Systemic suppression of the complement system has been shown to be effective to treat inflammatory disease, yet at the potential cost of compromising host defense and immune homeostasis. Herein disclosed are methods for antigen-specific targeting of complement inhibitors that show that complement inhibitors targeted to the proximal tubular epithelium protect against tubulointerstitial injury and renal dysfunction in a rat model of nephrosis. It is shown that appropriate targeting of a systemically administered complement inhibitor to a site of disease markedy enhances efficacy and obviates the need to systemically inhibit complement. Additionally, it is shown by specifically inhibiting the terminal pathway of complement, that the membrane attack complex (MAC) plays a key role in proteinuria-induced tubulointerstitial injury, thus establishing the MAC as a valid target for pharmacological intervention in proteinuric disorders. The disclosed are compositions can be used in methods of treating pathogenic diseases and inflammatory conditions by modulating the complement system.

This is the first ever report to uncover a tangible lipidomic basis by which maternal emotional well-being may influence fetal neuro-development and the later risk for psychopathology. This novel insight points to the potential utility of nutritional approaches among pregnant women with high levels of depressive symptoms in the prevention of offspring risk for later socio-emotional behavioral problems predictive of future psychopathology. Such a novel approach is particularly pertinent in light of the preference to avoid pharmacological interventions such as anti-depressant medications during pregnancy.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating and repairing spinal cord injury and its application. The present invention finds through research that Rab3A plays a key role in SCI, and interacts with Spastin to regulate neurite outgrowth. By identifying proteins that were differentially expressed in SCI, it was demonstrated that Rab3A expression levels were downregulated during SCI. In addition, it was also found that Rab3A can physically interact with Spastin and regulate Spastin degradation through the lysosomal pathway, thereby affecting Spastin function. Collectively, these findings highlight a signal transduction pathway in which Rab3A-mediated spastin degradation regulates neurite branch formation and growth. Since SCI is a major cause of disability, repairing the structural defects of the spinal cord caused by injury or degeneration is crucial in the modern field of regenerative medicine. A variety of pharmacological interventions can be designed to treat SCI and assist with associated tissue repair, and can be combined with other cellular interventions.
