    摘要: Disclosed are Cystatin C (CysC) homologues, including CystC homologues that act as antagonists or inhibitors of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Also disclosed are methods to identify CystC homologues that are antagonists or inhibitors of TGF-β and compositions and therapeutic methods using CystC and homologues thereof to regulate the activity of TGF-β, and TGF-β-mediated tumor malignancy and invasion and other TGF-β-mediated fibrotic or proliferative conditions and diseases.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and test kit to diagnose tumorigenicity or the presence of tumor cells in a patient by detecting the level of FBLN-3 expression or biological activity in the patient. Also disclosed are methods to identify regulators of tumor cell growth, motility and/or invasion, by identifying regulators of FBLN-3 expression or activity. Methods to identify anti-angiogenic and pro-angiogenic agents are also described, wherein such factors regulate the expression and/or activity of FBLN-3. Finally, the present invention relates to therapeutic methods and reagents for the inhibition of tumor growth and development and/or for the inhibition or promotion of angiogenesis, using FBLN-3, homologues and analogs thereof, and agents that modulate the expression and/or activity of FBLN-3.
