Lipophilicity is a critical parameter that dominates the efficacy of metalloporphyrins in blocking the development of morphine antinociceptive tolerance through peroxynitrite mediated pathways

TL;DR: The role of peroxynitrite rather than superoxide as a major mechanism in blocking the development of morphine tolerance is supported and lipophilicity is a critical parameter in enhancing the potency of such novel peroxlynitrite scavengers.

On the Path to Seeking Novel Radiosensitizers

TL;DR: This review illustrates how the advent of innovative, high-throughput technologies with integration of different disciplines could be harnessed for an expeditious discovery process for novel radiosensitizers, providing an exciting future for such pursuits in radiation biology and oncology.

Rational Design of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Mimics: The Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of New Cationic Mn Porphyrins with Linear and Cyclic Substituents

TL;DR: The data support the notion that the SOD-like activity of MnPs parallels their therapeutic potential, though species other than O2•–, such as peroxynitrite, H2O2, lipid reactive species, and cellular reductants, may be involved in their mode(s) of action.

Regulation of Cancer Cell Metabolism by Hypoxia

TL;DR: A variety of drugs are being explored that influence the mediators of the hypoxic response, such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), and those that target metabolic enzymes directly, which show promise in improving the current standard of care by acting in a synergistic manner with current cancer therapies.

In vivo optical imaging of tumor and microvascular response to ionizing radiation.

TL;DR: A new preclinical experimental platform combining intravital multimodal optical microscopy for cellular-level longitudinal imaging, a small animal x-ray microirradiator for reproducible spatially-localized millimeter-scale irradiations, and laser-capture microdissection of ex vivo tissues for transcriptomic profiling is described.

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.
