Provided herein are a variety of methods and compositions for regulating angiogenesis, such methods and compositions being useful in a variety of applications where modulation of vascular formation is useful, including, but not limited to, treatments for ischemia and wound healing. Certain of the methods and compositions accomplish this by using various zinc finger proteins that bind to particular target sites in one or more VEGF genes. Nucleic acids encoding the zinc finger proteins are also disclosed. Methods for modulating the expression of one or more VEGF genes with the zinc finger proteins and nucleic acids are also disclosed. Such methods can also be utilized in a variety of therapeutic applications that involve the regulation of endothelial cell growth. Pharmaceutical compositions including the zinc finger proteins or nucleic acids encoding them are also provided.

L'invention concerne une variété de procédés et de compositions destinés à réguler l'angiogenèse, des procédés et des compositions s'avérant utiles dans une variété d'applications dans lesquelles la modulation de formation vasculaire est utile, telles, qu'entre autres, les traitements de l'ischémie et ceux stimulant la cicatrisation. Pour ce faire, certains procédés et certaines compositions utilisent des protéines à doigts de zinc qui lient les sites cibles particuliers à un ou plusieurs gènes du facteur de croissance endothélial vasculaire (VEGF). L'invention concerne également des acides nucléiques codant les protéines à doigts de zinc, et des procédés de modulation de l'expression d'un ou plusieurs gènes du VEGF au moyen des protéines à doigts de zinc et des acides nucléiques. Ces procédés peuvent aussi être utilisés dans une variété d'applications thérapeutiques impliquant la régulation de la croissance des cellules endothéliales. L'invention concerne enfin des compositions pharmaceutiques contenant des protéines à doigts de zinc ou des acides nucléiques les codant.
