VERFAHREN ZUR IDENTIFIZIERUNG NEUARTIGER GENE, DIE BEI DER REGULATION DER ANGIOGENESE EINER ROLLE SPIELEN, ANALYSE DIESER GENE SOWIE IHRE VERWENDUNG ZU THERAPEUTISCHEN ZWECKEN

摘要

A process for identifying genes coding for cellular constituents involved in regulating angiogenesis including culturing endothelial cells on an extracellular matrix protein according to at least four different types of conditions: a reference condition, an angiogenesis promoting condition, an angiogenesis inhibiting condition, and a control condition; isolating messenger RNAs stemming from cells cultured according to the different conditions; and comparing at the qualitative and/or quantitative level, different messenger RNA populations to identify messenger RNAs stemming exclusively or in a particularly elevated quantity from cell cultures under conditions stimulating and/or inhibiting angiogenesis, the messenger RNAs corresponding to the genes coding for the cellular constituents involved in regulating angiogenesis.
