Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides dominant negative mutants of FGF2 for suppressing FGF-mediated cellular signaling. Related compositions, methods, and kits are disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising: (1) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has (A) an E substitution at K119 and an E substitution at R120 or (B) an E substitution at K125, and wherein the polypeptide suppresses FGF2 signaling; (2) an anti-angiogenic agent; and (3) a physiologically acceptable carrier. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has (A) an E substitution at K119 and an E substitution at R120 or (B) an E substitution at K125. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has an E substitution at K125. 4. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has an E substitution at K119 and an E substitution at R120. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has an E substitution at K119 and an E substitution at R120. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has an E substitution at K125. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide further comprises at least one heterologous amino acid sequence at the N- and/or C-terminus of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. 8. A method for suppressing FGF2 signaling in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of the composition of claim 1 . 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the composition is administered orally. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the composition is administered topically. 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the composition is administered intravenously. 12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mammal has a vascularized solid tumor or metastases from a primary tumor. 13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mammal is a human. 14. A kit for suppressing FGF signaling, comprising (1) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 has (A) an E substitution at K119 and an E substitution at R120 or (B) an E substitution at K125, and wherein the polypeptide suppresses FGF2 signaling; and (2) an anti-angiogenic agent. 15. The kit of claim 14 , further comprising an instruction manual.
