Abstract: The present invention describes methods for modulating vascular permeability (VP) in tissues using Src or modified Src protein, Yes protein or modified Yes protein, or mixtures thereof, and nucleic acids capable of expression such proteins. In particular, the invention describes methods for inhibiting VP using an inactive Src or Yes protein or a mixture thereof, or nucleic acids encoding therefor, or for potentiating VP using an active, Src or Yes protein or a mixture thereof, or nucleic acids encoding therefor. Related compositions and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods for inhibition of angiogenesis in tissues using vitronectin &agr;v&bgr;3 antagonists, and particularly for inhibiting angiogenesis in inflamed tissues and in tumor tissues and metastases using therapeutic compositions containing &agr;v&bgr;3 antagonists.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods of treating myocardial infarction in a patient administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a chemical Src family tyrosine kinase protein inhibitor. The inhibitor preferably is an inhibitor of Src protein selected from the group consisting of a pyrazolopyrimidine class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a macrocyclic dienone class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and a mixture thereof. Also disclosed are articles of manufacture containing a chemical Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
