    A Phase 1 Trial of Trebananib, an Angiopoietin 1 and 2 Neutralizing Peptibody, Combined with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Advanced Ovarian and Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Res)
    After development of acquired resistance, biopsy of one patient's KRAS wild-type, ERBB2 amplified tumor showed a substantial decline in tumor-associated T cells and an increase in immunosuppressive intratumoral macrophages. Future studies are needed to carefully assess whether clinicogenomic features, such as lack of liver metastases, ERBB2 amplification, and left-sided tumors, can predict increased sensitivity to PD1 immunotherapy combinations.

    Platelet Angiopoietin-1 Protects Against Murine Models of Tumor Metastasis. (PubMed, Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol)
    Serum from Angpt1Plt KO mice increased endothelial permeability and reduced VE-cadherin expression at endothelial junctions compared with serum from control mice (Angpt1WT). Platelets provide an intravascular source of Angpt1 that restrains tumor metastasis by preserving the lung microvasculature to limit tumor cell extravasation.

    Differential expression of angiogenesis-related genes 'VEGF' and 'angiopoietin-1' in metastatic and EMAST-positive colorectal cancer patients. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
    Yet, the generalization of in silico findings to EMAST+ colorectal cancer warrants future experimental investigations. In the end, this study proposes that the EMAST biomarker could serve as an additional perspective on CMS4 biology which is well-defined by activated angiogenesis and worse overall survival.

    Angiopoietin-2 and the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Promote Migration and Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma- and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma-Derived Spheroids. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
    Inhibitors targeting ANG-2 (Trebananib) and the VEGF (Bevacizumab) effectively blocked the migration ability of spheroids that had been stimulated with rh-ANG-2 and rh-VEGF. Overall, our findings highlight the critical role played by ANG-2 and the VEGF in enhancing the ability of HCC- and iCCA-derived spheroids to migrate and invade, which are key processes in cancer progression.

    Intracellular angiopoietin-1 promotes TKI-resistance via activation of JAK/STAT5 pathway in chronic myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Oncogene)
    Silencing ANG-1significantly sensitized three TKI-resistant CML cell lines to imatinib (IM) while recombinant human ANG-1 failed to retain cell survival in vitro...Upstream Src phosphorylation, which plays a crucial role in CML drug resistance, was also upregulated as a key event in iANG-1-related JAK/STAT pathway activation. In conclusion, our study elucidated a new BCR-ABL independent molecular mechanism induced by intracytoplasmic ANG-1 overexpression as a potential strategy for overcoming CML resistance.

    Transplanted hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells alleviated small intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury via intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms in a rat model. (PubMed, Front Cell Dev Biol)
    HFMSCs are beneficial to alleviate small intestinal IR injury through intrinsic homing to the small intestine and by differentiating into ISCs, via a paracrine mechanism to promote angiogenesis, reduce apoptosis, regulate the oxidative stress response, and protect intestinal mucosal function potentially. Therefore, this study suggests that HFMSCs serve as a new option for the treatment of small intestinal IR injury.

    TIE2-high tumor cells induced an amplified expression of TIE2 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2) in HUVECs to promote angiogenesis via TIE2 -AKT/MAPK signals, which could be reversed or partially reversed by TIE2, AKT or MAPK inhibitors and activated by angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2. In conclusion, TIE2-high cervical cancer cells promote tumor angiogenesis by upregulating TIE2 and VEGFR2 in endothelial cells via TIE2-AKT/MAPK axis inside tumor cells.

    Molecular subtype to predict pathologic complete response in HER2-positive breast cancer in the I-SPY2 trial. (ASCO 2022)
    P2 | "The I-SPY2 platform trial tests novel agents given neoadjuvantly with a backbone of taxol (T) and trastuzumab (H) followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. Agents investigated in HER2+ bc were TH (control), MK2206, AMG386, pertuzumab (P), neratinib (N (given in place of H), and TDM1+P (given in place of TH)... pCR rates for patients with HER2+ bc treated with investigational agents, particularly dual HER2-blockade, were promising. Molecular response predictive subtype classification provides insight on how to better target therapy. The HER2+/Luminal group had low pCR rates with dual HER2-blockade but may have higher pCR rate with the addition of an AKT inhibitor and identifies a subgroup of HER2+ tumors in need of novel approaches."

    Pan-cancer-specific engineered oncolytic vaccinia virus (AACR 2022)
    Meanwhile, treatment with the conventional anti-cancer drug cisplatin did not induce apoptosis. A virus-treated mouse colon/lung cancer syngeneic model showed attenuated tumor growth, which was in accordance with the results of percent survival measurement, CD8 expression analysis, and TUNEL staining with advanced genetic engineering. Taken together, our results indicate that NOV induces cancer tissue apoptosis and anti-tumor immunity and may constitute a highly advantageous therapeutic agent for next-generation solid tumor virotherapy with pan-cancer-specific oncolytic activity and high biosafety.

    RNA-binding protein SAMD4A inhibits breast tumor angiogenesis by modulating the balance of angiogenesis program. (PubMed, Cancer Sci)
    Mechanistically, SAMD4A was found to specifically destabilize the proangiogenic gene transcripts, including C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5), endoglin (ENG), interleukin 1β (IL1β), and angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1), by directly interacting with the stem-loop structure in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of these mRNAs through its Sterile Alpha Motif (SAM) domain, resulting in the imbalance of angiogenic genes expression. Collectively, our results suggest that SAMD4A is a novel breast tumor suppressor that inhibits tumor angiogenesis by specifically downregulating the expression of proangiogenic genes, which might be a potential anti-angiogenic target for breast cancer therapy.

The study provides a novel exosome-mediated mechanism potentially favoring cervical angiogenesis and thus identifies the exosomes as potential pharmacological targets against locally-advanced metastatic cervical lesions.

    By in vitro gain-of-function experiments, we found that HCC cells secreted exosomal miR-3682-3p, which negatively regulates angiopoietin-1 (ANGPT1), and this led to inhibition of RAS-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signaling in endothelial cells and eventually impaired angiogenesis. Our study elucidates that exosomal miR-3682-3p attenuates angiogenesis by targeting ANGPT1 through RAS-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signaling and provides novel potential targets for liver cancer therapy.

    Although bevacizumab (Bev) is a widely used anti-angiogenic agent for EOC, the efficacy of Bev and the role of IL-6 in modulating angiogenesis in OCCC are unknown. We performed tube formation assays using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cultured in OCCC cell-conditioned medium and using cells directly co-cultured with OCCC cells...Finally, depletion of Ang1 abrogated the effects of IL-6 inhibition on Bev activity, demonstrating that IL-6 supports the anti-angiogenic activity of Bev by suppressing Ang1 expression and promoting dependence on VEGF for angiogenesis. Altogether, our data suggest that OCCC tumors with high IL-6 levels are candidates for Bev therapy.

    Elevated Secretion of Aldosterone Increases TG/HDL-C Ratio and Potentiates The Ox-LDL-Induced Dysfunction of HUVEC. (PubMed, Cell J)
    Elevated Aldo with high Ox-LDL together may accelerate the dysfunction of HUVEC, and the Ox-LDL, especially for those patients with high Aldo should be well controlled. The assessment of the role of Aldo may provide a theoretical basis for the effective prevention and investigation of a new treatment of AS.
