C-MET RECEPTOR REGULATION BY ANGIOTENSIN IV (AT4) RECEPTOR LIGANDS

The cell surface c-Met receptor, through which hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signals are mediated, has now been identified as the Angiotensin-IV receptor (AT(4)R) in processes that include HGF-regulated cell motility, angiogenesis, cancer metastasis, adipogenesis and others. Disclosed are angiotensin-like factor compositions and methods for using them to diagnose, prevent and/or treat conditions associated with c-Met dysregulation, including cancer, obesity and conditions associated with obesity, and other disorders, for example, by altering hepatocyte growth factor activity or c-Met receptor activity by administering an angiotensin-like factor that specifically binds to a cell surface c-Met receptor. In addition, members of this group of molecules may useful for treating or preventing the development of neurodegenerative diseases like general dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and initiating recovery from traumatic brain injury and spinal cord trauma. These peptides and peptidomimetics may be therapeutically useful whenever increased neurotrophic activity would be clinically advantageous..
