Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009071841A2] The invention relates to a method, according to one of Claims 1-6, in which the expression of the gene is determined by measuring the transcription ratio of said gene. The invention also relates to a method, according to one of Claims 1-6, in which the expression of the gene is determined by measuring the translation ratio of said gene. The invention also relates to the use of a modulator of the Early Growth Response 1 transcription factor that can be obtained according to one of Claims 1-8 in order to prepare a drug for the preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of alopecia. The invention also relates to a use according to Claim 9, characterised in that the modulator is an activator of the Early Growth Response 1 transcription factor. The invention also relates to the cosmetic use of a modulator of the Early Growth Response 1 transcription factor for the aesthetic treatment of the scalp. The invention also relates to an in vitro method for diagnosing or following the development of alopecia in a subject, that comprises comparing the expression or the activity of the Early Growth Response 1 protein, or the expression of the gene thereof or the activity of at least one of the promoters thereof in a biological sample from a subject, with a biological sample of a controlled subject. The invention further relates to a method according to Claim 12, in which the expression of the protein is determined by an assay of said protein using an immunoassay. The invention also relates to a method according to Claim 13, in which the immunoassay is an ELISA assay. The invention also relates to a method according to Claim 14, in which the expression of the gene is determined by measuring the amount of the corresponding mRNA.
