Journal ArticleDOI

Recent molecular discoveries in angiogenesis and antiangiogenic therapies in cancer

TL;DR: Recent discoveries of new mechanisms underlying angiogenesis are examined, successes and challenges of current antiangiogenic therapy are discussed, and emerging antiangIogenic paradigms are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes and Wound Angiogenesis.

TL;DR: This review focuses on diabetic wound healing, paying special attention to the aberrations that have been described in the proliferative, remodeling, and maturation phases of wound angiogenesis and considers therapeutics that may offer promise to better wound healing outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small molecules in targeted cancer therapy: advances, challenges, and future perspectives.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of small-molecule targeted anti-cancer drugs according to the target classification is conducted, which presents all the approved drugs as well as important drug candidates in clinical trials for each target, and discusses the current challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macro- and microvascular endothelial dysfunction in diabetes

TL;DR: This reviews pays special attention to microRNAs and their modulatory role in diabetes‐induced vascular dysfunction and some therapeutic strategies for preventing and restoring diabetic endothelial dysfunction are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

FGFR inhibitors: Effects on cancer cells, tumor microenvironment and whole-body homeostasis (Review)

TL;DR: The dual inhibition of FGF and CSF1 or VEGF signaling is expected to enhance the antitumor effects through the targeting of immune evasion and angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment.

Angiopoietin-3, a novel member of the angiopoietin family.

TL;DR: A cDNA clone encoding angiopoietin-3 protein (Ang3) was identified in this paper, which was cloned from a human aorta cDNA library.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiopoietin-2, an angiogenic regulator, promotes initial growth and survival of breast cancer metastases to the lung through the integrin-linked kinase (ILK)-AKT-B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) pathway.

TL;DR: The data underscore the importance that up-regulated Ang2 not only stimulates breast cancer growth and metastasis at late stages of the process, but is also critical at the initiating stages of metastases onset, thereby suggesting Ang2 as a promising therapeutic target for treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A decreased ratio between serum levels of the antagonistic angiopoietins 1 and 2 indicates tumour progression of malignant melanoma

TL;DR: The ratio between both angiopoietins is significantly altered in late stage melanoma patients, shifting the balance to favour angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Construction of a ganciclovir-sensitive lentiviral vector to assess the influence of angiopoietin-3 and soluble Tie2 on glioma growth

TL;DR: This study helps to understand the importance of the Tie2 signaling pathway in glioma development and the role of Angpt3, but suggests that neither this molecule nor sTie2 are effective agents against malignant gliomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiopoietin-3 overexpression in tobacco smoke-induced mouse lung tumors and its relation to vitamin E intervention.

TL;DR: It is indicated that smoking could upregulate the expression of Ang-3, which may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of smoke-induced lung cancer, and could also be a target in lung cancer treatment.
