The present invention provides methods of promoting arteriogenesis in a subject. Embodiments include methods comprising: administering an effective dose of tocotrienol to the subject; causing an increase in Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase Metallopeptidase Inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) in vessels of cerebrovascular collateral circulation in the subject; attenuating the activity of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2); thereby promoting arteriogenesis.

The invention provides methods for identifying an individuals with a disease or disorder who is less likely to respond to immunotherapy alone, the method comprising determining the presence of a stromal gene signature in a sample from the individual, said signature comprising one or more of FAP, FN1, MMP2, PDGFRB, or THY, wherein an increase in the level of expression of the one or more genes in the stroma gene signature relative to a median level identifies an individual for treatment with an immunotherapy and with a suppressive stromal antagonist. In some aspects, the invention provides methods for treating an individual displaying the stromal gene signature. In other aspects, the invention provides kits for determining the presence of a stroma gene signature in a sample from an individual.

The application concerns means for determining the stage of hepatic tissue damage, in particular the hepatic fibrosis score of subjects infected with one or more hepatitis viruses. In particular, the means of the invention involve measuring the levels of expression of selected genes, said selected genes being:SPP1, andat least one gene from among A2M and VIM, andat least one gene from among IL8, CXCL10 and ENG, andoptionally, at least one gene from among the list of the following sixteen genes: IL6ST, p14ARF, MMP9, ANGPT2, CXCL11, MMP2, MMP7, S100A4, TIMP1, CHI3L1, COL1A1, CXCL1, CXCL6, IHH, IRF9 and MMP1.

The invention further discloses compositions for preventing and treating diseases.

Biomarkers, biomarker panels and methods for diagnosing osteoarthritis (OA) and determining treatment are disclosed, using measurement of the expression level of certain polypeptides in a test sample from a subject, including MCP1, IL8, KC, MMP2, MMP3, Apolipoprotein A1, and Apolipoprotein E. Related methods for monitoring OA treatment efficacy, diagnostic reagents, and kits are also described.

The invention provides the application of a lignan compound in the preparation of anti-hepatic fibrosis medicine. After in vitro, in vivo, and molecular level experiments, the lignan compounds described in the present invention prove that they have strong anti-hepatic stellate cell proliferation effects, anti-hepatic fibrosis effects, and anti-matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) all have low IC50 values, have good binding and inhibit their biological activity, so they can be used as anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs .

The invention discloses a kit for screening cancer brain metastases. The invention also discloses the use of the reagent for detecting the expression level of long-chain non-coding RNA lnc-MMP2-2 in the preparation of reagents for screening cancer brain metastasis. By detecting the expression level of lnc-MMP2-2, the kit of the present invention can determine the risk of brain metastases of lung cancer in the subject, can be used for auxiliary diagnosis of brain metastases of lung cancer, and provide effective basis for patients to take relevant treatment measures or decision-making , the clinical application prospect is good.
