Thioredoxin Interacting Protein (TXNIP) As Regulator of Vascular Function

The present invention relates to screening assays for the identification of agents that can modify the interaction of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNEP) on thioredoxin (TRX)5 preferably by inhibiting TXNIP downregulation of TXR. The use of such compounds, including the disclosed siRNA and antibodies against TXNIP, is contemplated for therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of vascular disease conditions, particularly those associated with pro-inflammatory activity of the TNF- ASK1-JNK-p38 pathways.
