CA 2623685

The present invention relates to methods for screening for therapeutics on the basis of biomarkers responsive to treatment with thiazolidinediones, in particular therapeutics having activities analogous to thiazolidinediones. Such therapeutics may be useful, for example, in therapy of Type II diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, metabolic syndrome (syndrome x), cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and dyslipidemia. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for testing whether an individual will benefit from treatment with the afore mentioned therapeutics. The biomarkers are selected from Fn14, HMGAl, apelin, fragments and variants thereof .

La présente invention concerne des méthodes de criblage de substances thérapeutiques reposant sur des biomarqueurs réagissant au traitement avec des thiazolidinediones, notamment des substances thérapeutiques présentant des activités analogues à celles des thiazolidinediones. De telles substances thérapeutiques peuvent être utiles, par exemple, dans le traitement du diabète de type II, de la résistance à l'insuline, de l'obésité, de la diminution de la tolérance au glucose, du syndrome métabolique (syndrome X), des maladies cardio-vasculaires, de l'athérosclérose et de la dyslipidémie. Cette invention se rapporte également à des méthodes de test visant à déterminer si un individu peut tirer profit du traitement avec les substances thérapeutiques selon l'invention.
