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 ...

VEGF-C Promotes Immune Tolerance in B16 Melanomas and Cross-Presentation of Tumor Antigen by Lymph Node Lymphatics

Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Amanda Waite Lund, Susan Thomas, Amine Issa, Vidya Raghavan

Tumor expression of the lymphangiogenic factor VEGF-C is correlated with metastasis and poor prognosis, and although VEGF-C enhances transport to the draining lymph node (dLN) and antigen exposure to the adaptive immune system, its role in tumor immunity r ...

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. ...

Cytotoxic Effects of Combination of Oxidosqualene Cyclase Inhibitors with Atorvastatin in Human Cancer Cells

Holger Fischer

Ten oxidosqualene c-yclase inhibitors with high efficacy as cholesterol-lowering agents and of different chemical structure classes were evaluated as potential anticancer agents against human cancer cells from various tissue origins and nontumoral human-br ...

Photodynamic drug delivery enhancement in tumours does not depend on leukocyte-endothelial interaction in a human mesothelioma xenograft model

Hubert van den Bergh, Elodie Debefve, Hans-Anton Lehr

OBJECTIVES: The pre-treatment of tumour neovessels by low-level photodynamic therapy (PDT) improves the distribution of concomitantly administered systemic chemotherapy. The mechanism by which PDT permeabilizes the tumour vessel wall is only partially know ...

Circulating endothelial progenitors and tumor resistance to vascular-targeting therapies

Michele De Palma

Acute mobilization of circulating endothelial progenitors has been implicated in tumor resistance to vascular-disrupting agents. In the current issue of Cancer Discovery, Taylor and colleagues provide novel insight into the kinetics of endothelial progenit ...
