Disclosed are methods for treating a meylodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in a subject that involves administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an inflammasome inhibitor. Also disclosed are methods for diagnosing a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in a subject. In some embodiments, the method involves assaying a sample from the subject to detect inflammasome activation, wherein an increase in inflammasome activation in the sample compared to a control is an indication of MDS in the subject. In some embodiments, the method involves assaying a sample from the subject to detect s100A9 protein levels, wherein an increase in s100A9 protein levels in the sample compared to a control is an indication of MDS in the subject. The disclosed methods can further involve treating the subject for MDS if an increase in inflammasome activation and/or s100A9 levels are detected.
公开了治疗受试者骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)的方法,包括向受试者施用治疗有效量的炎性体
抑制剂。还公开了诊断受试者骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)的方法。在一些实施方案中,该方法涉及化验受试者的样本以检测炎性体活化,其中样本中炎性体活化的增加与对照相比是受试者MDS的指征。在一些实施方案中,该方法包括检测受试者的样本以检测s100A9蛋白
水平,其中样本中s100A9蛋白
水平与对照相比的增加是受试者MDS的指标。如果检测到炎性体活化和/或 s100A9
水平升高,所公开的方法可进一步涉及对受试者进行 MDS 治疗。
