Tryptase and chymase are angiogenic in vivo in the chorioallantoic membrane assay.
Human mast cells (MCs) are divided in two types depending on the expression of tryptase and chymase in their granules. Literature data indicate that both tryptase and chymase are angiogenic, but there is currently no evidence of their direct angiogenic activity in vivo. In this study, we have investigated the capacity of tryptase and chymase to promote vasoproliferation in chick embryo chorioal...
متن کاملExamination of the role of galectins during in vivo angiogenesis using the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay.
Angiogenesis is a complex multi-process involving various activities of endothelial cells. These activities are influenced in vivo by environmental conditions like interactions with other cell types and the microenvironment. Galectins play a role in several of these interactions and are therefore required for proper execution of in vivo angiogenesis. In this chapter we describe a method to stud...
متن کاملA novel angiogenesis model for screening anti-angiogenic compounds: the chorioallantoic membrane/feather bud assay.
Enhanced angiogenesis is a hallmark of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Anti-angiogenic therapeutic approaches have recently been shown to be effective for the treatment of certain cancers. Endothelial cells migrating to tumors provide them with new blood vessels that are critical for their growth and survival. We have developed a novel and rapid method to evaluate the anti-angiogen...
متن کاملNovel tempeh (fermented soyabean) isoflavones inhibit in vivo angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay.
Anti-angiogenic strategies are emerging as an important tool for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. In the present investigation we isolated several isoflavones from a tempeh (fermented soyabean) extract. The isolated isoflavones were identified as 5,7,4'-trihydroxyisoflavone (genistein), 7,4'-dihydroxyisoflavone (daidzein), 6,7,4'-trihydroxyisoflavone (factor 2), 7,8,4'-trihydr...
متن کاملThe Chick Embryo Chorioallantoic Membrane as an In Vivo Assay to Study Antiangiogenesis
Antiangiogenesis, e.g., inhibition of blood vessel growth, is being investigated as a way to prevent the growth of tumors and other angiogenesis-dependent diseases. Pharmacological inhibition interferes with the angiogenic cascade or the immature neovasculature with synthetic or semi-synthetic substances, endogenous inhibitors or biological antagonists.The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane ...
