MP0250, a VEGF and HGF neutralizing DARPin® molecule shows high anti-tumor efficacy in mouse xenograft and patient-derived tumor models

Background The VEGF/VEGFR and the HGF/cMET pathways are key mediators of the interplay of tumor cells and their microenvironment. However, inhibition of VEGF has been shown to produce only limited clinical benefit and inhibition of the activation of cMET by HGF has not translated into clinical benefit in pivotal trials. MP0250, a DARPin® molecule that specifically inhibits both VEGF and HGF has...

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor can induce angiogenesis independently of vascular endothelial growth factor.

OBJECTIVE Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) promotes vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and induces angiogenesis in multiple pathological conditions. The present study was designed to delineate the HGF/SF and VEGF signaling cascades during angiogenesis by using PTK787, a selective VEGF receptor antagonist. METHODS AND RESULTS PTK787 produced a concentration-de...

Increased Sp1 phosphorylation as a mechanism of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF/SF)-induced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF/VPF) transcription.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF/SF)-induced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF/VPF) has been implicated in paracrine amplification of angiogenesis, contributing to angiogenic responses during inflammation, wound healing, collateral formation and tumor growth. We have shown previously that HGF/SF-mediated VEGF/VPF expression by keratinocytes is primarily dependent on transcript...

Prognostic significance of serum hepatocyte growth factor in clear cell renal cell carcinoma: comparison with serum vascular endothelial growth factor.

No adequate serum predictive biomarker currently exists, which can identify the activity of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We investigate the association of serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels with clinicopathologic parameters in untreated clear cell RCC patients. We measured serum levels of HGF and VEGF in 45 patients with untreated clea...

Serum levels of endostatin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing early reperfusion therapy.

Angiogenesis is controlled by anti-angiogenic factors as well as by angiogenic factors, such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and HGF (hepatocyte growth factor). Endostatin, a potent endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, is known to inhibit endothelial proliferation and suppress tumour growth. However, to date, little is known about the pathophysiology of endostatin in ischaemia/reperf...
