GENE THERAPY FOR DIABETIC NEUROPATHY USING AN HGF ISOFORM
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetic neuropathy, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises, as active ingredients, different types of isoforms of HGF or a polynucleotide encoding the isoforms. The present invention is the first invention demonstrating that diabetic neuropathy can be prevented and treated using different types of isoforms of HGF. According to the present invention, it is possible to very effectively treat diabetic neuropathy.
1 . A pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetic neuropathy, the composition comprising, as active ingredients, different types of isoforms of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or at least one polynucleotide encoding the isoforms.
