angiogenesis and tumor
angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from existing ones, plays an important role in the physiologic circumstances such as embryonic development, placenta formation, and wound healing. it is also crucial to progress of pathogenic processes of a variety of disorders, including tumor growth and metastasis. in general, angiogenesis process is a multi-factorial and highly structu...
متن کاملPerlecan Suppression Blocks Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis
Perlecan, a ubiquitous heparan sulfate proteoglycan, possesses angiogenic and growth-promoting attributes primarily by acting as a coreceptor for basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). In this report we blocked perlecan expression by using either constitutive CMV-driven or doxycyclineinducible antisense constructs. Growth of colon carcinoma cells was markedly attenuated upon obliteration of pe...
متن کاملDatura innoxia anti-angiogenesis properties
Background and objectives: Datura innoxiaMilleris one of the two species of Datura (Solanaceae) which grow in Iran. There are many reports of the biological activities of Datura and in the present study the ability of Datura innoxia for inhibiting angiogenesis was evaluated. Methods: The methanol extract and petroleum ether, ...
متن کاملTumor angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic therapy.
Anti-angiogenic therapy is an anti-cancer strategy that targets the new vessels that grow to provide oxygen and nutrients to actively proliferating tumor cells. Most of the current anti-cancer reagents used in the clinical setting indiscriminately target all rapidly dividing cells, resulting in severe adverse effects such as immunosuppression, intestinal problems and hai...
متن کاملSmad4/DPC4-mediated tumor suppression through suppression of angiogenesis.
Smad4/DPC4 (deleted in pancreatic carcinoma, locus 4) is a tumor suppressor gene lost at high frequency in cancers of the pancreas and other gastrointestinal organs. Smad4 encodes a key intracellular messenger in the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling cascade. TGF-beta is a potent inhibitor of the growth of epithelial cells; thus, it has been assumed that loss of Smad4 during ...
