Cancer Treatment by Targeted Drug Delivery to Tumor Vasculature in a Mouse Model

TL;DR: In vivo selection of phage display libraries was used to isolate peptides that home specifically to tumor blood vessels that enhanced the efficacy of the anticancer drug doxorubicin and reduced its toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD13/APN is activated by angiogenic signals and is essential for capillary tube formation.

TL;DR: It is shown that endogenous CD13/APN levels in primary cells and cell lines are up-regulated in response to hypoxia, angiogenic growth factors, and signals regulating capillary tube formation during angiogenesis, establishing the CD13-APN metalloprotease as an important regulator of endothelial morphogenesis duringAngiogenesis.
Journal Article

Differential binding of drugs containing the NGR motif to CD13 isoforms in tumor vessels, epithelia, and myeloid cells.

TL;DR: Examination of the expression of CD13 in normal and neoplastic human tissues and cells by using two anti-CD13 monoclonal antibodies showed that a CD13 isoform expressed in tumor blood vessels could function as a vascular receptor for the NGR motif.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemotherapy targeted to tumor vasculature

TL;DR: Vasculature-targeted chemotherapy--the destruction of tumor blood vessels with cytotoxic agents--makes use of biochemical differences between angiogenic and resting blood vessels, resulting in increased efficacy and reduced toxicity in experiments with tumor-bearing mice.
