51 results about "Lysyl oxidase" patented technology

Lysyl oxidase (LOX), also known as protein-lysine 6-oxidase, is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the LOX gene. It catalyzes the conversion of lysine molecules into highly reactive aldehydes that form cross-links in extracellular matrix proteins. Its inhibition can cause osteolathyrism, but, at the same time, its upregulation by tumor cells may promote metastasis of the existing tumor, causing it to become malignant and cancerous.

Stimulation of the activity of an isoform of lysyl oxidase for combating against some pathologies due to an incomplete, absent or disorganized elastogenesis

The invention relates to the stimulation of the activity of an isoform of lysyl oxidase, and more particularly of the LOX (lysyl oxidase) isoform. The invention relates notably to a screening method of an active principle which regulates elastogenesis in cases of pathological, disorganized and / or non-functional elastogenesis, as in cases of fibrosis, of solar elastosis, of stretch marks, and / or of dystrophic scars; and / or in cases of some eczematous pathologies. The aim of the invention is mainly to provide such a screening method so as to provide compositions enabling the elastogenesis in the cases cited to be regulated.

Wound healing compositions and methods using tropoelastin and lysyl oxidase

The present invention provides compositions and methods for promoting wound healing. The composition comprises virgin monomers of tropoelastin and lysyl oxidase. When the lysyl oxidase comes in contact with the tropoelastin, cross-linking of the tropoelastin monomers will occur to form elastin. Contacting the tropoelastin and lysyl oxidase together and applying the mixture to a wound before substantial cross-linking has occurred promotes wound healing by holding the damaged tissue together, increasing the rate of healing, and decreasing the amount of scarring.
