Are epsins a therapeutic target for tumor angiogenesis?
Solid tumor growth requires the formation of new blood vessels to supply nutrients and oxygen to the malignant cells; one approach to cancer therapy is to block this process by inhibiting VEGF signaling. In this issue of the JCI, Pasula et al. demonstrate a surprising role of epsins--proteins involved in endocytosis--in tumor angiogenesis via their modulation of VEGF signaling. Their findings s...
متن کاملDll4-Notch signaling as a therapeutic target in tumor angiogenesis
Tumor angiogenesis is an important target for cancer therapy, with most current therapies designed to block the VEGF signaling pathway. However, clinical resistance to anti-VEGF therapy highlights the need for targeting additional tumor angiogenesis signaling pathways. The endothelial Notch ligand Dll4 (delta-like 4) has recently emerged as a critical regulator of tumor angiogenesis and thus as...
متن کاملLncRNA as a Therapeutic Target for Angiogenesis
BACKGROUND Out of 3 billion base pairs in human genome only ~2% code for proteins; and out of 180,000 transcripts in human cells, about 20,000 code for protein, remaining 160,000 are non-coding transcripts. Most of these transcripts are more than 200 base pairs and constitute a group of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Many of the lncRNA have its own promoter, and are well conserved in mammals. Ac...
متن کاملAngiogenesis as a therapeutic target in endometriosis.
INTRODUCTION Angiogenesis is a key factor for the successful establishment and growth of endometriotic lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a literature search in PubMed and reviewed the most pertinent studies published until January 2014 and focused on the endometriosis-associated angiogenesis and/or anti-angiogenic strategies for the treatment of this gynecological disorder. RESULTS...
متن کاملAngiogenesis as a therapeutic target in cancer.
Clinical Medicine Vol 8 No 4 August 2008 455 © Royal College of Physicians, 2008. All rights reserved. New blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) is a physiological process which is active in embryogenesis, in adults during wound healing and in the female reproductive cycle. Physiologically, it is a tightly regulated and transient process under the control of a host of proand anti-angiogenic fac...
