INHIBITION OF CELL MOTILITY AND ANGIOGENESIS

Disclosed are methods of inhibiting cell motility, for example, by inhibiting the binding between an intracellular transducer and a receptor protein tyrosine kinase, and more particularly by inhibiting hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) induced cell motility. The present invention also provides a method...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are methods of inhibiting cell motility, for example, by inhibiting the binding between an intracellular transducer and a receptor protein tyrosine kinase, and more particularly by inhibiting hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) induced cell motility. The present invention also provides a method of inhibiting angiogenesis. The methods of the present invention employ peptides such as phosphotyrosyl mimetics. The present invention further provides methods of preventing and/or treating diseases, disorders, states, or conditions such as cancer, particularly metastatic cancer comprising administering to a mammal of interest one or more peptides of the present invention. Also disclosed are methods of blocking HGF, VEGF, or bFGF-stimulated migration, cell proliferation, and formation of capillary-like structures.
