Exposure to hypoxia following irradiation increases radioresistance in prostate cancer cells

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of post-irradiation hypoxic exposure on the radioresponse of 2 prostate cancer (CaP) cell lines (22Rv1, DU145) was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does the tumor microenvironment influence radiation-induced apoptosis?

TL;DR: Hypoxia, low glucose and acidosis influence radiation-induced apoptosis and thus may be detrimental to radiotherapy, which is important to investigate which factors determine these apoptotic processes and hence their likely impact on therapeutic gain.

Modulating Tumor Vasculature through Signaling Inhibition to Improve Cytotoxic Therapy

TL;DR: The tumor microenvironment is a key factor in cancer treatment response and changes in the tumor vasculature can be achieved by inhibiting tumor cell signaling, resulting in enhanced tumor oxygenation, which could promote responses to both chemo and radiation therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibiting vasculogenesis after radiation: a new paradigm to improve local control by radiotherapy.

TL;DR: The effect of inhibiting vasculogenesis following tumor irradiation is a marked increase in the radiation response of transplanted or chemically induced tumors in mice and rats and suggests that higher levels of local control of tumors in several sites would be achievable with this strategy.

Radiotherapy and the tumor microenvironment: mutual influence and clinical implications.

TL;DR: This chapter describes this bidirectional relationship in detail, exploring the role and clinical implications of the tumor microenvironment with respect to therapeutic irradiation.

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.
