Cancer immunotherapy of targeting angiogenesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tumor growth and metastasis are angiogenesis-dependent. Anti-angiogenic therapy may be a useful approach to cancer therapy. This review discussed tumor angiogenesis and immunotherapy of targeting tumor angiogenesis from two main aspects: (1) active vaccination to induce effective anti-angiogenesis immunity; (2) passive immunotherapy with anti-pro-angiogenic molecules relevant antibody. Evidence from the recent years suggested that anti-angiogenic therapy should be one of the most promising approaches to cancer therapy.

Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic activity of V. herbacea extract against human ovarian cancer (SKOV3) cells was determined by MTT assay. The apoptosis-inducing pote...
متن کاملMouse dendritic-endothelial cell hybrids and 4-1BB costimulation elicit antitumor effects mediated by broad antiangiogenic immunity.
Antiangiogenic immunotherapy, which targets molecules critical to tumor angiogenesis, is expected to counteract the negative effect of tumor cell genetic instability on the outcome of immunotherapy targeting tumor antigens. Previously, targeting of individual angiogenic molecules has been shown to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and limit tumor growth. Nevertheless, this approach may be bypassed by ...
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....
