Title:
TREATMENT METHODS FOR EYE DISORDERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/050744
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of inhibiting neutrophil activation in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells comprising administering an inhibitor of interferon (IFN) λ to a subject in need thereof, as well as a method of restoring lysosomal function of RPE cells comprising administering a polypeptide comprising βA1-crystallin or a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide to a subject in need thereof, are provided. A method of rejuvenating Vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) activity in RPE cells by modulating assembly and disassembly of the V-ATPase in a subject in need thereof also is provided. Additionally, a method of treating diabetic retinopathy in a subject comprising administering a polypeptide comprising βA1-crystallin or a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide to the subject is provided.
