Low-dose angiostatic tyrosine kinase inhibitors improve photodynamic therapy for cancer: lack of vascular normalization

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Débora Bonvin

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective clinical treatment for a number of different cancers. PDT can induce hypoxia and inflammation, pro-angiogenic side effects, which may counteract its angio-occlusive mechanism. The combination of PDT with anti-angi ...

Reciprocal interactions between endothelial cells and macrophages in angiogenic vascular niches

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

The ability of macrophages to promote vascular growth has been associated with the secretion and local delivery of classic proangiogenic factors (e.g., VEGF-A and proteases). More recently, a series of studies have also revealed that physical contact of ma ...

Tumor angiogenesis is enforced by autocrine regulation of high-mobility group box 1

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The endothelium plays a pivotal role in the progression of solid tumors and is considered a highly relevant target for therapy. However, it emerges that current clinical angiogenesis inhibitors that act through inhibition of tumor-derived growth factors ar ...

Notch1 regulates angio-supportive bone marrow-derived cells in mice: relevance to chemoresistance

Freddy Radtke

Host responses to chemotherapy can induce resistance mechanisms that facilitate tumor regrowth. To determine the contribution of bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs), we exposed tumor-bearing mice to chemotherapeutic agents and evaluated the influx and contri ...

PHD2 regulates arteriogenic macrophages through TIE2 signalling

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Ferdinando Pucci

Occlusion of the main arterial route redirects blood flow to the collateral circulation. We previously reported that macrophages genetically modified to express low levels of prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2) display an arteriogenic phenotype, whi ...

The promotion of endothelial cell attachment and spreading using FNIII10 fused to VEGF-A(165)

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Mikaël Martino

Synergy in the downstream signaling pathways of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) and the integrin alpha v beta 3 is critical for blood vessel formation. Thus, agents that activate both receptors could possess efficient pro-angiog ...

Angiostatic kinase inhibitors to sustain photodynamic angio-occlusion

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Blaise Lovisa

Targeted angiostatic therapy receives major attention for the treatment of cancer and exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used as an effective clinical approach for these diseases. Since PDT can cause an an ...

Notch-dependent VEGFR3 upregulation allows angiogenesis without VEGF-VEGFR2 signalling

Freddy Radtke

Developing tissues and growing tumours produce vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), leading to the activation of the corresponding receptors in endothelial cells. The resultant angiogenic expansion of the local vasculature can promote physiological ...

Secreted semaphorin 5A suppressed pancreatic tumour burden but increased metastasis and endothelial cell proliferation

Anguraj Sadanandam, Stephan Wullschleger

BACKGROUND: Our earlier reports demonstrated that membrane-bound semaphorin 5A (SEMA5A) is expressed in aggressive pancreatic cancer cells and tumours, and promotes tumour growth and metastasis. In this study, we examine whether (1) pancreatic cancer cells ...

Functional consequences of prolactin signaling in endothelial cells: a potential link with angiogenesis in pathophysiology?

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Prolactin is best known as the polypeptide anterior pituitary hormone, which regulates the development of the mammary gland. However, it became clear over the last decade that prolactin contributes to a broad range of pathologies, including breast cancer. ...
