Influence of tumor cell and stroma sensitivity on tumor response to radiation.

TL;DR: The role of tumor cell and tumor stroma sensitivity as determinants of radiation-induced tumor growth delay and host and tumor cell sensitivity on tumor response was unchanged for single doses of 1 x 15 and 6 x 3 Gy-fractionated dose irradiation.

CRLX101, a Nanoparticle-Drug Conjugate Containing Camptothecin, Improves Rectal Cancer Chemoradiotherapy by Inhibiting DNA Repair and HIF1α.

TL;DR: The results offer a preclinical proof of concept for CRLX101 as a modality to improve the outcome of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer treatment, in support of ongoing clinical evaluation of this agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant therapeutics: Pandora's box.

TL;DR: All biological processes of aerobes have coevolved with O2 and this creates a Pandora's box for trying to understand the mechanism(s) of action) of antioxidants being developed as therapeutic agents.

Targeting of the Antivascular Drug Combretastatin to Irradiated Tumors Results in Tumor Growth Delay

TL;DR: These findings indicate that preferential targeting of antivascular drugs to irradiated tumors results in significant tumor growth delay, and are in line with previous studies of this type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raising the bar: how HIF-1 helps determine tumor radiosensitivity.

TL;DR: The apparent importance of free radical species in protecting tumor vasculature, stress granules in regulating hypoxic gene expression, and HIF-1 in regulating tumor sensitivity to ionizing radiation are highlighted.

Role of angiogenesis in tumor growth and metastasis

TL;DR: Preclinical studies have shown that endostatin effectively inhibits tumor growth and shrinks existing tumor blood vessels and therapy with endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis, such asendostatin and angiostatin may reverse the angiogenic switch preventing growth of tumor vasculature.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger hypoxia-induced transcription

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested whether mitochondria act as O2 sensors during hypoxia and whether cobalt activated transcription by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species generated at mitochondrial complex III stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha during hypoxia: a mechanism of O2 sensing.

TL;DR: Findings reveal that mitochondria-derived ROS are both required and sufficient to initiate HIF-1α stabilization during hypoxia and that catalase abolishes hypoxic response element-luciferase expression during Hypoxia.

Tumor Response to Radiotherapy Regulated by Endothelial Cell Apoptosis

TL;DR: Microvascular damage regulates tumor cell response to radiation at the clinically relevant dose range, indicating that endothelial apoptosis is a homeostatic factor regulating angiogenesis-dependent tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

TL;DR: A historic account of the challenges associated with the discovery of VEGF and the early steps in elucidating the role of this molecule in the regulation of angiogenesis is provided.
