Anti-angiogenesis Cancer Gene Therpay Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since the relationship between angiogenesis and tumor growth was established by Folkman in 1971, scientists have made efforts exploring the possibilities in treating cancer by targeting angiogenesis. Inhibition of angiogenesis growth factors and administration of angiogenesis inhibitors are the basics of antiangiogenesis therapy. Transfer of anti-angiogenesis genes has received attention recently not only because of the advancement of recombinant vectors, but also because of the localized and sustained expression of therapeutic gene product inside the tumor after gene transfer. This review provides the up-to-date information about the strategies and the vectors studied in the field of anti-angiogenesis cancer gene therapy. © 2006 The WJG Press. All rights reserved.

متن کاملThe Role of Angiogenesis in Cancer Treatment
A number of anti-angiogenesis drugs have been FDA-approved and are being used in cancer treatment, and a number of other agents are in different stages of clinical development or in preclinical evaluation. However, pharmacologic anti-angiogenesis strategies that arrest tumor progression might not be enough to eradicate tumors. Decreased anti-angiogenesis activity in single mechanism-based anti-...
متن کاملAnti-Angiogenic and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Physalis Alkekengi Hydroalcholic Extract on Breast Cancer in Mice
Background & Objective: The Physalis alkekengi is a herbaceous plant belonging to Solanaceae family. According to research, this plant can help inhibit cancer cell growth. Materials & Methods: In this study, the extract of Physalis alkekengi was used to suppress angiogenesis in Balb/c mice. First, the MC4L2 cells were injected in the mice breastbone and the tumor began to grow in this area, th...
متن کاملIn vitro combination therapy of pathologic angiogenesis using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and anti-neuropilin-1 nanobodies
Objective(s): Emergence of resistant tumor cells to the current therapeutics is the main hindrance in cancer treatment. Combination therapy, which mixes two or more drugs, is a way to overcome resistant problems of cancer cells to current treatments. Nanobodies are promising tools in cancer therapy due to their high affinity as well as high penetration to tumor sites....
متن کاملGene therapy of liver cancer.
Gene therapy of liver cancer covers a variety of gene transfer strategies aimed to the treatment of patients with primary and secondary liver tumors, including gene directed enzyme/pro-drug therapy, inhibition of oncogenes and restoration of tumor-suppressor genes, immunotherapy, anti-angiogenesis and virotherapy. Some of these strategies have reached early clinical development with diverse lit...
