Abstract:
The present invention relates to an anti-MIC-1 monoclonal antibody inhibiting the induction of angiogenesis by MIC-1 and, more particularly, to an antibody specifically binding to MIC-1 comprising: light chain variable regions in which complementarity determining regions, CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 have amino acid sequences for sequence number 1, 2, and 3 respectively; and heavy chain variable regions in which complementarity determining regions, CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 have amino acid sequences for sequence number 4, 5, and 6 respectively. The antibody in the present invention effectively inhibits angiogenesis induced by MIC-1, thereby blocking tumor growth and metastasis. And the treatment for disorders related to hyper angiogenesis, which have been increasing in number recently, such as arthritis, diabetes, retina diseases, atherosclerosis, and psoriasis, etc. as well as cancers can be expected. The effectiveness is considered because the antibody in the present invention specifically binds to MIC-1 and interrupts the binding between MIC-1 and receptor thereof. Also, the development of more effective antibody can be expected by modifying the information about the antibody in the present invention.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A pharmaceutical composition containing MIC-1 gene or expression protein thereof is provided to be used for wound healing as a therapeutic agent. CONSTITUTION: A pharmaceutical composition for wound healing contains MIC-1(macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1) gene or expression protein thereof as an active ingredient. The MIC-1 gene encodes an amino acid of sequence number 2 or 7. The MIC-1 gene is inserted to a recombinant vector. The MIC-1 protein has an amino acid sequence of sequence number 2 or 7. The MIC-1 protein is expressed from the expression vector.
Abstract:
본 발명은 MIC-1을 함유하는 상처 치료용 약학적 조성물에 관한 것으로, 더욱 구체적으로 MIC-1(macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1) 유전자 또는 그의 발현 단백질을 유효성분으로 함유하는 상처 치료용 약학적 조성물에 관한 것이다. 본 발명에 따르면, MIC-1은 VEGF와 유사하게 저산소 조건에서 발현이 유도되고 상처치료에 효과를 나타내나, VEGF와 달리 염증반응을 촉발하지 않고 혈관누수를 유도하지 않기 때문에, 급성 또는 만성 상처치료를 위한 유전자 치료제 및 피부외용제로서 사용될 수 있다.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an anti-MIC-1 monoclonal antibody, MBM-14 inhibiting angiogenesis of MIC-1, and more specifically, to an antibody which specifically combines to MIC-1 containing a light chain variable region with amino acid sequences 1,2 and 3 on complementarity determining regions which are CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 and heavy chain variable region with amino acid sequences 4,5 and 6 on complementarity determining regions which are CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. The antibody of the present invention is capable of effectively suppressing angiogenesis induced by MIC-1. Therefore, growth and metastasis of tumors can be stopped, and by using the present invention, treatments can be possible not only cancer, but also diseases related to angiogenesis such as arthritis, diabetes, retina disease, arteriosclerosis and psoriasis. Such treatments can be possible since the antibody of the present invention specifically combines to MIC-1 to disturb combination between MIC-1 and a receptor. In addition, antibodies with improved treatments effects can be invented based on the information of the antibody of the present invention.
