Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for treating arthritic conditions such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment methods include administering an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an isolated alpha-neurotoxin protein, or an effective variant or fragment thereof. The compositions are effective for decreasing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing the level of interleukin-10 in a subject with arthritis, and can reduce symptoms of the arthritic condition including edema, infiltration of inflammatory cells and pannus formation in affected joints. In some preferred embodiments of compositions in accordance with the invention, the effective therapeutic protein is an alpha-neurotoxin protein isolated from snake venom, or a recombinant or synthetic protein based on, or derived from, the amino acid of sequence of an alpha-neurotoxin protein isolated from snake venom.
