Stimulation Of Cell Proliferation By Glycosylated Cystatin C

View page
US Patent:
6436389, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Dec 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/459958
Inventors:
Fred Harrison Gage - La Jolla CA
Philippe J. Taupin - La Jolla CA
Jasodhara Ray - San Diego CA
Assignee:
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies - La Jolla CA
International Classification:
A61K 3800
US Classification:
424 851, 4241981, 435 4, 435325, 435375, 435377, 514 2, 514 12, 530350, 530399
Abstract:
The present invention is based on the discovery and isolation of a co-factor for trophic factors. It has been discovered that trophic factors require a co-factor to stimulate and/or potentiate the trophic factor activity and/or specificity. This was clearly identified in low density cells where trophic factors are unable, or at best, at minimal levels, able to proliferate undifferentiated cells without a co-factor. In a particular embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a composition comprising glycosylated cystatin C, (CCg), an FGF co-factor that stimulates proliferation of neural and fibroblast associated undifferentiated cells. The N-glycosylation of cystatin C is required for its activity. Moreover, CCg acts in cooperation with basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) to induce neural progenitor cell proliferation.

US Patent:
6599695, Jul 29, 2003
Filed:
Jul 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/915229
Inventors:
Fred H. Gage - La Jolla CA, 92037
Jasodhara Ray - San Diego CA, 92130
International Classification:
C12Q 102
US Classification:
435 4, 435 6, 435 71, 435 72, 435 721, 435 29
Abstract:
A method for producing a neuroblast and a cellular composition comprising an enriched population of neuroblast cells is provided.

US Patent:
6680292, Jan 20, 2004
Filed:
Sep 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/856100
Inventors:
Roger C. Guillemin - La Jolla CA
Fred Harrison Gage - La Jolla CA
Jasodhara Ray - San Diego CA
Assignee:
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies - La Jolla CA
International Classification:
A61K 3170
US Classification:
514 2, 514 27, 514 43, 514 45, 514 46, 530397, 530399
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compositions comprising 1-(-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole compounds and either endogenous or exogenous neurotrophic factors. Methods of using such compounds and compositions are also provided. In one aspect, the invention provides methods of using invention compositions and compounds to enhance neurite outgrowth, neuronal survival and neuronal proliferation in mammalian cells. In a preferred embodiment, a 1-(-D-ribofuranosyl)1H-1,2,4-triazole compound is infused directly to a desired situs. In a more preferred embodiment the 1-(-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,4-triazole compound is administered orally. In another aspect, the invention provides methods of treating a neurological disease in a mammal subject. In a further aspect, the invention provides methods of treating neuronal trauma in a mammal subject.

US Patent:
6713247, Mar 30, 2004
Filed:
Sep 3, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/711628
Inventors:
Fred H. Gage - La Jolla CA
Jasodhara Ray - San Diego CA
Assignee:
Signal Pharmaceuticials, Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
C12N 508
US Classification:
435 4, 435 691, 435325, 435366, 435368, 435455, 435456
Abstract:
Conditionally-immortalized human CNS progenitor cell lines are provided. Such cell lines, which may be clonal, may be used to generate neurons and/or astrocytes. Such cell lines and/or differentiated cells may be used for the development of therapeutic agents to prevent and treat a variety of CNS-related diseases. Such cell lines and/or differentiated cells may also be used in assays and for the general study of CNS cell development, death and abnormalities.
