Targeting tumor endothelial marker 8 in the tumor vasculature of colorectal carcinomas in mice.
Tumor endothelial marker 8 (TEM8) is a recently described protein that is preferentially expressed within tumor endothelium. We have developed a fusion protein that targets TEM8 and disrupts tumor vasculature by promoting localized thrombosis. Fusion protein specificity and function were evaluated using Western blot analysis, ELISA, and enzymatic assays. A xenograft model of colorectal carcinom...
متن کاملTumor endothelial marker 1-specific DNA vaccination targets tumor vasculature.
Tumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1; also known as endosialin or CD248) is a protein found on tumor vasculature and in tumor stroma. Here, we tested whether TEM1 has potential as a therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy by immunizing immunocompetent mice with Tem1 cDNA fused to the minimal domain of the C fragment of tetanus toxoid (referred to herein as Tem1-TT vaccine). Tem1-TT vaccination ...
متن کاملExpression pattern of tumor endothelial marker 8 protein in gallbladder carcinomas.
Tumor endothelial marker 8 protein (TEM8) is highly specific to tumor angiogenesis and is not required for normal adult angiogenesis and hence might prove to be a target for anti-angiogenic therapies in the future. We here evaluated protein and gene expression patterns in human endothelial cells of benign gallbladder - gallstone diseases (GSDs) and gallbladder carcinomas (GBCs) using immunostai...
متن کاملTumor budding in colorectal carcinomas.
OBJECTIVE In colorectal carcinomas, tumor budding has been defined as the presence of isolated single tumor cells or small cell clusters in the stroma at the invasive tumor margin. In this study, the relationship between tumor budding density at the invasive tumor margin and pathological parameters is investigated. MATERIAL AND METHOD Haematoxylin and eosin stained slides of 73 cases with col...
متن کاملTumor infarction in mice by antibody-directed targeting of tissue factor to tumor vasculature.
Selective occlusion of tumor vasculature was tested as a therapy for solid tumors in a mouse model. The formation of blood clots (thrombosis) within the tumor vessels was initiated by targeting the cell surface domain of human tissue factor, by means of a bispecific antibody, to an experimentally induced marker on tumor vascular endothelial cells. This truncated form of tissue factor (tTF) had ...
