Abstract
Angiogenesis, the formation of new vasculature from preexisting vasculature, is involved in the development of several diseases as well as various physiological processes. Strict cooperation of proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors mediates the control of angiogenesis. The fundamental steps in angiogenesis include endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Addictive substances, which are considered therapeutic candidates in research and medicine, are classified as natural substances, such as nicotine, or synthetic substances, such as synthetic cannabinoids. Addictive substances have been shown to either enhance or suppress angiogenesis. This review article provides an overview of recent studies concerning the effects of several addictive substances on the process of angiogenesis. Google Scholar and PubMed were used to collect the scientific literature used in this review. The addictive substances addressed in this review are nicotine, opioids such as morphine and heroin, alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, and cannabinoids. An accurate assessment of the influence of these substances on the angiogenic process may help to construct a potentially effective therapeutic protocol to control and treat several angiogenesis-related diseases.
