Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle. (From Escourolle et al., Manual of Basic Neuropathology, 2nd ed, p21)
Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
Techniques and strategies which include the use of coding sequences and other conventional or radical means to transform or modify cells for the purpose of treating or reversing disease conditions.
A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.

Angiostatin binds ATP synthase on the surface of human endothelial cells. (1/210)

Angiostatin, a proteolytic fragment of plasminogen, is a potent antagonist of angiogenesis and an inhibitor of endothelial cell migration and proliferation. To determine whether the mechanism by which angiostatin inhibits endothelial cell migration and/or proliferation involves binding to cell surface plasminogen receptors, we isolated the binding proteins for plasminogen and angiostatin from human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Binding studies demonstrated that plasminogen and angiostatin bound in a concentration-dependent, saturable manner. Plasminogen binding was unaffected by a 100-fold molar excess of angiostatin, indicating the presence of a distinct angiostatin binding site. This finding was confirmed by ligand blot analysis of isolated human umbilical vein endothelial cell plasma membrane fractions, which demonstrated that plasminogen bound to a 44-kDa protein, whereas angiostatin bound to a 55-kDa species. Amino-terminal sequencing coupled with peptide mass fingerprinting and immunologic analyses identified the plasminogen binding protein as annexin II and the angiostatin binding protein as the alpha/beta-subunits of ATP synthase. The presence of this protein on the cell surface was confirmed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis. Angiostatin also bound to the recombinant alpha-subunit of human ATP synthase, and this binding was not inhibited by a 2,500-fold molar excess of plasminogen. Angiostatin's antiproliferative effect on endothelial cells was inhibited by as much as 90% in the presence of anti-alpha-subunit ATP synthase antibody. Binding of angiostatin to the alpha/beta-subunits of ATP synthase on the cell surface may mediate its antiangiogenic effects and the down-regulation of endothelial cell proliferation and migration.  (+info)

Angiostatin formation involves disulfide bond reduction and proteolysis in kringle 5 of plasmin. (2/210)

Plasmin is processed in the conditioned medium of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells producing fragments with the domain structures of the angiogenesis inhibitor, angiostatin, and microplasmin. Angiostatin consists of kringle domains 1-4 and part of kringle 5, while microplasmin consists of the remainder of kringle 5 and the serine proteinase domain. Our findings indicate that formation of angiostatin/microplasmin involves reduction of plasmin by a plasmin reductase followed by proteolysis of the reduced enzyme. We present evidence that the Cys461-Cys540 and Cys511-Cys535 disulfide bonds in kringle 5 of plasmin were reduced by plasmin reductase. Plasmin reductase activity was secreted by HT1080 and Chinese hamster ovary cells and the human mammary carcinoma cell lines MCF-7, MDA231, and BT20 but not by the monocyte/macrophage cell line THP-1. Neither primary foreskin fibroblasts, blood monocyte/macrophages, nor macrovascular or microvascular endothelial cells secreted detectable plasmin reductase. In contrast, cultured bovine and rat vascular smooth muscle cells secreted small but reproducible levels of plasmin reductase. Reduction of the kringle 5 disulfide bonds triggered cleavage at either Arg529-Lys530 or two other positions C-terminal of Cys461 in kringle 5 by a serine proteinase. Plasmin autoproteolysis could account for the cleavage, although another proteinase was mostly responsible in HT1080 conditioned medium. Three serine proteinases with apparent Mr of 70, 50, and 39 were purified from HT1080 conditioned medium, one or more of which could contribute to proteolysis of reduced plasmin.  (+info)

Effects of angiogenesis inhibitors on multistage carcinogenesis in mice. (3/210)

Solid tumors depend on angiogenesis for their growth. In a transgenic mouse model of pancreatic islet cell carcinogenesis (RIP1-Tag2), an angiogenic switch occurs in premalignant lesions, and angiogenesis persists during progression to expansive solid tumors and invasive carcinomas. RIP1-Tag2 mice were treated so as to compare the effects of four angiogenesis inhibitors at three distinct stages of disease progression. AGM-1470, angiostatin, BB-94, and endostatin each produced distinct efficacy profiles in trials aimed at preventing the angiogenic switch in premalignant lesions, intervening in the rapid expansion of small tumors, or inducing the regression of large end-stage cancers. Thus, anti-angiogenic drugs may prove most efficacious when they are targeted to specific stages of cancer.  (+info)

Systemic gene delivery expands the repertoire of effective antiangiogenic agents. (4/210)

Cationic liposome-DNA complex (CLDC)-based intravenous gene delivery targets gene expression to vascular endothelial cells, macrophages and tumor cells. We used systemic gene delivery to identify anti-angiogenic gene products effective against metastatic spread in tumor-bearing mice. Specifically, CLDC-based intravenous delivery of the p53 and GM-CSF genes were each as effective as the potent antiangiogenic gene, angiostatin, in reducing both tumor metastasis and tumor angiogenesis. Combined delivery of these genes did not increase anti-tumor activity, further suggesting that each gene appeared to produce its antimetastatic activity through a common antiangiogenic pathway. CLDC-based intravenous delivery of the human wild type p53 gene transfected up to 80% of tumor cells metastatic to lung. Furthermore, it specifically induced the expression of the potent antiangiogenic gene, thrombospondin-1, indicating that p53 gene delivery in vivo may inhibit angiogenesis by inducing endogenous thrombospondin-1 expression. CLDC-based delivery also identified a novel anti-tumor activity for the metastasis suppressor gene CC3. Thus, CLDC-based intravenous gene delivery can produce systemic antiangiogenic gene therapy using a variety of different genes and may be used to assess potential synergy of combined anti-tumor gene delivery and to identify novel activities for existing anti-tumor genes.  (+info)

Angiostatin inhibits endothelial and melanoma cellular invasion by blocking matrix-enhanced plasminogen activation. (5/210)

Angiostatin, a kringle-containing fragment of plasminogen, is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. The mechanism(s) responsible for the anti-angiogenic properties of angiostatin are unknown. We now report that human angiostatin blocks plasmin(ogen)-enhanced in vitro invasion of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)-producing endothelial and melanoma cells. Kinetic analyses demonstrated that angiostatin functions as a non-competitive inhibitor of extracellular-matrix (ECM)-enhanced, t-PA-catalysed plasminogen activation, with a Ki of 0.9+/-0.03 microM. This mechanism suggests that t-PA has a binding site for the inhibitor angiostatin, as well as for its substrate plasminogen that, when occupied, prevents ternary complex formation between t-PA, plasminogen and matrix protein. Direct binding experiments confirmed that angiostatin bound to t-PA with an apparent Kd [Kd(app)] of 6.7+/-0.7 nM, but did not bind with high affinity to ECM proteins. Together, these data suggest that angiostatin in the cellular micro-environment can inhibit matrix-enhanced plasminogen activation, resulting in reduced invasive activity, and suggest a biochemical mechanism whereby angiostatin-mediated regulation of plasmin formation could influence cellular migration and invasion.  (+info)

Suppression of angiogenesis and tumor growth by the inhibitor K1-5 generated by plasmin-mediated proteolysis. (6/210)

Proteolytic enzymes are involved in generation of a number of endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors. Previously, we reported that angiostatin, a potent angiogenesis inhibitor, is a proteolytic fragment containing the first four kringle modules of plasminogen. In this report, we demonstrate that urokinase-activated plasmin can process plasminogen to release an angiogenesis inhibitor, K1-5 (protease-activated kringles 1-5). K1-5 inhibits endothelial-cell proliferation with a half-maximal concentration of approximately 50 pM. This inhibitory effect is endothelial-cell-specific and appears to be at least approximately 50-fold greater than that of angiostatin. A synergistic efficacy of endothelial inhibition was observed when angiostatin and kringle 5 (K5) were coincubated with capillary endothelial cells. The synergistic effect is comparable to that produced by K1-5 alone. Systemic treatment of mice with K1-5 at a low dose significantly blocked the fibroblast growth factor-induced corneal neovascularization, whereas angiostatin had no effect at the same dose. K1-5 also suppressed angiogenesis in chicken embryos. Systemic administration of K1-5 at a low dose at which angiostatin was ineffective significantly suppressed the growth of a murine T241 fibrosarcoma in mice. The antitumor effect correlates with the reduced neovascularization. These findings suggest that the plasmin-mediated proteolysis may be involved in the negative switch of angiogenesis.  (+info)

Therapeutic potentials of angiostatin in the treatment of cancer. (7/210)

The discovery of specific endothelial inhibitors such as angiostatin and endostatin not only increases our understanding of the functions of these molecules in the regulation of physiological and pathological angiogenesis, but also provides an important therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated that the angiostatin protein significantly suppresses the growth of a variety of tumors in mice. However, the dosages of angiostatin protein used in these animal studies seem to be too high for clinical trials. In addition, repeated injections and long-term treatment with angiostatin are required to reach its maximal antitumor effect. In this article, I will discuss several alternative approaches that may become feasible to move angiostatin therapy from animal experiments into the clinic. In particular, I will emphasize the therapeutic potentials of angiostatin gene therapy and more potent angiogenesis inhibitors that are related to angiostatin.  (+info)

Liposomes complexed to plasmids encoding angiostatin and endostatin inhibit breast cancer in nude mice. (8/210)

Gene therapy transfer of angiostatin and endostatin represents an alternative method of delivering angiogenic polypeptide inhibitors. We examined whether liposomes complexed to plasmids encoding angiostatin or endostatin inhibited angiogenesis and the growth of MDA-MB-435 tumors implanted in the mammary fat pads of nude mice. We determined that plasmids expressing angiostatin (PCI-Angio) or endostatin (PCI-Endo) effectively reduced angiogenesis using an in vivo Matrigel assay. We then investigated the efficacy of these plasmids in reducing the size of tumors implanted in the mammary fat pad of nude mice. Both PCI-Angio and PCI-Endo significantly reduced tumor size when injected intratumorally (P < 0.05). Compared to the untreated control group, the mice treated with PCI-Angio and PCI-Endo exhibited a reduction in tumor size of 36% and 49%, respectively. In addition, we found that i.v. injections of liposomes complexed to PCI-Endo reduced tumor growth in the nude mice by nearly 40% when compared to either empty vector (PCI) or untreated controls (P < 0.05). These findings provide a basis for the further development of nonviral delivery of antiangiogenic genes.  (+info)

In this study, we demonstrated that both the angiogenic factor VEGF and antiangiogenic factors endostatin and angiostatin were significantly increased in the rat colon with experimental UC. The increased levels of endostatin and angiostatin were reversed significantly (75-95%) by 5-ASA treatment, whereas 5-ASA treatment did not change VEGF expression. Because 5-ASA could inhibit angiogenesis through up-regulating expression of PPAR-γ, which is a downstream inhibitor of VEGF-induced angiogenesis (Murata et al., 2000), it was not surprising that the levels of VEGF did not change. It is possible that increased VEGF and simultaneously up-regulated endostatin and angiostatin contribute to pathologic angiogenesis. This study indicates that the effectiveness of 5-ASA on UC healing may be directly related to down-regulation of the antiangiogenic factors endostatin and angiostatin in UC.. Because angiostatin and endostatin could be generated by MMP2 and MMP9 through cleavage of collagen XVIII and ...
Nucleic acid sequences encoding kringle region fragments of plasminogen. Ribonucleic and deoxyribonucleic acid sequences that encode for kringle region fragments are useful for gene therapy or recombinant expression for the treatment of angiogenesis-related diseases, specifically angiogenesis-dependent cancer.
Approach and Results-Rats underwent transient, repetitive left anterior descending occlusion (resultant myocardial ischemia [RI]) for 0 to 10 days. CCG was measured in the collateral-dependent and normal zones using microspheres, MMP activation by Western blot, and endostatin and angiostatin by ELISA on days 0, 3, 6, 9, or 10 of RI. Endostatin and angiostatin were increased in JCR but not in Sprague Dawley rats on days 6 and 9 of RI. Increased endostatin and angiostatin correlated with increased MMP12 (≈4-fold) activation in JCR but not in Sprague Dawley rats on days 6 and 9 of RI. Inhibition of MMP12 in JCR rats nearly completely blocked endostatin (≈85%) and angiostatin (≈90%) generation and significantly improved CCG (collateral-dependent zone flow was ≈66% of normal zone flow versus ≈12% for JCR RI).. ...
Exposure to hypoxia leads to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a consequence of pulmonary smooth mus-cle hyperplasia. Hypoxia concomitantly stimulates lung expres-sion of angiogenic factors. To investigate the role of angiogenesis processes in development of hypoxic PH, we examined the effects of lung overexpression of angiostatin, an angiogenesis inhibitor, on development of hypoxic PH and lung endothelial cell (EC) density. Angiostatin delivery was achieved by a defective adeno-virus expressing a secretable angiostatin K3 molcule driven by the cytomegalovirus promoter (Ad.K3). Comparison was made with a control vector containing no gene in the expression cassette (Ad.CO1). Treatment with Ad.K3 (300 plaque-forming units [pfu]/cell) inhibited cultured human pulmonary artery EC migration by 100% and proliferation by 50%, but was without effects on human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. After intratracheal administration of Ad.K3 (10 9 pfu) to mice, angios-tatin protein became

The angiogenic switch, a rate-limiting step in tumor progression, has already occurred by the time most human tumors are detectable. The angiogenic switch is not limited at earliest stages, but occurs also at different stages of tumor progression (2). Antiangiogenic therapy is a promising alternative for treatment of cancer, and may also be used as a maintenance therapy to prevent the metastasis or recurrence (4). Therapy with endogenous angiogenic inhibitors such as endostatin and angiostatin may reverse the angiogenic switch by preventing growth of tumor vasculature. Angiostatin can maintain metastases in a dormant state in laboratory animals when administered exogenously (34). In transgenic mice overexpressing endostatin, a small increase of circulating endostatin (approximately 1.6-fold) is sufficient to confer dramatic protection against tumor growth (11). In individuals with Down syndrome, a similar small increase of circulating endostatin is associated with a remarkably low incidence of ...

The present study demonstrated the validity and superiority of CD105 as a marker of angiogenesis in NSCLC; the CD105-IMVD was more closely correlated with the expression of VEGF than the CD34-IMVD. Kumar et al. (11 , 13 , 15, 16, 17, 18) and others have demonstrated that anti-CD105 antibodies preferentially react with activated ECs in tissues participating in angiogenesis, such as tumor tissues, and that antibodies against pan-ECs, such as anti-CD34 antibodies, react with normal vessels, as well as activated vessels. According to the hypothesis, we tried to define the CD34-IMVD-CD105-IMVD as the baseline IMVD. As a result, the baseline IMVD proved not at all to be correlated with VEGF expression, suggesting the baseline IMVD was not a measurement of angiogenesis but a measurement of vessels just trapped within tumor tissues. Of course, it should be noted that angiogenesis is not influenced only by VEGF but also other angiogenic factors and antiangiogenic factors, such as angiostatin. Comparative ...

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a sulfhydryl donor antioxidant that contributes to the regeneration of glutathione (GSH) and also scavengers via a direct reaction with free oxygen radicals. Recently, we observed a modulatory role of NAC on GSH-depleted dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells in rats. NAC may have a protective role on oxidative stress and calcium influx through regulation of the TRPM2 channel in diabetic neurons. Therefore, we investigated the effects of NAC on DRG TRPM2 channel currents and brain oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Thirty-six rats divided into four groups: control, STZ, NAC and STZ + NAC. Diabetes was induced in the STZ and STZ + NAC groups by intraperitoneal STZ (65 mg/kg) administration. After the induction of diabetes, rats in the NAC and STZ + NAC groups received NAC (150 mg/kg) via gastric gavage. After 2 weeks, DRG neurons and the brain cortex were freshly isolated from rats. In whole-cell patch clamp experiments, TRPM2 currents in the DRG ...

Castration experiments in rodents show that the stromal vasculature is critical to the androgen-mediated prostate growth regulation. However, the role of angiogenesis inhibitors, such as thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), in this process is unclear. TSP-1 is a multifunctional glycoprotein that can function as a potent angiogenesis inhibitor and an in vivo activator of latent transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in some tissues. On the basis of these observations, we hypothesized that TSP-1 regulated androgen withdrawal-induced prostate regression and that this process was mediated not only through antiangiogenic activity but also through TGF-beta activation. To test this, we evaluated angiogenic activity in human prostate epithelial and stromal cells treated with androgens and hypoxia in vitro. TSP-1 knockout mice were characterized to investigate the in vivo functions of TSP-1. In vitro, we found that androgens and hypoxia differentially regulated TSP-1 and angiogenic activity. Androgens ...
These studies demonstrate for the first time that MMPs cleave PRL to generate antiangiogenic 16K-PRL. 16K-PRL blocks a variety of endothelial cell functions (Corbacho et al., 2002; Gonzalez et al., 2004; Lee et al., 2005) and inhibits angiogenesis in ocular tissues (Dueñas et al., 1999; Pan et al., 2004; Aranda et al., 2005) and in tumors (Bentzien et al., 2001; Kim et al., 2003). The specific enzymes responsible for generating 16K-PRL are largely unknown. MMPs cleave various proteins to release their bioactive forms, including the antiangiogenic fragments angiostatin (Patterson and Sang, 1997; Lijnen et al., 1998; OReilly et al., 1999) and endostatin (Lin et al., 2001). Considering that the release of antiangiogenic fragments occurs in avascular tissues such as cartilage (Pufe et al., 2004), we focused on whether chondrocyte MMPs could process PRL to 16K-PRL.. We demonstrate that MMPs produced and secreted by chondrocytes cleave PRL to generate biologically active 16K-PRL. Cleavage occurs at ...

Until now, in trials it is common to stop therapy when progressive disease occurs; RECIST criteria are used, in which progressive disease is defined as ,20% increase of the sum of the longest diameter of the lesions, or occurence of new lesions. However, angiogenesis inhibitors have a rather cytostatic than cytotoxic effect compared to chemotherapeutics, as a result of which less frequently reduction of tumor volume is being seen.. Often in the centre of the lesion necrosis is shown. Sometimes accompanied with edema; so even tumor volume increase can be the result without real progression being the case. Recently, in our clinic, we found a number of patients, treated with oral angiogenesis inhibitors, a remarkable quickening of progressive disease and complaints after stopping this treatment. Reintroduction of the same or another type of angiogenesis inhibitor subsequently lead to a new stabilization. The causality of this phenomenon is unknown. Perhaps that the inhibitory effect of the ...
The Hippo-Yap signaling pathway regulates a number of developmental and adult cellular processes, including cell fate determination, tissue growth, and tumorigenesis. Members of the scaffold protein angiomotin (Amot) family interact with several Hippo pathway components, including Yap (Yes-associated protein), and either stimulate or inhibit Yap activity. We used a combination of genetic, biochemical, and transcriptional approaches to assess the functional consequences of the Amot-Yap interaction in mice and in human cells. Mice with a liver-specific Amot knockout exhibited reduced hepatic oval cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in response to toxin-induced injury or when crossed with mice lacking the tumor suppressor Nf2. Biochemical examination of the Amot-Yap interaction revealed that the p130 splicing isoform of Amot (Amot-p130) and Yap interacted in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, which involved binding of PPxY and LPxY motifs in Amot-p130 to WW domains of Yap. In the cytoplasm, ...
