Recent biological and molecular studies have begun to elucidate the basic mechanisms of vascular cell proliferation, motility, and differentiation in vitro and in vivo. With this knowledge, it should be feasible to devise therapeutic strategies to selectively target and perturb the biological processes of angiogenic vascular cells, thereby leading to effective inhibitors of angiogenesis. This strategy has led to the development of antagonists to integrin alpha v beta 3, which promote the unscheduled programmed cell death of newly sprouting blood vessels. These antagonists cause regression of preestablished human tumors growing in laboratory animals and thus may lead to an effective therapeutic approach for most solid tumors in humans. Studies are currently aimed at designing highly specific small organic integrin inhibitors that will disrupt the signals enabling vascular cells to respond to the tumor-associated extracellular environment and to promote tumor-induced angiogenesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":77172,"journal":{"name":"Important advances in oncology","volume":" ","pages":"69-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19762873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
