| 20090142792 | Biomarkers for the diagnosis of autoimmune disease - Compositions and methods are provided for prognostic classification of autoimmune disease patients into subtypes, which subtypes are informative of the patient's probability of developing clinical symptoms or severe disease. The patterns of circulating blood levels of serum cytokines provides for a signature pattern that can discriminate patients that have a high probability of developing disease from those that have a low probability of developing disease. Assessment of this signature pattern in a patient thus allows improved methods of care and intervention. In one embodiment of the invention, the autoimmune disease is rheumatoid arthritis. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20100250238 | Lexical Association Metric for Knowledge-Free Extraction of Phrasal Terms - A method and system for determining a lexical association of phrasal terms are described. A corpus having a plurality of words is received, and a plurality of contexts including one or more context words proximate to a word in the corpus is determined. An occurrence count for each context is determined, and a global rank is assigned based on the occurrence count. Similarly, a number of occurrences of a word being used in a context is determined, and a local rank is assigned to the word-context pair based on the number of occurrences. A rank ratio is then determined for each word-context pair. A rank ratio is equal to the global rank divided by the local rank for a word-context pair. A mutual rank ratio is determined by multiplying the rank ratios corresponding to a phrase. The mutual rank ratio is used to identify phrasal terms in the corpus. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090156525 | Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 2 Clears Amyloid-Beta Peptide A cross the Blood-Brain Barrier via Apolipoprotein J - Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (LRP2) is a potential receptor to regulate the level of apolipoprotein J (apoJ) in the central nervous system, which is the major carrier of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). ApoJ is cleared from brain interstitial fluid (ISF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by LRP2-mediated transcytosis across epithelial and endothelial barriers. At physiological ISF/CSF levels, apoJ is rapidly transported by LRP2 across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Importantly, apoJ also substantially enhances clearance from the brain of amyloidogenic Aβ isoforms (i.e., higher β-sheet content such as Aβ42) as apoJ-Aβ by LRP2-mediated transport. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090181911 | Role of gax in alzheimer neurovascular dysfunction - Neurovascular disorder critically contributes to the development and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Transcriptional profiling of human brain endothelial cells (BEC) defines a subset of age-independent genes significantly altered in AD including the homebox gene GAX whose expression controls vascular phenotype and is low in AD. By using viral-mediated GAX gene silencing and transfer, restoring GAX expression in AD BEC is angio-genic, transcriptionally suppresses the AFX1 forkhead transcription factor-mediated apoptosis, and increases the levels of a major amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) clearance receptor, the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) at the blood-brain barrier. In a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, deletion of the Gax gene results in reductions in brain capillary density and the resting cerebral blood flow, loss of angiogenic brain response to hypoxia, and an impaired Aβ brain efflux caused by reduced LRP-1 levels. The link of GAX gene to AD neurovascular dysfunction provides new mechanistic and therapeutic insights into AD. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100119450 | SOLUBLE LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN RECEPTOR RELATED PROTEIN BINDS DIRECTLY TO ALZHEIMER'S AMYLOID-BETA PEPTIDE - A soluble derivative of low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein-1 (sLRP-1) binds directly to Alzheimer's amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). This binding may be used to detect Aβ or to separate Aβ from the rest of a subject's body. In Alzheimer's disease, it may be used to provide diagnostic results by detecting Aβ, treatment by removing Aβ, or both. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20110039908 | Inhibiting Amyloid-Beta Peptide/Rage Interaction At The Blood-Brain Barrier - Small molecules are used to inhibit specific receptor-ligand interaction between Alzheimer's amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and Receptor for Advanced Gly-cation Endproducts (RAGE). Objectives include treating Alzheimer's disease and other pathologies involving cerebral amyloid angiopathy; improving blood flow to or within the brain; decreasing the level of Aβ in the brain; reducing neuropathology associated with Alzheimer's disease; reducing inflammation and/or oxidant stress in the brain; improving memory and/or learning; treating other conditions involving Aβ/RAGE interaction at the blood-brain barrier, RAGE-mediated transport of Aβ into the brain, or RAGE activation in brain vasculature and/or brain parenchyma (e.g., diabetic complications); or any combination thereof. | 02-17-2011 |
