  • Publication number: 20070031392
    Abstract: Recombinant nucleic acid molecules are constructed with a first sequence encoding a transgene under the control of regulatory sequences that direct expression of the transgene product in a hematopoietic stem cell, or a progenitor cell therefrom or cell differentiated therefrom. In one embodiment, the cell which expresses the transgene is a secretory cell. The cell is a megakaryotic progenitor cell, or a cell further differentiated therefrom, such as a platelet. The cell is a granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cell or a cell further differentiated therefrom, such as a mast cell or neutrophils. Such host cells containing the molecule or the molecule itself are employed in methods for treating or preventing infection, inflammation or vascular injuries or any disorders involving or mediated by cells of the hematopoietic lineage.

  • Publication number: 20050158300
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods comprising one or more domains of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (UPA) in an amount effective to modulate one or more of the contractility and angiogenic activity of a mammalian muscle or endothelial cell or tissue for use in the treatment of a disease or condition having as a symptom thereof one or more of abnormal muscle cell or tissue contractility and abnormal angiogenic activity. The one or more domains of uPA can be present in the inventive compositions and methods either as part of the full uPA molecule in either single chain or two chain form (scuPA or tcuPA), or as an isolated polypeptide, or a fragment of the uPA molecule (e.g., the amino terminal fragment “ATF”), or a deletion mutant of the uPA molecule.
