EXTRACELLULAR HISTONES AS BIOMARKERS FOR PROGNOSIS AND MOLECULAR TARGETS FOR THERAPY
Hyper-inflammatory responses can lead to a variety of diseases including sepsis. It is now shown that extracellular histones released in response to inflammatory challenge are mediators contributing to endothelial dysfunction, organ failure and death during sepsis. As such, they can be targeted pharmacologically by inhibitors, as well as used as biomarkers for prognosis of sepsis and other diseases.
ANTI-HISTONE THERAPY IN ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often associated with damage to remote organs, such as lungs or heart. AKI induces kidney tubular necrosis as well as NETosis, programmed neutrophil death leading to neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Histones released during NETosis induces further formation of NETs, which is damaging to renal tissues and remote organs. Circulating trap-forming neutrophils directly injured the lung, while other dead tissue releases contributed to injury in other organs. Suppressing renal necroinflammation using inhibitors of NET formation, tubular cell necrosis or extracellular histones prevented kidney as well as remote organ injuries. Dual inhibition of neutrophil trap formation together with tubular cell necrosis had an additive protective effect. Preferably, damage to remote organs induced by AKI may be treated and/or prevented using anti-histone agents such as anti-histone IgG, recombinant activated protein C, or heparin, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, such as PAD inhibitors.
Use of APC analogue for wound healing
The invention relates to wound repair and healing, particularly to dermal or cutaneous wounds including but not limited to acute and chronic wounds, burns and ulcers.
Enzyme formulation for reducing salicylate intolerance
Disclosed is a formulation of the following enzymes: Beta Glucanase, Chymotrypsin, Phytase, Lactase, and Invertase, which has been found to be effective in treating salicylate intolerant people, and causing a significant improvement in a wide variety of pathologies and symptoms, including, but not limited to: stuttering, migraines, ADHD, behavioral deficits, Tourettes disease, seizures, autism (ASD), atrial fibrillation, anxiety, depression, joint pain, cognitive and perceptual disorders, respiratory difficulties and non-diabetic neuropathy.
TUNEABLE DELIVERY OF NANOPARTICLE BOUND ACTIVE PLASMIN FOR THE TREATMENT OF THROMBOSIS
Compositions and methods for therapeutic delivery are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to nanoparticle compositions that sequester the activity of a target molecule while leaving other domains accessible to bind targeted tissues of interest. Methods for thrombus dissolution include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can dissolve a blood clot. Compositions and methods for inducing blood clotting are also disclosed. Methods for inducing blood clotting include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can induce the formation of a blood clot. Methods for sequestering a target molecule are also disclosed. The method includes reversibly coupling a target molecule to a nanoparticle having an affinity ligand that reversibly couples the target molecule, and thus, sequesters the target molecule activity until the target molecule interacts with its substrate resulting in the release of the target molecule.

ANTI-HISTONE THERAPY FOR VASCULAR NECROSIS IN SEVERE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
Severe glomerulonephritis involves cell necrosis as well as NETosis, programmed neutrophil death leading to expulsion of nuclear chromatin and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Histones released by neutrophils undergoing NETosis killed glomerular endothelial cells, podocytes, and parietal epithelial cells. This was prevented by histone-neutralizing agents anti-histone IgG, activated protein C and heparin. Histone toxicity on glomeruli was TLR2/4-dependent. Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involved NET formation and vascular necrosis. Pre-emptive anti-histone IgG administration significantly reduced all aspects of glomerulonephritis, including vascular necrosis, podocyte loss, albuminuria, cytokine induction, recruitment and activation of glomerular leukocytes and glomerular crescent formation. Subjects with established glomerulonephritis treated with anti-histone IgG, recombinant activated protein C, or heparin all abrogated severe glomerulonephritis suggesting that histone-mediated glomerular pathology is a subsequent, not initial event in necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Neutralizing extracellular histones is therapeutic in severe experimental glomerulonephritis.
TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY SKIN DISORDERS
