Summary for Patent: 7,794,711
Title:Agent for treating chondroma and chondrosarcoma
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel agent for treating chondroma and chondrosarcoma containing a substance which inhibits binding of parathyroid hormone related peptide to its receptor for improving the prognosis of chondroma or chondrosarcoma.
Inventor(s): Yoshikawa; Hideki (Osaka, JP), Miyaji; Takahiro (Osaka, JP)
Assignee: Chugai Seiyaku Kabushiki Kaisha (Tokyo, JP)
Application Number:10/533,584
Patent Claims:1. A method for treating chondroma and chondrosarcoma, which comprises administering, to a subject in need thereof, a substance which inhibits binding of parathyroid hormone related peptide to a receptor thereof, wherein the substance is humanized anti-PTHrP(1-34) antibody wherein the L chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with any one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 48-55 and the H chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 56.

2. A method of inducing apoptosis in chondroma and chondrosarcoma cells by administering a substance which inhibits binding of parathyroid hormone related peptide and a receptor thereof, wherein the substance is humanized anti-PTHrP(1-34) antibody wherein the L chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with any one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 48-55 and the H chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 56.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the apoptosis is induced through the control of Bcl-2/Bax by the humanized anti-PTHrP(1-34) antibody wherein the L chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with any one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 48-55 and the H chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 56.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the apoptosis is induced through the control of caspase 3 by humanized the anti-PTHrP(1-34) antibody wherein the L chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with any one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 48-55 and the H chain V domain comprises a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 56.

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the apoptosis is induced in vivo.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein the apoptosis is induced in vitro.
