Filed: 2009-08-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA, designated miR-126, that is a regulator of vascu-lar integrity in endothelial cells. This endothelial cell-restricted microRNA mediates developmental angiogenesis in vivo, and tar-geted deletion of miR-126 in mice causes leaky vessels, hemorrhaging, and partial embryonic lethality, due to a loss of vascular integrity and defects in endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. These vascular abnormalities resemble the con-sequences of diminished signaling by angiogenic growth factors, such as VEGF and FGF. These findings have important thera-peutic implications for a variety of disorders involving abnormal angiogenesis and vascular leakage. Methods of treating disease states characterized by ischemia, vascular damage, and pathologic neovascularization by modulating miR-126 function are dis-closed.
