Abstract
This invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment, management, reduction, or prevention of injuries to one or more major organs of the body, e.g., the brain, heart, lung, kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, of a mammal (e.g., a human) caused by one or more calcineurin or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex inhibitors. The methods include administering an effective amount of one or more pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)-like compounds to the mammal. Combination therapy with one or more PACAP-like compounds, either alone or in combination with one or more other prophylactic/therapeutic agents, plus one or more inhibitors of either calcineurin or the mTOR complexes can be used to treat organ transplantation, autoimmune diseases, graft-versus-host disease, Behçet's disease, hematological cancers, noninfectious uveitis, sarcoidosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, acute neurological diseases, age-related neurodegenerative diseases, Huntington's disease and other CAG codon repeat expansion diseases, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and restenosis.
