Methods And Compositions For Healing And Repair Of Articular Cartilage

US Patent:
6727224, Apr 27, 2004
Filed:
Jan 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/493545
Inventors:
Renwen Zhang - Rutherford NJ
Diane Peluso - Marshfield MA
Elisabeth Morris - Sherborn MA
Assignee:
Genetics Institute, LLC. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61K 3800
US Classification:
514 12, 514 2, 514 44, 128898, 424 9321, 424423, 424422, 424 937, 4353201, 435402, 606152, 623 11
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment of articular cartilage defects and disease involving the combination of tissue, such as osteochondral grafts, with active growth factor. The active growth factor is preferably a composition containing at least one bone morphogenetic protein and a suitable carrier. The method results in the regeneration of functional repair of articular cartilage tissue.

Method For Treating Adamts-5-Associated Disease

US Patent:
7390833, Jun 24, 2008
Filed:
Nov 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/983981
Inventors:
Elisabeth A. Morris - Sherborn MA, US
Sonya Glasson - Belmont MA, US
Jason Shaoyun Xiang - Winchester MA, US
Assignee:
Wyeth - Madison NJ
International Classification:
A01N 41/02, A01N 37/34, A01N 37/30, A01N 37/12, A01N 37/44, A61K 31/275, A61K 31/205, A61K 31/195, A61K 31/255
US Classification:
514518, 514520, 514555, 514562
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of treating ADAMTS-5-associated diseases and particularly osteoarthritis comprising administering an agent capable of modulating ADMATS-5 activity to a subject afflicted with the disease. The agent is preferably a biaryl sulfonamide compound. The invention is based, in part, on the discovery that transgenic animals that do not express functional ADAMTS-5 show a reduction in the degree of osteoarthritis after the induction of osteoarthritis as compared to WT animals. Furthermore, the ADAMTS-5 transgenic animals have reduced aggrecanase activity in articular tissue as compared to WT animals. These animals are good models for ADAMTS-5-associated diseases, and for screening of drugs useful in the treatment and/or prevention of these diseases. There are no other animal models in which the deletion of the activity of a single gene is capable of abrogating the course of osteoarthritis. Accordingly, these animals also show that osteoarthritis can be prevented and/or treated by administering to a subject an ADAMTS-5 inhibitory agent and particularly an agent capable of inhibiting the aggrecanase activity of ADAMTS-5.
