Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and composition for treating a retinoid-responsive condition in a subject are provided according to embodiments of the present invention which include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a substance selected from the group consisting of: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), an NGAL analog, an NGAL stimulator and an analog of an NGAL stimulator, to a subject having a retinoid-responsive condition. Retinoid-responsive conditions illustratively include acne, rosacea, psoriasis, promyelocytic leukemia and neuroblastoma.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating acne in a subject, comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of an NGAL stimulator, wherein the NGAL stimulator is selected from the group consisting of: a Toll-like receptor 2 ligand, a Toll-like receptor 3 ligand, an activator of NFκB, leukotriene B4, cholesterol oleate and interleukin-17 (IL-17), to a subject having acne. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activator of NFκB is selected from the group consisting of: interleukin 1-beta (IL1-beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Toll-like receptor 2 ligand is N-Palmitoyl-S-[2,3-bis(palmitoyloxy)-(2RS)-propyl]-[R]-cysteinyl-[S]-seryl-[S]-lysyl-N-lysyl-[S]-lysyl-[S]-lysine. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Toll-like receptor 3 ligand is polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NGAL stimulator is administered to skin affected by acne in the subject.
