摘要:
Methods for activating endothelial growth factors VEGF-C or VEGF-D with plasmin, and methods of treatment comprising administering a pharmaceutical compositions comprising plasmin. Also disclosed are methods of screening for inhibitors of activation of the growth factors by plasmin, and method of treatment by blocking activation of VEGF-C/D activation by plasmin. Further disclosed are methods for screening for other proteases that activate VEGF-CD, and for inhibitors of such activation. The invention further includes inhibitors of plasmin activity and methods of treating patients in need thereof with said inhibitors.

摘要:
Proprotein convertase inhibitor has been found to block proteolytic processing and activation of VEGF-C and VEGF-D and inhibit angiogenesis and/or lymphangiogenesis. Method and composition are disclosed for inhibiting angiogenesis and/or lymphangiogenesis, and for treating conditions associated with excessive angiogenesis, such as tumors and/or retinopathies, as well as conditions associated with lymphangiogenesis, such as the metastatic spread of malignancies, macular degeneration, inflammatory mediated diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic retinopathy and psoriasis in a patient. The inventive method and composition utilize proprotein convertase antagonist selected from the group consisting of an anti-proprotein convertase antibody, an antisense nucleic acid molecule against a polynucleotide coding for a proprotein convertase, and an siRNA for inhibiting proprotein convertase expression, as well as proprotein convertase inhibitors.
