Abstract
The invention relates to IHG-1 (induced by high glucose-1) a novel gene which encodes a protein that amplifies fibrotic responses in in vitro and in vivo models of fibrotic disorders and in human diabetic nephropathy. In particular the invention relates to modifications of the IHG-1 structure which are potential fibrosuppressant biotherapeutics and modify cellular invasiveness. The invention also relates to a method of screening a therapeutic agent for suitability for the treatment of fibrotic disease comprising testing a candidate therapeutic agent for the ability to reduce the expression of IHG-1 levels in a model system.
