Abstract
Methods and compositions for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammation (obesity)-induced disorders such as insulin resistance, diabetes, cancer and various metabolic disorders, are provided. The methods and compositions detect both full-blown disease and early stage disease by detecting proteolysis, by neutrophil proteases, of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP3). Levels of proteolytic fragments of IGFBP3 and/or levels of intact IGFPB-3 and/or levels/activity neutrophil proteases are detected. Agents (e.g. peptide agents) that inhibit the proteolysis of IGFPB-3 and methods of using the agents to prevent and treat chronic inflammation (obesity)-induced disorders are also provided.
