Safety and Efficacy Study of Famitinib in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Adenocarcinoma（FACT）

ABSTRACT: Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3, whose anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis effects have been validated in preclinical tests. In PhaseⅡb study, a significantly improved Progression Free Survival (PFS) was found in patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with Famitinib compared to placebo. On the other hand, the toxicity of Famitinib was manageable in both PhaseⅠand Ⅱb studies. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Famitinib can improve Overall Survival (OS) compared with placebo in total 540 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have failed in previously received at least two lines of standard chemotherapy.

miRNA analysis of HBMVECs exposed or unexposed to U87 glioma cells

Project description:A key step in angiogenesis is the upregulation of growth factor receptors on endothelial cells. Here we demonstrate that a small regulatory microRNA, miR-296 has a major role in this process. Glioma cells and angiogenic growth factors elevate the level of miR-296 in primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells in culture. The miR-296 level is also elevated in primary tumor endothelial cells isolated from human brain tumors compared to normal brain endothelial cells. Growth factor-induced miR-296 contributes significantly to angiogenesis by directly targeting the hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HGS) mRNA, leading to decreased levels of HGS and thereby reducing HGS-mediated degradation of the growth factor receptors VEGFR2 and PDGFR-Î². Furthermore, inhibition of miR-296 with antagomirs reduces angiogenesis in tumor xenografts in vivo.

GLUTAMINE METABOLISM VIA TRANSAMINATION REGULATES VEGFR2 TRANSLATION DURING ANGIOGENESIS

Project description:Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, is a complex and demanding biological process that plays an important role in physiological as well as pathological settings such as cancer and ischemia. Given its critical role, the regulation of endothelial growth factor receptor (e.g. VEGFR2, FGFR1) represents important mechanisms for the control of angiogenesis. Recent evidences support cell metabolism as a critical regulator of angiogenesis. However, it is unknown how glutamine metabolism regulates growth factor receptor expression. Here, by using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we show that glutaminolysis and glutamate-dependent transaminases (TAs) support alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) levels and are critical regulators of angiogenic response during pathological conditions. Indeed, the endothelial specific blockage of GLS1 impairs ischemic and tumor angiogenesis by suppressing VEGFR2 translation via mTORC1-dependent pathway. Lastly, we discover that ECs catabolized the glutamine-derived glutamate via phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) as crucial to support VEGFR2 translation. These findings identify glutamine anaplerosis and TA activity as a critical regulator of growth factor receptor translation in normal and pathological angiogenesis. We anticipate our studies to be a starting point for novel anti-angiogenesis approaches based on GLS1/PSAT1 inhibitor treatments to overcome anti-VEGF therapies resistance.

High-Throughput Screening of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Cardiotoxicity using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), despite efficacy as anti-cancer therapies, are associated with cardiovascular side effects ranging from induced arrhythmias to heart failure. We have utilized patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), generated from 11 healthy individuals and 2 patients receiving cancer treatment, to screen FDA-approved TKIs for cardiotoxicities by measuring alterations in cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, electrophysiology, calcium handling, and signaling. With these data, we generated a “cardiac safety index” to assess cardiotoxicities of existing TKIs. Many TKIs with a low cardiac safety index exhibit cardiotoxicity in patients. We also derived endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs) and cardiac fibroblasts (hiPSC-CFs) to examine cell type-specific cardiotoxicities. Using high-throughput screening, we determined that VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs caused cardiotoxicity in hiPSC-CMs, hiPSC-ECs, and hiPSC-CFs. Using phosphoprotein analysis, we determined that VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs led to a compensatory increase in cardioprotective insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling in hiPSC-CMs. Activating cardioprotective signaling with exogenous insulin or IGF1 improved hiPSC-CM viability during co-treatment with cardiotoxic VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs. Thus, hiPSC-CMs can be used to screen for cardiovascular toxicities associated with anti-cancer TKIs, correlating with clinical phenotypes. This approach provides unexpected insights, as illustrated by our finding that toxicity can be alleviated via cardioprotective insulin/IGF signaling.

Transcription profiling of mouse adipose tissue exposed to cold

Project description:Cold triggers VEGF dependent but hypoxia independent angiogenesis in adipose tissues and anti-VEGF agents modulate adipose metabolism; The molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis in relation to adipose tissue metabolism remain poorly understood. Here we show that exposure of mice to cold led to conversion of white adipose tissue (WAT) to brown-like adipose tissue, accompanying the switch of an active angiogenic phenotype. Gene expression profile analysis showed VEGF was upregulated via most likely hypoxia-independent PGC-1 transcriptional activation. Intriguingly, VEGFR2 blockage abolished the cold-induced angiogenesis, significantly impaired nonshivering thermogenesis capacity, and markedly reduced adipose metabolism. Unexpectedly, VEGFR1 blockage resulted in opposite effects by increasing adipose vascularity and metabolism. These findings demonstrate that VEGFR2 and VEGFR1 mediate polarized activities in modulating adipose angiogenesis and metabolism. Taken together, our findings have conceptual implications in applying angiogenesis modulators for the treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders. Experiment Overall Design: Mice were exposed to cold and white addipose tissue was collected at different time points

Slit2 modifies VEGF-induced angiogenic responses in rabbit skeletal muscle by inducing capillary sprouting and decreasing vascular permeability via reduced eNOS activity

Project description:Rationale: Slit2 is a possible modulator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - induced angiogenesis, but its effects have not been tested in large animal models. Objective: We studied the effect of Slit2 on therapeutic angiogenesis induced by VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) ligands Vammin and VEGF-DΔNΔC in vivo in rabbit skeletal muscles. The Slit2 target genes were also studied by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in endothelial cells. Methods and Results: Adenoviral intramuscular gene transfers were performed into rabbit hindlimbs. Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were used for blood vessel imaging. Signaling experiments and gene expression analyses were performed to study mechanisms of Slit2 action. Slit2 decreased VEGFR2-mediated vascular permeability. It also reduced VEGFR2-mediated increase in blood perfusion and capillary enlargement, whereas sprouting of the capillaries was increased. Slit2 gene transfer alone did not have any effects on vascular functions or morphology. VEGFR2 activation was not affected by Slit2, but eNOS phosphorylation was diminished. The transcriptome profiling showed Slit2 downregulating angiogenesis-related genes such as nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) and Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) as well as genes related to endothelial cell migration and vascular permeability. Conclusions: Combining Slit2 with VEGFs adjusts VEGFR2-mediated angiogenic effects into a more physiological direction. This possibly allows the use of higher VEGF vector doses to achieve a more widespread vector and VEGF distribution in the target tissues leading to a better therapeutic outcome while reducing excess vascular permeability.
