Inhibition Of Focal Adhesion Kinase For Control Of Scar Tissue Formation

US Patent:
2013016, Jun 27, 2013
Filed:
Dec 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/706186
Inventors:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA, US
Michael T. Longaker - Stanford CA, US
Victor W. Wong - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61K 45/06, A61K 31/506
US Classification:
514275
Abstract:
The formation of scars at a wound site is reduced by contacting the wound site with an effective dose of an inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity or expression. Blockade of FAK is sufficient to prevent mechanical and inflammatory stimuli from activating MCP-1 pathways. In addition to these chemokine-mediated mechanisms, inhibition of FAK may control fibrosis by blocking fibroblast collagen production. Pharmacologic blockade of FAK significantly reduces scar formation in vivo.
