CA 2386002

The present invention provides a method for achieving normal levels of cellular apoptosis in non-transformed cells of a patient by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of purified TRAIL ligand or active fragment thereof. In particular, such method is provided to a patient suffering from an autoimmune disease or condition, such as arthritis, encephalomyelitis or multiple sclerosis or autoimmune inflammation in the CNS. The present invention further provides a method of blocking the activity of an endogenous TRAIL receptor or inhibitor in a patient by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a purified TRAIL agonist, in an amount sufficient to enhance the patient's level of TRAIL ligand. In particular, such method is provided to enhance ameliorate or restore cellular apoptosis in non-transformed cells of the patient.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'obtention de taux normaux d'apoptose cellulaire dans des cellules non transformées d'un patient, ce procédé consistant à administrer à ce patient une dose efficace sur le plan thérapeutique du ligand purifié TRAIL ou d'un fragment actif de celui-ci. On utilise notamment ce procédé pour un patient soufrant d'une maladie ou d'une pathologie auto-immune, telle que la polyarthrite, l'encéphalomyélite ou la sclérose en plaques, ou encore l'inflammation auto-immune du système nerveux central. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de blocage de l'activité du récepteur ou de l'inhibiteur de TRAIL endogène, chez un patient, ce procédé consistant à administrer à ce patient une dose qui soit efficace sur le plan thérapeutique d'un agoniste de TRAIL purifié, et qui soit suffisante pour accroître, chez ce patient, le taux du ligand TRAIL. Un tel procédé sert notamment à augmenter, améliorer ou restaurer l'apoptose cellulaire dans des cellules non transformées du patient.
