4 results about "Thymosin" patented technology

An anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition based on immune checkpoint blocking and a use thereof. The anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition comprises: paroxetine hydrochloride and a T cell enhancer, the T cell enhancer being at least one of vitamin E and thymosin. By means of a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments, it was found for the first time that cannabidiol and paroxetine hydrochloride can effectively reduce the expression of PD-L1 on a tumor cell membrane, thereby blocking the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway and enhancing the effect of T cells in killing tumor cells. T cell enhancer added on this basis can further increase the number and activity of T cells and significantly enhance the killing ability of T cells after relief from immunosuppression, greatly improving the anti-tumor effect of a drug. The components cannabidiol, paroxetine hydrochloride, and vitamin E+thymosin of the pharmaceutical composition can have a synergistic effect to improve the anti-tumor effect.

Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia in older individuals, is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease for which there is currently no cure. The present invention discloses and describes panels of markers that are differentially expressed in the disease state relative to their expression in the normal state and, in particular, identifies and describes panels of markers associated with neurocognitive disorders. In some aspects, the marker panel comprises phosphoglucomutase 1 and / or thymosin beta-4, or an isoform, a variant or a fragment of either protein, alone or in combination with additional markers.

Disclosed herein is an anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition based on immune checkpoint blockade and use thereof. The anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition comprises: paroxetine hydrochloride, and a T-cell enhancer, wherein the T-cell enhancer is at least one of vitamin E and thymosin. Through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments, cannabidiol and paroxetine hydrochloride were first found to be capable of effectively reducing the expression of PD-L1 on the tumor cell membrane, thereby blocking the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway and enhancing the ability of T cells to kill tumor cells. The T-cell enhancer added on this basis can further increase the quantity and activity of T cells, significantly increase the killing ability of T cells after immunosuppression is relieved, and greatly improve the anti-tumor effect of the drug. The components of the pharmaceutical composition used in the present invention, namely, cannabidiol, paroxetine hydrochloride, and vitamin E+thymosin, can exert a synergistic effect and improve the anti-tumor effect.
