Materials and methods for improving kidney function or enhancing proliferation or survival of kidney tubule epithelial cells or epithelial cell precursors in a mammal are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the mammal a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a zvegf4 protein or a zvegf4 protein-encoding polynucleotide in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable delivery vehicle. Zvegf4 proteins include, for example, disulfide-bonded dimers of two polypeptide chains, each comprising residues 258-370 of SEQ ID NO:2.

Cette invention se rapporte à des matériels et à des méthodes permettant d'améliorer la fonction rénale ou de renforcer la prolifération ou la survie des cellules épithéliales des tubules rénaux ou des précurseurs de cellules épithéliales chez un mammifère. Lesdits procédés consistent à administrer au mammifère une composition contenant une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace d'une protéine zvegf4 ou d'un polynucléotide codant la protéine zvegf4 en combinaison avec un vecteur pharmaceutiquement acceptable. Les protéines zvegf4 comprennent, par exemple, des dimères à liaison disulfure de deux chaîne polypeptidiques, chacune de ces chaînes comportant des résidus 258-370 de la séquence SEQ ID NO:2.
