Serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentrations in colon cancer patients of the two groups were evaluated before and after chemotherapy.
This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of MVD in stage II and III colon cancer and its relation to tumour-stroma-percentage (TSP) and expression of HIF1A and VEGFA.
Stimulation of colon cancer cells with VEGF-A and placental growth factor (PlGF) activated VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) and increased proliferation activity in an autocrine EGF/EGF receptor (EGF-R)-dependent manner.
We have used 20 Male wistar rats for the formation of colon cancer model and utilized albumin as carrier molecule for the delivery of siRNA against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGF R2).
The rationale for this therapeutic approach is based on the fact that antiangiogenic drugs can make tumors hypoxic, and thus more sensitive to PIM inhibitors.<b>Experimental Design:</b> Xenograft and orthotopic models of prostate and colon cancer were used to assess the effect of PIM activation on the efficacy of VEGF-targeting agents.
We evaluated the efficacy of bevacizumab-based anti-angiogenesis in combination with PDT as well as the resulting VEGF levels and microvessel density (MVD) in a mouse model of human colon cancer.
We evaluated the influence of 28 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 12 genes in the VEGF pathway on the prognosis of 347 patients with stage II-III colon cancer.
These factors could allow neoplastic tissues to survive and withstand the stress induced by hypoxia and/or disruption of the ECM, including vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloproteinases that were found to be highly elevated in tumor tissues of colon cancer patients.
Here, we show that colon cancer cells express high levels of VEGF, total HER2 and phosphorylated HER2, and simvastatin apparently decreased their expression in HER2-overexpressing colon cancer cells.
Taken together, our study provides evidences showing that miR-299-3p functions as a suppressor in colon cancer by targeting VEGFA, suggesting that miR-299-3p might serve as a novel target for colon cancer therapy.
Collectively, our results indicate that SARI is a potential target for therapy by inhibiting angiogenesis through the reduction of VEGF expression and is a prognostic indicator for patients with colon cancer.
Interleukin-1 Receptor Type 2 Acts with c-Fos to Enhance the Expression of Interleukin-6 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A in Colon Cancer Cells and Induce Angiogenesis.
This study showed that Lcn2-engineered MSCs (MSC-Lcn2) not only inhibited liver metastasis of colon cancer but also downregulated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the liver.
