A dominant-negative FGF1 mutant (the R50E mutant) suppresses tumorigenesis and angiogenesis. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF1) and FGF2 play a critical role in angiogenesis, a formation of new blood vessels from existing blood vessels. Integrins are critically involved in FGF signaling through crosstalk. We previously reported that FGF1 directly

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A induces endothelial hyperpermeability, but the molecular pathways remain incompletely understood. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) regulates acute effects of VEGF-A on permeability of endothelial cells (

Extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for all stages of angiogenesis. In the adult, angiogenesis begins with endothelial cell (EC) activation, degradation of vascular basement membrane, and vascular sprouting within interstitial matrix. During this sprouting phase, ECM binding to integrins provides critical signaling support for EC proliferation ...

New Insight on 2D In Vitro Angiogenesis Models: All That Stretches Is Not a Tube
A Matrigel-based tube formation assay is a simple and widely accepted 2D angiogenesis model in vitro. Extracellular matrix (EM) proteins and growth factors (GFs) from MatrigelTM exclusively trigger endothelial cell (EC) tubular network (ETN) formation ...

p53 expression as a prognostic marker in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide with a high mortality. Immunohistochemical overexpression of the p53 protein was correlated with a poor prognosis in various human malignancies, including HCC.

Local photoreceptor cell death differences in the murine model of retinal detachment
To investigate local cell death differences in the attached and detached retina at different regions in a murine experimental retinal detachment model. Subretinal injection of sodium hyaluronate was performed in eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial protein Opa1 curtails breast cancer growth
Background Mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins have been nominated as druggable targets in cancer. Whether their inhibition is efficacious in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) that almost invariably develops chemoresistance is unknown.

Cancer cell survival depends on collagen uptake into tumor-associated stroma
Collagen can be a metabolic source to fuel cancer growth. Here the authors show that cell surface protein TEM8 mediates the binding and uptake of collagen in stromal cells and these cells processed the collagen to glutamine, providing an alternative ...

Imatinib inhibits VEGF-independent angiogenesis by targeting neuropilin 1-dependent ABL1 activation in endothelial cells. [PDF]
To enable new blood vessel growth, endothelial cells (ECs) express neuropilin 1 (NRP1), and NRP1 associates with the receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR2 after binding the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) to enhance arteriogenesis.
