摘要: The present invention provides methods for reducing a pathology in subject characterized by deleterious accumulation of TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix tissue introducing nucleic acid encoding TGFβ-specific inhibitory agent or active fragment thereof into cell the subject. In one embodiment, TGF-β specific is introduced vivo injection, example, skeletal muscle. another transfected ex to obtain expressing agent, and then administered be treated. agents include, but are not limited to, members decoring family proteoglycans such as decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin lumican an antibody TGF-β. Pathologies that can reduced include various fibrotic diseases conditions.
