Drug screening to identify suppressors of GFAP expression.
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the major intermediate filament protein of astrocytes in the vertebrate central nervous system. Increased levels of GFAP are the hallmark feature of gliosis, a non-specific response of astrocytes to a wide variety of injuries and disorders of the CNS, and also occur in Alexander disease where the initial insult is a mutation within the coding region of ...
متن کاملA small-molecule screening strategy to identify suppressors of statin myopathy.
The reduction of plasma low-density lipoprotein levels by HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, or statins, has had a revolutionary impact in medicine, but muscle-related side effects remain a dose-limiting toxicity in many patients. We describe a chemical epistasis approach that can be useful in refining the mechanism of statin muscle toxicity, as well as in screening for agents that suppress muscle t...
متن کاملPharmacophore Based Virtual Screening Approach to Identify Selective PDE4B Inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) has been established as a promising target in asthma andchronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PDE4B subtype selective inhibitors are known toreduce the dose limiting adverse effect associated with non-selective PDE4B inhibitors. Thismakes the development of PDE4B subtype selective inhibitors a desirable research goal. Toachieve this goal, ligand based pharmacophore m...

متن کاملQuantitative cell array screening to identify regulators of gene expression.
In the last decade or so, advances in genome-scale technologies have allowed systematic and detailed analysis of gene function. The experimental accessibility of budding yeast makes it a test-bed for technology development and application of new functional genomic tools and resources that pave the way for comparable efforts in higher eukaryotes. In this article, we review advances in reporter s...
