A novel growth factor specific for vascular endothelial cells has been identified in conditioned medium of bovine pituitary derived folliculo stellate cells. This factor, named folliculo stellate derived growth facto (FSdGF) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), was purified to homogeneity by a combination of heparin sepharose affinity chromatography, Bio Gel P-60 exclusion chromatography, Mono S ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic chromatography on a C4 reverse phase HPLC column. The factor is also found in the murine AtT-20 cell line. Alternatively, the growth factor is purified by a first reverse phase HPLC using acetonitrile gradient followed by a second reverse phase HPLC using an isopropanol gradient. FSdGF, having a molecular weight of about 43,000 da, was characterized as a glycoprotein composed of two homologous sub units with MW of about 23 kDa. FSdGF was a potent mitogen for vascular endothelial cells with activity detectable at 10 pg / ml and saturation at 500 pg / ml. It did not stimulate the proliferation of other cell types such as bovine corneal endothelial cells, adrenal cortex cells, granulosa cells, BALB / MK cells or BHK-21 cells. Microsequencing revealed an amino terminal sequence containing no significant homology to any known protein. The release of FSdGF by pituitary cells and its unique target cell specificity indicate that FSdGF is useful in angiogenesis.

The invention relates to the use of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor-1 (R1) antagonists and / or CRH-R2 receptor agonists for the treatment of inflammatory diseases via regulation of monocyte / macrophage cell activation, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory cytokine production. As CRH system we define natural and synthetic CRH and urocortin (UCN) agonists and antagonists for the CRH-R1 and CRH-R2 receptors and their subtypes as well as the CRH-binding protein (BP), a CRH pseudo-receptor. The invention is directed towards pharmacological intervention for the amelioration or treatment of inflammatory diseases using the CRH system-mediated control of monocyte / macrophage cells which play a key role in initiating and maintaining the inflammatory response via production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as is the interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. By the term inflammation we define the response of an organism to noxious endogenous or exogenous stimuli causing tissue injury. Inflammation is a host defence mechanism, which might harm the defending organism. The invention also provides methods for the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of natural and synthetic CRH system modulators for the control of the monocyte / macrophage system.
