Patent

CA 2426403

The present invention relates to a cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase, its gene, and its use in the treatment of obesity, hyperlipidemia, and fatty liver. The expression of the IDPc gene and the concomitant increase in IDPc level bring about an increase in the cellular level of NADPH, which causes the lipid deposition in adipocytes, leading to obesity and fatty liver. A decrease in the cellular level of NADPH, resulting from the suppression of the gene expression of IDPc, has the effect of inhibiting the lipid deposition in adipocytes. Further, by taking advantage of the suppressive or inhibitory effects of isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibitors, pharmaceutically effective materials for the prophylaxis and treatment of obesity, hyperlipidemia and fatty liver can be developed.

La présente invention concerne une isocitrate déshydrogénase cytosolique, son gène et son utilisation dans le traitement de l'obésité, l'hyperlipidémie et la stéatose hépatique. L'expression du gène IDPc et l'augmentation associée du taux d'IDPc entraînent une augmentation du taux cellulaire de NADPH, ce qui génère un dépôt lipidique dans les adipocytes, conduisant à l'obésité et à la stéatose hépatique. Une diminution du taux cellulaire de NADPH, résultant de la suppression de l'expression génique d'IDPc, a pour effet d'inhiber le dépôt lipidique dans les adipocytes. En exploitant les effets suppressifs et inhibiteurs des inhibiteurs d'isocitrate déshydrogénase, il est possible de mettre au point des substances efficaces d'un point de vue pharmaceutique et utiles dans la prophylaxie et le traitement de l'obésité, l'hyperlipidémie et la stéatose hépatique.
