Abstract
Disclosed are methods and agents for modulating proliferation, migration and/or survival of cells. More particularly, the present invention discloses molecules that have any one or more activities selected from: inhibiting binding of vitronectin to at least one vitronectin-binding partner selected from an IGF and IGFBP, inhibiting formation of a complex comprising vitronectin and at least one vitronectin-binding partner selected from an IGF and IGFBP, or inhibiting proliferation or survival of a hyperproliferative cell (e.g., a neoplastic cell or non-neoplastic cell), or inhibiting migration or invasion of a hyperproliferative cell (e.g., a neoplastic cell or a non-neoplastic cell). Additionally, the present invention discloses the use of these molecules in methods and compositions for treating or preventing hyperproliferative cell disorders including neoplastic (e.g., cancers such as epithelial cancers) and non-neoplastic disorders.
