46 results about "Sickle cells" patented technology

Sickle cell disease is a genetic condition. People who have it inherited certain hemoglobin genes from their parents. Hemoglobin is the protein inside of red blood cells that carries oxygen. Abnormal hemoglobin makes the red blood cells sickle shaped.

Reduced side-effect hemoglobin compositions

The invention relates to novel hemoglobin compositions, particularly novel recombinant mutant hemoglobin compositions, which eliminate or substantially reduce 1) the creation of heart lesions, 2) gastrointestinal discomfort, 3) pressor effects, and 4) endotoxin hypersensitivity associated with the administration of extracellular hemoglobin compositions in various therapeutic applications. Applications described include treatments for anemia, head injury, hemorrhage or hypovolemia, ischemia, cachexia, sickle cell crisis and stroke; enhancing cancer treatments; stimulating hematopoiesis; improving repair of physically damaged tissues; alleviating cardiogenic shock; and shock resuscitation.

Method and composition for preventing pain in sickle cell patients

A method of preventing pain in a sickle cell patient is disclosed. The method includes orally administering to the patient, an amount of an active agent effective on oral administration to inhibit binding of the patient's sickle erythrocytes to P-selectin on the patient's vascular endothelium. The inhibition may be evidenced in a number of ways. The active agent administration inhibits the adhesion of sickle erythrocytes to vascular endothelium in the patient, thereby preventing patient pain associated with vascular occlusion. Also disclosed are compositions useful in practicing the method.

Continuous-flow deformability-based cell separation

This invention provides methods utilizing a microfluidic device that can quickly and accurately discern differences in deformability between individual cells and sets of cells and continuously fractionate populations of cells based on their deformability. This information may be important in disease diagnosis and treatment efficacy monitoring. For example such a device may be able to determine the stage of malarial infection by using red blood cell deformability. Additionally, methods of the invention may be used as a tool to screen drugs that can make cells more flexible in diseases such as sickle cell anemia that causes sickle cell crises. The relatively low manufacturing and operation costs of methods of the invention enable this device to be used in resource-limited settings to diagnose and monitor disease.

Methods of treating sickle cell disease

The present invention relates to methods of treating sickle cell disease comprising reducing, in a subject in need of such treatment, the adherence between sickle RBCs and leukocytes. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that leukocytes play a direct role in the initiation of venular occlusion. The present invention further provides for methods for identifying agents which decrease SS-RBC / leukocyte adherence and for animal models which may be used to further elucidate the mechanism of vaso-occlusion in sickle cell crises.

Rationale for IL-1 Beta targeted therapy in sickle cell disease for ischemia-reperfusion induced complications

InactiveUS20100233168A1Block pathological effectExaggerated inflammatoryAntibody ingredientsImmunoglobulinsInflammasomeTarget therapy
Sickle cell patients atypically experience exaggerated inflammatory responses to pathogens that normally cause mild respiratory infections in non-sickle cell humans. There appears to be heightened inflammatory responses to pathogens in combination with hypoxia in sickle cell disease. The novelty of this invention provides a new paradigm to explain the exaggerated inflammatory response of sickle cell disease to pathogens especially when accompanied by hypoxic stress. In particular, sickle cell chest injury and other complications associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by vaso-occlusion can involve co-stimulation of the NALP-3 inflammasome by pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and hypoxic-induced danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), leading to exaggerated pro-inflammatory responses marked by increased IL-1β secretion and subsequent induction of neutrophilic inflammation. This invention thereby provides the immunologic, biologic and biochemical rationale for IL-1β targeted therapies in sickle cell disease to block the pathological effects of IL-1β that leads to exaggerated inflammatory expressions, including neutrophilic inflammation.

Sickle cell anemia treatment

This patent is an evolution of U.S. Pat. No. 4,216,770 named “sickle cell therapeutic treatment”. That patent is one in which blood is taken out of the subject and treated with anti-sickling agents which are then washed out. In this application blood is removed from a subject and instead filtered to remove diseased cells. The option to introduce anti-sickling agents is then left as a possible option. The filtered cells are then returned to the subject. This technology is superior to other treatments since it can help end sickle cell crises before permanent damage it done. Instead of sickled cells breaking down within the body where they compound damage, they are removed before they can cause problems. More deformable and useful blood cells are retained in the circulation.

Compositions and Methods for Treatment of Cancer

Resistance of randomly dispersed and oxygen-starved lung tumor cells to chemo- and radiotherapy constitutes the vast majority recurrences and death from lung cancer. We use sickle cells derived from humans with sickle cell anemia to target oxygen-deprived tumor cells that persist and multiply after conventional treatment. Transfused sickle cells selectively occluded tumor microvessels and shut down blood flow to these oxygen-deprived pockets leading to tumor cell death and complete shrinkage of aggressive lung tumors. Combining the sickle cells with a vascular disrupting agents and radiation injure and narrow tumor blood vessels, amplified the scale of sickle cell-induced blood vessel closure and tumor cell killing. The strength of the tumor killing produced by this combination exceeded that of either agent alone or combined with conventional anti-angiogenics, chemotherapy or radiation. Combinatorial sickle cells-Combretastatin treatment thereby constitutes a major advance toward eradicating treatment-resistant tumor cells and reducing the frequency of lung cancer recurrence.

Bifunctional vectors allowing bcl11a silencing and expression of an Anti-sickling hbb and uses thereof for gene therapy of b-hemoglobinopathies

The #β-hemoglobinopathies #β-thalassemia (BT) and sickle cell disease (SCD) are the most frequent genetic disorders worldwide. These diseases are caused by mutations causing reduced or abnormal synthesis of the β-globin chain of the adult hemoglobin (Hb) tetramer. Here, the inventors intend to improve HSC-based gene therapy for β-thalassemia and SCD by developing an innovative, highly infectious LV vector expressing a potent anti-sickling β-globin transgene and a second biological function either increasing fetal γ-globin expression (for β-thalassemia and SCD). More particularly, the inventors have designed a novel lentivirus (LV), which carry two different functions: βAS3 gene addition and gene silencing. This last strategy allows the re-expression of the fetal γ-globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2) and production of the endogenous fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Elevated levels of HbF and HbAS3 (Hb tetramer containing βAS3-globin) will benefit the β-hemoglobinopathy phenotype by increasing the total amount of β-like globin that will: (i) reduce the alpha precipitates and improve the alpha / non alpha ratio in β-thalassemia, and (ii) reduce the sickling in SCD. This combined strategy will improve the β-hemoglobinopathy phenotype at a lower vector copy number (VCN) per cell compared to a LV expressing the βAS3 alone.
