Tumor angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic therapy in malignant gliomas revisited [PDF]
, 2012 The cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis and its prospects for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy are major issues in almost all current concepts of both cancer biology and targeted cancer therapy. Currently, (1) sprouting angiogenesis, (2)

Context- and cell-dependent effects of Delta-like 4 targeting in the bone marrow microenvironment.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Delta-like 4 (Dll4) is a ligand of the Notch pathway family which has been widely studied in the context of tumor angiogenesis, its blockade shown to result in non-productive angiogenesis and halted tumor growth.

Incomplete Dll4/Notch signaling inhibition promotes functional angiogenesis supporting the growth of skin papillomas [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: In invasive malignancies, Dll4/Notch signaling inhibition enhances non-functional vessel proliferation and limits tumor growth by reducing its blood perfusion.

Dll4 Inhibition plus Aflibercept Markedly Reduces Ovarian Tumor Growth [PDF]
Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 2016 Abstract Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4), one of the Notch ligands, is overexpressed in ovarian cancer, especially in tumors resistant to anti-VEGF therapy. Here, we examined the biologic effects of dual anti-Dll4 and anti-VEGF therapy in ovarian cancer models.

A novel reporter allele for monitoring Dll4 expression within the embryonic and adult mouse
Biology Open, 2018 Canonical Notch signaling requires the presence of a membrane bound ligand and a corresponding transmembrane Notch receptor. Receptor engagement induces multiple proteolytic cleavage events culminating in the nuclear accumulation of the Notch ...

Anti-DLL4 Has Broad Spectrum Activity in Pancreatic Cancer Dependent on Targeting DLL4-Notch Signaling in Both Tumor and Vasculature Cells [PDF]
Clinical Cancer Research, 2012 Abstract Purpose: We previously showed that targeting Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4) in colon and breast tumors inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor initiating cell frequency. In this report, we have extended these studies to pancreatic cancer and probed the mechanism of action in tumor and stromal cells involved in antitumor efficacy.
