摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for inhibiting proliferation and/or migration of lymphatic endothelial cells and for inhibiting lymphangiogenesis, comprising administering to a subject, or to lymphatic endothelial cells derived therefrom, an effective amount of a collagen type IV-derived NC1 domain polypeptide or a fragment, derivative or variant thereof, a polynucleotide encoding the same, or an agent capable of increasing the expression or production of the NC1 domain polypeptide. Aso provided are methods for the treatment or prevention of diseases and conditions associated with aberrant lymphatic endothelial cell activity.

摘要:
Provided herein are methods and compositions for regulating airway tissue remodelling and for treating or preventing conditions associated with airway inflammation and/or airway tissue remodelling. The methods comprise normalising fibulin-1 levels in said tissue relative to normal endogenous levels. In an embodiment the methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one agent capable of inhibiting the expression and/or activity of fibulin-1.
