摘要:
A method to treat the chronic stage of heart injury after ischemia or reperfusion by administering Midkine to a subject in need of such treatment is described.
摘要:
The present inventors compared myocardial damages after ischemia/reperfusion in wild-type mice and Midkine (MK)-deficient mice to confirm the effects and functions of MK. MK administration was found to significantly prevent cardiomyocyte apoptosis in both cultured cardiomyocytes (in vitro) and mouse models (in vivo).
摘要:
The object is to find a nitric oxide synthase activator, a method for the administration of the activator, and the amount of the activator to be administered. Disclosed is a nitric oxide synthase activator comprising a midkine family protein or a midkine derivative as an active ingredient. Specifically disclosed is a nitric oxide synthase activator which is intended to be administered through the blood, a coronary artery or a vein and which comprises a midkine family protein or a midkine derivative as an active ingredient.

摘要:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of angiostenosis, comprising a compound inhibiting the function of midkine (MK) in blood vessel tissues as an effective ingredient. The present invention is useful for the prevention or treatment of angiostenosis attributed to arteriosclerosis or restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). As compounds inhibiting the function of MK, antisense oligonucleotides that bind to a segment of a single-stranded mRNA transcribed from the MK gene to inhibit the synthesis of MK protein in cells, antibodies against the MK protein, and such can be used.

摘要:
Proteins belonging to the MK family can suppress apoptosis induced by various stimuli such as carcinostatics, ultraviolet light and radiation, ischemic stresses, etc. Based on this finding, the invention provides novel agents for treating or preventing various diseases attributed to apoptosis such as cerebropathy, cardiopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, or hepatopathy, etc., comprising proteins belonging to the MK family as an effective ingredient.
摘要:
A method for controlling an electroporation apparatus for use in an animal such as human and a non-human animal, the method comprising a step of applying a voltage to an electrode of the electroporation apparatus placed in/on a biological sample of the animal in the presence of a nucleic acid construct capable of inhibiting the expression of a gene in the animal. In this manner, a nucleic acid construct can be introduced into a cell of a living body with good efficiency.
