Toward Precision Medicine: Gene Therapy Applications in the Management of Uveal Melanoma
ABSTRACT Background Uveal melanoma (UM) is the prevailing malignant tumor that develops within the eye in adults, and it has a bleak outlook because of the few treatment choices available and the high likelihood of returning after treatment. Currently, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and a combination of both modalities are available ...

Genetic studies of collagen types XV and XVIII : Type XV collagen deficiency in mice results in skeletal myopathy and cardiovascular defects, while the homologous endostatin precursor type XVIII collagen is needed for normal development of the eye [PDF]
Overlapping genomic clones coding for the α1 chain of mouse type XV collagen (Col15a1) were isolated. The gene was found to be 110 kb in length and to contain 40 exons.

Unraveling the mysteries of endostatin [PDF]
AbstractEndostatin, a 20‐kDa C‐terminal proteolytic fragment of collagen XVIII, is a specific endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor discovered more than a decade. The structure, stability, and mechanism of actions of endostatin have been extensively investigated during the past 12 years, among which controversial reports remain unclarified.

Matrix and cell‐associated proteoglycans are important tissue‐stabilizing, weight‐bearing, and tension‐resisting proteins in the intervertebral disc. Their glycosaminoglycan components have growth factor binding and cell‐instructive properties that allow cells to regulate tissue composition and function.

Linking Antibody Fc Domain to Endostatin Significantly Improves Endostatin Half-life and Efficacy [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: The half-life of the antiangiogenic molecule endostatin that has been used in clinical trial is short (∼2 h). In addition, ∼50% of the clinical grade endostatin molecules lack four amino acids at their NH2 termini. Lack of these amino acids gives rise to a molecule that is devoid of zinc, resulting in no antitumor ...

In this report, we present a case of a 30‐year‐old female who initially presented with recurrent hemoptysis and multiple pulmonary nodules with exudative changes in the lung, pathologically resembling granulomatous lesions and eventually confirmed as primary cardiac angiosarcoma with pulmonary metastasis.

CD8+ T Cells Negatively Modulate Ischemia‐Induced Angiogenesis in Mice
Graphical illustration of the mechanism of CD8+ T‐cells/IFN‐γ axis‐mediated angiogenesis in response to ischemic stress. CD8+ T‐cell functions as an important mediator of ischemia‐induced angiogenesis via the modulation of inflammation, oxidative stress, proteolysis, and endothelial proliferation that might be mediated by the IFN‐γ/NLRp3‐caspase‐1 and ...

Cardiovascular Safety of VIAN‐c4551, an Antiangiogenic Peptide Derived From Vasoinhibin
ABSTRACT Vasoinhibin is a potent antiangiogenic protein that blocks the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in response to vascular endothelial growth factor, bradykinin, and acetylcholine (ACh). In this regard, VIAN‐c4551, a new synthetic vasoinhibin analog, has therapeutic potential for targeting angiogenesis in oncology and ...
