Tumor regression by targeted gene delivery to the neovasculature.
Efforts to influence the biology of blood vessels by gene delivery have been hampered by a lack of targeting vectors specific for endothelial cells in diseased tissues. Here we show that a cationic nanoparticle (NP) coupled to an integrin alphavbeta3-targeting ligand can deliver genes selectively to angiogenic blood vessels in tumor-bearing mice. The therapeutic efficacy of this approach was te...
متن کاملroves Chemotherapy Delivery to Tumors
Downlo iangiogenic therapies are frequently used with concomitantly administered cancer chemotherapy to imoutcomes, but the mechanism for the benefit of the combination is uncertain. We describe a mechanism ich a specific, cytotoxic antivascular agent causes vascular remodeling and improved chemotherapy s. By selectively killing tumor neovasculature using short-ranged α-particles targeted to va...
متن کاملTumor priming using metronomic chemotherapy with neovasculature-targeted, nanoparticulate paclitaxel.
Normalization of the tumor microenvironment is a promising approach to render conventional chemotherapy more effective. Although passively targeted drug nanocarriers have been investigated to this end, actively targeted tumor priming remains to be explored. In this work, we demonstrate an effective tumor priming strategy using metronomic application of nanoparticles actively targeted to tumor n...
متن کاملEnhancement of antitumor properties of TRAIL by targeted delivery to the tumor neovasculature.
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising anticancer agent with tumor-selective apoptotic activity. TRAIL plays a role in the innate and adaptive immune response and autoimmune disease and may also be involved in hepatic cell death and inflammation. For these reasons, chronic exposure to TRAIL may have deleterious side effects in patients as a cancer therape...
متن کاملModification of Cyclic NGR Tumor Neovasculature-Homing Motif Sequence to Human Plasminogen Kringle 5 Improves Inhibition of Tumor Growth
BACKGROUND Blood vessels in tumors express higher level of aminopeptidase N (APN) than normal tissues. Evidence suggests that the CNGRC motif is an APN ligand which targets tumor vasculature. Increased expression of APN in tumor vascular endothelium, therefore, offers an opportunity for targeted delivery of NGR peptide-linked drugs to tumors. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To determine whether an...
