Systemic suppression of the complement system has been shown to be effective to treat inflammatory disease, yet at the potential cost of compromising host defense and immune homeostasis. Herein disclosed are methods for antigen-specific targeting of complement inhibitors that show that complement inhibitors targeted to the proximal tubular epithelium protect against tubulointerstitial injury and renal dysfunction in a rat model of nephrosis. It is shown that appropriate targeting of a systemically administered complement inhibitor to a site of disease markedy enhances efficacy and obviates the need to systemically inhibit complement. Additionally, it is shown by specifically inhibiting the terminal pathway of complement, that the membrane attack complex (MAC) plays a key role in proteinuria-induced tubulointerstitial injury, thus establishing the MAC as a valid target for pharmacological intervention in proteinuric disorders. The disclosed are compositions can be used in methods of treating pathogenic diseases and inflammatory conditions by modulating the complement system.

Cardiomyopathies are heart muscle disorders which represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that often lead to progressive heart failure with significant morbidity and mortality. Here, the inventors show that neutralization of acyl CoA binding protein (ACBP) / diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) reduces the deleterious effect of the Vehicle anthracycline doxombicin on cardiac function. Since anthracycline-induced heart failure and anthracycline-induced senescence are models of accelerated cardiac aging, it is also plausible to use ACBP / DBI inhibition or neutralization as a method to prevent or treat aging of the cardiovascular system. The inventors also found that genetic and pharmacological interventions to deplete ACBP / DBI efficiently improves cardiac dysfunction associated with experimental HFpEF, a condition associated with aging, hypertension and obesity. Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to methods for the treatment of cardiac dysfunction comprising neutralization of ACBP / DBI.

This is the first ever report to uncover a tangible lipidomic basis by which maternal emotional well-being may influence fetal neuro-development and the later risk for psychopathology. This novel insight points to the potential utility of nutritional approaches among pregnant women with high levels of depressive symptoms in the prevention of offspring risk for later socio-emotional behavioral problems predictive of future psychopathology. Such a novel approach is particularly pertinent in light of the preference to avoid pharmacological interventions such as anti-depressant medications during pregnancy.
