Abstract

Angiogenesis, the sprouting of capillaries from preexisting vessels, is of fundamental importance during embryonic development and is the principal process by which the brain and certain other organs become vascularized. Angiogenesis occurs during embryonic development but is almost absent in adult tissues. Transient and tightly controlled (physiological) angiogenesis in adult tissues occurs during the female reproductive cycle and during wound healing. In contrast, pathological angiogenesis is characterized by the persistent proliferation of endothelial cells, and is a prominent feature of diseases such as proliferative retinopathy, rheumathoid arthritis, and psoriasis. In addition, many tumors are able to attract blood vessels from neighbouring tissues. Tumor-induced angiogenesis requires a constitutive activation of endothelial cells. These endothelial cells dissolve their surrounding extracellular matrix, migrate toward the tumor, proliferate, and form a new vascular network, thus supplying the tumor with nutrients and oxygen and removing waste products. The onset of angiogenesis in human gliomas is characterized by the expression of genes encoding angiogenic growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
