Endogenous Matrix-Derived Inhibitors of Angiogenesis
Endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis are proteins or fragments of proteins that are formed in the body, which can inhibit the angiogenic process. These molecules can be found both in the circulation and sequestered in the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding cells. Many matrix-derived inhibitors of angiogenesis, such as endostatin, tumstatin, canstatin and arresten, are bioactive fragments o...
متن کاملEndogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is required for many pathologic processes, including invasive tumor growth as well as physiologic organ/tissue maintenance. Angiogenesis during development and adulthood is likely regulated by a balance between endogenous proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors. It is speculated that tumor growth requires disruption of such balance; thus, the a...
متن کاملEndogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis.
In the course of embryonic development, during some normal physiological processes in the adult, such as the female reproductive cycle, and also in a variety of pathologies, including tumour growth, new blood vessels develop from the pre-existing vascular network through endothelial cell sprouting, proliferation and fusion a process termed angiogenesis (Risau, 1997). Blocking tumour angiogenesi...
متن کاملThe Matrix Reloaded: New Insights from Type IV Collagen Derived Endogenous Angiogenesis Inhibitors and their Mechanism of Action
Angiogenesis, the process of neovascularization from parent blood vessels, is a prerequisite for many physiological and pathological conditions that is regulated by a balance between the levels of endogenous angiogenic stimulators and matrix reloaded angiogenic regulators. Several non-collagenous carboxy terminal end domains in chains of type IV collagen matrix reloaded molecules selectively in...
متن کاملChanging Roles of Matrix Metalloproteases and Their Inhibitors, TIMPs, During Tumor Progression and Angiogenesis
Inhibition of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) has been shown in vivo to decrease metastasis and tumor-associated angiogenesis. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the role of these proteins at the pericellular microenvironment of tumor and endothelial cells. Secretion of MMPs by tumor cells enables the migration, invasion and metasta...
