    Douglas R. Green - San Diego CA
  • Assignee:
    The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
    La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology - San Diego CA
  • International Classification:
    A61K 4800
  • US Classification:
    514 44, 4353201, 435325, 435455, 536 235, 424 936

    10/716647
  • Inventors:

  • Inducing Expression Of Puma To Reduce Joint Inflammation In The Treatment Of Arthritis

    view source
  • US Patent:
    20070065421, Mar 22, 2007
  • Filed:
    Sep 15, 2006
  • Appl. No.:
    11/522026
  • Inventors:
    Gary Firestein - Del Mar CA, US
    David Boyle - Santee CA, US
  • International Classification:
    A61K 48/00
    A61K 38/54
  • US Classification:
    424093210, 424094200, 514044000
  • Abstract:
    It has been discovered the BH3-only proapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins like PUMA (the p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) can be activated in fibroblast-like synoviocytes present in the joints of subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. This bypasses the p53 apoptotic pathway, which normally clears FLS fomr the joints, but is often defective in arthritis. Suitable therapeutic agents of this invention include gene vectors that cause increased expression of BH3-only proapoptotic proteins in target cells. These agents are formulated in pharmaceutical compositions for administration directly to joint. Reestablishing apoptosis in synoviocytes decreases their pro-inflammatory and destrcutive activity, improving the clinical condition.
