Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to compositions, methods and kits for delivery of an IGF-1 protein or a functional fragment or variant, derivative thereof to cells or tissues that express proteoglycans. More specifically, the present invention relates to fusion proteins comprising a heparin binding protein (HB) comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2. Other aspects relate to use of a HB-IGF-1 fusion proteins in methods to deliver IGF-1 to the cartilage for the treatment of a cartilage related disease and disorder in a subject.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a HB-X fusion protein, wherein HB is a heparin binding peptide having the amino acid sequence (MKRKKKGKGLGKKRDPSLRKYK) (SEQ ID NO:1) or (KRKKKGKGLGKKRDPSLRKYK) (SEQ ID NO:2), and X is Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and further wherein the IGF-1 is a human IGF-1. 2. A composition comprising a HB-X fusion protein, wherein HB is a heparin binding peptide having the amino acid sequence (MKRKKKGKGLGKKRDPSLRKYK) (SEQ ID NO:1) or (KRKKKGKGLGKKRDPSLRKYK) (SEQ ID NO:2), and Xis Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), wherein the IGF-1 comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, 5, 6 or 7. 3. A composition comprising a HB-X fusion protein, wherein HB is a heparin binding peptide having the amino acid sequence (MKRKKKGKGLGKKRDPSLRKYK) (SEQ ID NO:1) or (KRKKKGKGLGKKRDPSLRKYK) (SEQ ID NO:2), and Xis Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), wherein the HB-X fusion protein comprises amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 13 or SEQ ID NO: 15.
