Fibroblasts associated with tumors refractory to anti-VEGF treatment

ABSTRACT: PDGF-C mediates the angiogenic and tumorigenic properties of fibroblasts associated with tumors refractory to anti-VEGF treatment Tumor associated fibroblasts (TAF) from different tumors exhibit distinct angiogenic and tumorigenic properties. Unlike normal skin fibroblasts (NSF) or TAF (TAF-TIB6) from TIB6 tumors that are sensitive to anti-VEGF treatment, TAF (TAF-EL4) from resistant EL4 tumors can stimulate TIB6 tumor growth even when VEGF is inhibited. We show that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-C is upregulated in TAFs from resistant tumors. PDGF-C neutralizing antibodies blocked the angiogenesis induced by such TAF in vivo and slowed the growth of EL4 and admixture (TAF-EL4 + TIB6) tumors and exhibited additive effects with anti-VEGF-A antibodies. Hence, our data reveal a novel mechanism for TAF mediated tumorigenesis and suggest that some tumors may overcome inhibition of VEGF-mediated angiogenesis through upregulation of PDGF-C

Loss of apelin blocks the emergence of sprouting angiogenesis in experimental tumors

Project description:Angiogenesis-inhibitor (AI) drugs targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signalling to the endothelial cell (EC) are used to treat various cancers types. However, primary or secondary resistance to therapy is common. Clinical and pre-clinical studies suggest that other alternative pro-angiogenic factors are up-regulated after VEGF-pathway inhibition. Therefore, identification alternative pro-angiogenic pathway(s) is critical for the development of more effective anti-angiogenic therapy. Here we study the role of apelin as a pro-angiogenic G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligand in tumor growth and angiogenesis. We applied single-cell RNA-sequencing to Mouse Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC1) or B16F10 mouse melanoma cell lines (1 X 106) implanted subcutaneously into the flanks of 12 weeks old Apln-/y or littermate control mice in combination with sunitinib or control (vehicle) treatment. We found apelin loss reduced angiogenic sprouting and tip cell marker gene expression in comparison to the sunitinib-alone treated mice and prevented EC tip cell differentiation.

CD146 as a potent target for anti-vascular therapies in lung cancer brain metastasis

Project description:Tumors in brain are hype-angiogenic and the anti-vascular therapies are important for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) derived brain metastasis (BM). Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR) is the most effective way of resisting angiogenesis. However, the most widely-used anti-vascular drug (Bevacizumab, Bev) has limited therapeutic effects on NSCLC BM. Here, we defined the overexpression of CD146 and its potent pro-angiogenesis role in NSCLC BM in clinical samples, animal models and ex vivo bionic microfluidic chips. Mechanistically, CD146 exerts a comprehensive and sustained reinforcing effect on the pro-angiogenic VEGF-VEGFR2 axis on the one hand by up-regulating tumoral VEGF transcription and on the other hand by amplifying and sensitizing the VEGFR on endothelial cell as a co-receptor. By revealing the underlying mechanism by which CD146 upregulated in BM that the reactive astrocyte-derived growth arrest specific 6 (GAS6) induces the transcription of CD146 by activating AXL signaling, we demonstrated Bemcentinib (R428/BGB324), an AXL inhibitor, effectively suppressed the CD146 expression in BM cells and exhibited superior anti-vascular efficacy against brain metastases when used alone and in combination with Bev in vivo, providing novel anti-vascular strategies in BM.

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

Potent antitumor activity of Cabozantinib, a c-MET and VEGFR2 Inhibitor, in a Colorectal Cancer Patient-derived Tumor Explant Model

Project description:Anti-angiogenic therapy is commonly used for the treatment of CRC. Although patients derive some clinical benefit, treatment resistance inevitably occurs. The MET signaling pathway has been proposed to be a major contributor of resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy. MET is upregulated in response to VEGF pathway inhibition and plays an essential role in tumorigenesis and progression of tumors. In this study we set out to determine the efficacy of cabozantinib in a preclinical CRC PDTX model. We demonstrate potent inhibitory effects on tumor growth in 80% of tumors treated. The greatest antitumor effects were observed in tumors that possess a mutation in the PIK3CA gene. The underlying antitumor mechanisms of cabozantinib consisted of inhibition of angiogenesis and Akt activation and significantly decreased expression of genes involved in the PI3K pathway. These findings support further evaluation of cabozantinib in patients with CRC. PIK3CA mutation as a predictive biomarker of sensitivity is intriguing and warrants further elucidation. A clinical trial of cabozantinib in refractory metastatic CRC is being activated. CRC PDTX Model treated with cabozantinib

Genes associated with angiogenic response to Ang-1 or VEGF

Project description:Specific Aims To identify novel transcriptional events associated with angiogenesis in VEGF and Ang-1 stimulated rat aortic rings. Our studies take advantage of the capacity of rat aortic rings to generate new vessels in collagen gels. Rat aortic rings embedded in collagen gel immediately after excision from the animal produce a self-limited angiogenic response under serum-free conditions and in the absence of exogenous stimuli. This angiogenic response can be dose-dependently promoted by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), which are critical regulators of the angiogenic process during embryonal development and postnatal angiogenesis. Aortic rings lose their capacity to spontaneously generate new vessels if embedded in collagen gels 10-14 days after excision. VEGF has the capacity to turn back “on” these quiescent rings producing florid angiogenesis. Conversely, Ang-1 potentiates an existing angiogenic response, but is unable to turn the quiescent system “on”. Since VEGF-mediated induction of angiogenic sprouting occurs 1-2 days of treatment, we hypothesize that this process is regulated by a unique set of “angiogenesis inducer genes” that are activated by VEGF and not by Ang-1. Identification of the proteins encoded by these genes may advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the earliest stages of the angiogenic cascade.

MicroRNA expression in HMVECs: control vs. VEGF-treated vs. PEDF/VEGF-treated

Project description:MicroRNA expression profiling of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) treated with either vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) only or in combination with the natural angiogenesis inhibitor pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF). Originally we were interested in the microRNA-mediated regulation of angiogenesis by the endogenous anti-angiogenic PEDF. To identify the microRNAs involved in PEDF signaling in activated endothelial cells, we compared the levels of microRNAs in non-treated microvascular endothelial cells, cells treated with VEGF, and cells treated with a combination of VEGF and PEDF. After treatment, total RNA content was isolated and sent for analysis to LC Sciences, LLC. They performed expression profiling and completed statistical analysis, based on which we confirmed the regulation of one of the microRNAs, mir-27b. In the following experiments, we identified the targets of mir-27b relevant for angiogenesis and confirmed our findings in zebrafish and mouse models. The manuscript describes the key role of mir-27b in determination of the endothelial tip cell fate and venous differentiation by regulating Notch ligand Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4) and Sprouty homologue 2 (Spry2). Three-condition experiment: untreated (control) HMVECs vs. VEGF-treated HMVECs vs. PEDF/VEGF-treated HMVECs.

Notch and VEGF pathways play distinct but complementary roles in tumor angiogenesis

Project description:We asked whether combining Notch and VEGF blockade would enhance suppression of tumor angiogenesis and growth, using the NGP neuroblastoma model. NGP tumors were engineered to express a Notch1 decoy construct (N1D), which restricts Notch signaling, and then treated with either the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab or vehicle. Combining Notch and VEGF blockade led to blood vessel regression, increasing endothelial cell apoptosis and disrupting pericyte coverage of endothelial cells. Combined Notch and VEGF blockade did not affect tumor weight, but did additively reduce tumor viability. Our results indicate that Notch and VEGF pathways play distinct but complementary roles in tumor angiogenesis, and show that concurrent blockade disrupts primary tumor vasculature and viability further than inhibition of either pathway alone. 6 neuroblastoma tumors were transfected with Notch1 decoy, 6 with Notch1 decoy and treated with bevacizumab, 6 tumors treated with bevacizumab, and 6 control tumors were profiled by human 133A 2.0 arrays
