancer. The survival advantage associated with both BAD-phosphorylation and also the BAD-pathway signature was independent of surgical cytoreductive status. The BAD apoptosis pathway influences human cancer chemo-sensitivity and overall survival. The pathway is useful as a biomarker of therapeutic response, patient survival, and therapeutic target.

This invention clearly identifies the current agriculture-based diseases facing United States citizens such as, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and other degenerative diseases that did not exist in our hunter-gatherer ancestors. The United States government has established the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) to solve the problem. The DGAC's approach includes exercise, better agricultural based food choices plus vitamins-mineral supplements that are sex and age adjusted. We designed supplement compositions composed of unmodified dried fruits, herbs, including roots and tubers, many of which contain a lot of phytoestrogens. Currently, the medical profession has a bias against phytoestrogens, based on science that we believe is incorrectly interpreted. Today, women are afraid of getting breast cancer, and men are afraid of getting enlarged breasts from phytoestrogens. We will reinterpret the pre-clinical medical studies to alleviate these accepted concerns. Our supplement ingredients are chosen based on the different apoptosis pathways, which they stimulate, modulate or inhibit.
