The invention features methods of treating a proliferative disorder characterized by elevated Pin1 marker levels and/or reduced Pin1 Ser71 phosphorylation in a subject by administering a retinoic acid compound. Additionally, the invention features methods of treating proliferative disorders (e.g., proliferative disorders characterized by elevated Pin1 marker levels) by administering a retinoic acid compound in combination with another anti-proliferative compound. Finally, the invention also features methods including high-throughput screens for discovering and validating Pin1 inhibitors.
本发明的特点是通过施用
维甲酸化合物治疗增殖性疾病的方法,该增殖性疾病的特征是受试者体内Pin1标记物
水平升高和/或Pin1 Ser71
磷酸化降低。此外,本发明还具有通过施用
维甲酸化合物与另一种抗增殖化合物联合治疗增殖性疾病(例如,以Pin1标记物
水平升高为特征的增殖性疾病)的方法。最后,本发明还包括发现和验证 Pin1
抑制剂的高通量筛选方法。
