Gene therapy strategies for tumor antiangiogenesis.
Based on the concept that solid tumors cannot grow without the generation of new blood vessels, there is growing interest in the use of antiangiogenesis agents to inhibit tumor growth. This review summarizes the concepts of using gene transfer vectors to provide high concentration of antiangiogenic proteins within an organ. While there are many challenges that must be met before antiangiogenesi...
متن کاملGene therapy for antiangiogenesis.
Angiogenesis inhibitors have evolved as a new diverse class of compounds that can be used to block tumor growth (1,2). The inhibitors, which may be natural or synthetic, include protease inhibitors (i.e., tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases), tyrosine kinase inhibitors, chemokines, interleukins, and proteolytic fragments of diverse molecules (i.e., endostatin, vasostatin, canstatin, ...
متن کاملGene-viral cancer therapy using dual-regulated oncolytic adenovirus with antiangiogenesis gene for increased efficacy.
Conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAD) represents a promising approach for cancer therapy. Several CRADs controlled by the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter have been developed. However, because of their replicative capacity, the importance of cancer specificity for CRADs needs to be further emphasized. In this study, we have developed a novel dual-regulated CRAD, CNHK500-mE,...
متن کاملTumor-targeting and microenvironment-responsive smart nanoparticles for combination therapy of antiangiogenesis and apoptosis.
Tumor microenvironment, such as the lowered tumor extracellular pH (pHe) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), has been extensively explored, which promotes the development of the microenvironment-responsive drug delivery system. Utilizing these unique features, an activatable cell-penetrating peptide (designated as dtACPP) that is dual-triggered by the lowered pHe and MMP2 has been constructe...
متن کاملGalectin-1 is essential in tumor angiogenesis and is a target for antiangiogenesis therapy.
We describe that galectin-1 (gal-1) is a receptor for the angiogenesis inhibitor anginex, and that the protein is crucial for tumor angiogenesis. gal-1 is overexpressed in endothelial cells of different human tumors. Expression knockdown in cultured endothelial cells inhibits cell proliferation and migration. The importance of gal-1 in angiogenesis is illustrated in the zebrafish model, where e...
