Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/S (Bagsvaerd, DK)
Primary Examiner: Weber; Jon P.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Green, Esq.; Reza

The present invention provides methods for identifying candidate drugs that modulate factor VIIa-mediated intracellular signaling by measuring the effects of such drugs on the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) signaling pathway.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the use of FVII or FVIIa or another TF agonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for inducing or enhancing activation of the MAPK signalling pathway in a patient, in particular wherein phosphorylation of MAPK/Erk1/2 leads to activation of transcription factor Elk1.
The present invention also relates to the use of FVII, FVIIa or another TF agonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for enhancing FVIIa-induced activation of the MAPK signalling pathway in a patient.
In a further aspect the present invention relates to the use of FVII, FVIIa or another TF agonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for inducing or enhancing activation of transcription factor Elk1.
In a still further aspect the present invention relates to the use of FVIIai or another TF antagonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting or preventing activation of the MAPK signalling pathway in a patient.
In a further aspect the present invention relates to the use of FVIIai or another TF antagonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting or preventing activation of transcription factor Elk1 in a patient.
In a still further aspect the present invention relates to use of FVIIai or another TF antagonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for inhibition or prevention of FVIIa-induced activation of the MAPK signalling pathway in a patient.
In an embodiment of the present invention it relates to the use of FVIIa or another TF agonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of re-endothelization, co-lateral revascularization in ischemia/reperfusion in myocardial infarction diabetic microangiopathy.
In another embodiment of the present invention it relates to the use of FVIIai or another TF antagonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of restenosis, cancer.
In a further aspect the present invention concerns a method for inducing or enhancing activation of the MAPK signalling pathway in a patient, which comprises administering an effective amount of FVII or FVIIa or another TF agonist to said patient
