Here, we develop a smart DNA-based nanodrug, termed Endo-rDFN, by precisely assembling the antiangiogenic agent, endostar (Endo), into a reconfigurable DNA framework nanotube (rDFN) that could recognize tumor-overexpressed nucleolin to achieve the targeted delivery and controllable release of Endo. Endo-rDFN can not only effectively enhance the tumor-targeting capability of Endo and maintain its efficient accumulation in tumor tissues but also achieve on-demand release of Endo at tumor sites via the specific DNA aptamer for tumor-overexpressed nucleolin, named AS1411. We also found that Endo-rDFN exhibited significant inhibition of angiogenesis and tumor growth, while also providing effective protection against multiorgan injury (heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lung, etc.) to some extent, without compromising the function of these organs. Our study demonstrates that rDFN represents a promising vector for reducing antiangiogenic therapy-induced multiorgan injury, highlighting its potential for promoting the clinical application of antiangiogenic agents.

The ongoing ENPOWER study exploring the efficacy and safety of the recombinant human endostatin (endostar) combined with programmed cell death 1 antibody sintilimab and chemotherapy showed encouraging efficacy and safety in advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. No antiangiogenesis-related adverse events were observed. The current study showed that EIC was potentially effective for patients with NSCLCnm, especially when used as first-line therapy, and well tolerated.

This prospective study showed that Envafolimab combined with Endostar has promising efficacy and good tolerability in advanced NSCLC with PD-L11%. This combination provided a new choice and a prospective study in furture was expected.

Our findings suggest that no statistical significance between above vascular targeting regimens. Pathological type of lung cancer may affect the effect of bevacizumab intracavity infusion plus chemotherapy. The influence of different administration routes of vascular targeting drugs on efficacy remains to be investigated. There are some concerns with the quality of the studies, and some limitations should be considered when interpreting these results, which includes limited geographical region and sample size of studies. Despite these limitations, this study may inform vascular targeting therapy choice in such a patient population.

Interestingly, Rh-endostatin-induced cardiotoxicity was inhibited by dihydromyricetin (DHM) both in cultured cells in vitro and in mouse hearts in vivo. The study provides new inside into rh-endostatin-induced cardiotoxicity and identified a novel potential medication DHM to overcome the serious adverse effect.

For newly diagnosed BMs, adding chemotherapy, EGFR-TKIs, and other innovative systemic agents (temozolomide, nitroglycerin, endostar, enzastaurin, and veliparib) to radiotherapy did not significantly prolong OS than radiotherapy alone; whereas radiotherapy + nitroglycerin showed significantly better CNS-PFS and ORR...For previously treated BMs, pembrolizumab + chemotherapy, nivolumab + ipilimumab, and cemiplimab significantly prolonged OS than chemotherapy alone...The value of surgery should also be emphasized. The result should be further confirmed by RCTs.

These indicate that rES-CSP may play a role in inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis by down-regulating the angiogenic factor VEGF and the metastasis-related molecules or by interfering with HSPGs-mediated tumor metastasis.

As compared with the control group, EH/TCLN treatment led to significantly reduced tumor angiogenesis and expression of tumor microenvironment-related cytokines (TMCs), increased proportion of CD8 T cells in the spleen, lymph node and tumor, elevated activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and tumor cell apoptosis. The present study demonstrated that the EH/TCLN treatment effectively created a favorable immune microenvironment for the induction of antitumor immunity and improved antitumor immune responses.

The trastuzumab biosimilar drug HLX02 exhibited good treatment efficacy in HER2-positive gastric cancer, especially when combined with Endostar. IVIM-DWI can noninvasively monitor the process of vascular normalization and reflect the treatment effect early at the molecular level.

Our findings provide experimental evidence and a theoretical basis for the application of Endostar in combination with irradiation for anti-cervical cancer treatment.

The combination of PD-1 and Endostar suppressed brain metastases of NSCLC.

Tumor angiogenesis inhibitors such as Bevacizumab, Ramucirumab and Endostar have been applied to the therapy of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients, especially for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD)...Moreover, apigenein showed perfect anti-angiogenic effect in xengraft model of LUSC cell NCI-H1703 cells, indicating it may be developed into a potential angiogenesis inhibitor for LUSC patient. Collectively, our study provides new insights into the anti-tumor mechanism of apigenin and suggests that apigenin is a safe and effective angiogenesis inhibitor for NSCLC therapy.

ALK fusion is a risk factor for brain metastasis (BM) in patients with advanced non-small NSCLC patients. In our case, a novel CLHC1/RNT4 intergenic region, ALK fusion, was identified for the first time in a lung adenocarcinoma patient with BM, who benefited from crizotinib and endostar sequential alectinib. Our case highlights the advantages of NGS for fusion detection and provides promising treatment options for NSCLC patients with BM harboring ALK fusions.

This study is first to assess nivolumab plus rh-endostatin in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. In view of its favorable efficacy and safety profile, this combination represents a promising treatment regimen in this patient population.

Collectively, these results demonstrate that EnDuo exhibits a comparable anti-metastatic effect by suppressing the migration of colon cancer cells. Possibly, EnDuo interrupts the PI3K/AKT/ERK signaling pathway to arrest cell migration. Our study provides a novel insight to the potential clinical applications of EnDuo against colon cancers in the future.

An appropriate amount of anti-angiogenic agents can reconstruct tumor blood vessels in a short period of time and form vascular homeostasis, increase the function of blood vessel perfusion and reverse the multidrug resistance of chemotherapy, which is also called "vascular normalization."

Furthermore, ES reduced the expression of PD-L1 and suppressed the phosphorylation of STAT3 in ovarian cancer cell lines. ES blocked the metastasis, invasion and angiogenesis of ovarian cancer cells by suppressing the activation of PD-L1 and STAT3, which might be considered as the potential mechanism of ES in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
