Title:	Compositions comprising bone morphogenic proteins and truncated parathyroid hormone related peptide and methods of inducing cartilage by administration of same
Abstract:	Compositions of proteins with chondrocyte and cartilaginous tissue inducing activity, as well as method of using those compositions, are disclosed. The compositions comprise one or more proteins of the transforming growth factor-.beta. (TGF-.beta.) superfamily of proteins, particularly bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), in combination with parathyroid hormone related polypeptide (PTHrP) or an equivalent PTH-like polypeptide. The compositions and methods are useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis, cartilage defects and in related tissue repair.
Inventor(s):	Hattersley; Gary (Cambridge, MA), Rosen; Vicki A. (Chestnut Hill, MA)
Assignee:

Patent Claims:	1. A composition comprising: (a) a member selected from the group consisting of the transforming growth factor-.beta. (TGF-.beta.) superfamily; and (b) a truncated parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP) comprising amino acids 1 to 34 of PTHrP; said composition having the activity of inducing the formation or maintenance of cartilaginous tissue in a patient when administered to said patient. 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein its member of (a) is a bone morphogenic protein (BMP) is selected from the group consisting of BMP-1, BMP-3, BMP-6, BMP-8, BMP-9, BMP-10, BMP-11, BMP-14 and BMP-15. 3. The composition of claim 2, wherein said composition further comprises a member selected from the group consisting of the BMP family of proteins. 4. A method for inducing the formation or maintenance of cartilaginous tissue in a patient, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of the composition of claim 1. 5. A method according to claim 4, wherein the patient is suffering from arthritis. 6. A method according to claim 4, wherein the patient is suffering from an articular cartilage defect or damage. 7. A method for inducing cartilaginous tissue formation, growth, differentiation, proliferation, and maintenance comprising administering an effective amount of a composition of claim 1.
