Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating a subject having or at risk for an angiogenesis-related disorder. The methods include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that inhibits JNK3 expression, or a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that inhibits JNK3 activity. Disorders that can be treated by these methods include cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, vascular diseases, and other disorders resulting from excessive angiogenesis. The therapeutic agent may be a compound, small molecule, peptide, antibody, antisense nucleic acid, ribozyme, or the like. Methods of identifying a candidate agent that modulates JNK3 expression are also provided.
