Described herein are compositions and methods targeting IL-3 signaling for reducing Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related pathology.
INHIBITORS OF CYTOCHROME P450 FAMILY 7 SUBFAMILY B MEMBER 1 (CYP7B1) FOR USE IN MOBILIZATION OF HEMATOPOIETIC STEM AND PROGENITOR CELLS
Disclosed are compounds for use in modulating a mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood in a subject; wherein the compound inhibits the activity of cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily B member 1 (CYP7B1 inhibitor).
NOVEL THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
The present invention discloses a novel therapeutic intervention for osteoporosis. The present invention discloses that Interleukin-3 (IL-3) can be utilized as a therapeutic intervention against osteoporosis and for regulating bone homeostasis. The present invention also provides a method for determining the pre-disposition of a subject for osteoporosis by measuring the RANKL/OPG level.
Methods and Compositions Based on Diphtheria Toxin-Interleukin-3 Conjugates
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting interleukin-3 receptor-expressing cells, and, in particular, inhibiting the growth of such cells by using a diphtheria toxin-human interleukin-3 conjugate (DT-IL3) that is toxic to cells expressing the interleukin-3 receptor. In preferred embodiments, the DT-IL3 conjugate is a fusion protein comprising amino acids 1-388 of diphtheria toxin fused via a peptide linker to full-length, human interleukin-3. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention relate to the administration of a DT-IL3 conjugate to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and/or cancer stem cells in humans, which cells express one or more subunits of the interleukin-3 receptor. Exemplary cells include myeloid leukemia cancer stem cells. In other embodiments, the methods of the present invention relate to ex vivo purging of bone marrow or peripheral blood to remove cells that express one or more subunits of the interleukin-3 receptor such that the purged bone marrow or peripheral blood is suitable, e.g., for autologous stem cell transplantation to restore hematopoietic function.

METHODS FOR TREATING MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS
In part, the disclosure relates to methods of treating myeloproliferative disorders by administering one or more Serum Amyloid Protein (SAP) proteins. In certain aspects, the method further comprises monitoring treatment efficacy by measuring change in mutant allele burden. In certain aspects, the disclosure relates to methods of treating myelofibrosis in patient sub-populations who carry myelofibrosis-associated mutations in some of their cells by administering an SAP protein.
