Embodiment A

[0152] The in vitro cell line of BEAS-2B cells can be infected with rhinovirus RV-16. The cells are then exposed to a variety of compounds and extracts, and then tested and analyzed for the content of respiratory biomarker proteins. By monitoring the content of respiratory biomarker protein after exposing infected cells to the extract and compound and comparing it with the content of respiratory biomarker protein in infected cells not exposed to the extract and compound, the extract and compound can be identified as A substance that regulates respiratory biomarker proteins.

[0153] In the described embodiment, the test component is the herb Andrographis paniculata extract or its main component andrographolide. The content of andrographolide in the test component is 5μM. The respiratory biomarker protein is IP-10 (CXCL10), a chemotactic agent.

Embodiment B

[0159] The efficacy of the test compound during rhinovirus infection that naturally induces a cold can be evaluated by monitoring the content of respiratory protein biomarkers. A nasal wash was collected from subjects who showed the initial symptoms of a cold. The subject was then treated and samples of nasal wash were collected over the next few days.

[0160] The therapeutic agent consisted of standardized andrographis extract containing 20 mg of total andrographolide, 28.8 mg of Acanthopanax senticosus extract and 650 mg of curcumin (curcumin extract). This composition is taken three times a day. The respiratory biomarker protein is IP-10 (CXCL10), a chemotactic agent. In the few days after treatment, the content of respiratory biomarker protein was detected and analyzed, and the baseline value before treatment was used for statistical correction.

[0167] The therapeutic agent consisted of 400 mg ibuprofen and 4 mg chlorpheniramine maleate. The composition is taken three times a day. The respiratory biomarker protein is MCP1 (CCL2), a chemotactic agent. In the few days after treatment, the content of respiratory biomarker protein was detected and analyzed, and the baseline value before treatment was used for statistical correction.

Abstract

The present invention provides methods for identifying genes, expression regulators, receptors, protein product receptors, and proteins that may regulate rhinovirus infections. The genes identified may be used as markers for disease onset and progression and to measure efficacy of a therapeutic. The present invention also provides methods to screen agents that are capable of regulating rhinovirus infection. The present invention also provides methods of identifying therapeutic compounds that may treat various disorders by regulating the expression and activity of genes, expression regulators, receptors, protein product receptors, and proteins identified.

Description

Invention field [0001] The present invention relates to methods for identifying target genes, proteins, expression regulators, receptors, protein product receptors, and compounds for regulating, diagnosing, and monitoring rhinovirus infections. Background of the invention [0002] Cold symptoms are mainly caused by 200 different viruses, of which about 30% to 50% of colds are caused by rhinovirus. They are also the most common pathogens that cause acute attacks of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the mechanism of rhinovirus triggering or exacerbating airway diseases has not been fully elucidated. [0003] Cold infections are so common that it is estimated that adults may catch 2 to 3 colds a year, and children may catch 5 to 7 colds a year. In the United States, 50% of medical visits are related to respiratory diseases. Colds cause 50% of short-term absences from work and school. The average duration of a cold is 7 to 10 days. Effective treatme...
