The present invention is directed to a method of enhancing TGF-β signaling in a subject comprising administering to said subject a clathrin-dependent endocytosis inhibitor in an amount sufficient to enhance TGF-β signaling. In another aspect, the invention is directed to a method of treating a condition associated with decreased TGF-β signaling in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to said patient a clathrin-dependent endocytosis inhibitor in a therapeutically effective amount.
A61K 31/166 - Amides, p. ex. acides hydroxamiques ayant des cycles aromatiques, p. ex. colchicine, aténolol, progabide ayant l'atome de carbone d'un groupe carboxamide lié directement au cycle aromatique, p. ex. procaïnamide, procarbazine, métoclopramide, labétalol
C07C 245/04 - Composés azo, c.-à-d. composés ayant les valences libres de groupes —N=N— attachées à des atomes différents, p. ex. diazohydroxydes avec des atomes d'azote de groupes azo liés à des atomes de carbone acycliques ou à des atomes de carbone de cycles autres que des cycles aromatiques à six chaînons
C07C 39/21 - Composés comportant au moins un groupe hydroxyle ou O-métal lié à un atome de carbone d'un cycle aromatique à six chaînons polycycliques ne contenant que des cycles aromatiques à six chaînons dans la partie cyclique, avec une insaturation autre que celle des cycles au moins un groupe hydroxyle étant lié à un cycle non condensé

The present invention provides methods for inhibiting or blocking TGF-β activity in cells and/or tissues expressing TGF-β comprising, contacting cells and/or tissues expressing TGF-β with an amount of cholesterol or cholesterol derivative effective to inhibit the activity of TGF-β. The present invention further provides a method for treating a condition associated with overactivity of TGF-β or negative regulation in normal physiology by TGF-β in a subject in need of treatment, comprising contacting cells and/or tissue overexpressing TGF-β in the subject with an amount of cholesterol or cholesterol derivative effective to inhibit activity of TGF-β thereby treating the condition. In a preferred embodiment, the cholesterol derivative is oxidized 7-DHC.
