Title:
REMEDY FOR ANGIOGENESIS-RELATED DISEASE COMPRISING CHONDROMODULIN-I AS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/034753
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to clarify the onset mechanism of a disease caused by angiogenesis by analyzing the action of an antiangiogenetic factor in the heart valve, etc. More specifically, it is intended to provide a remedy for an angiogenesis-related disease such as heart valve disease and a method of efficiently screening this remedy. It is found out that chondromodulin-I is remarkably expressed in the heart valve and plays an important role in maintaining the normal functions of the valve by preventing angiogenesis, thickening and calcification which bring about heart valve disease. It is expected that the chondromodulin-I protein or a substance capable of activating the expression or function of this protein would exert a therapeutic effect on an angiogenesis-related disease.
