We now know that excessive angiogenesis contributes to the development of a variety of disease processes, including cancer, chronic inflammatory disease, and diabetic retinopathy. On the other hand, insufficient angiogenesis may impair wound healing and organ repair. This volume describes recent advances in understanding the molecular regulation of angiogenesis. Subjects covered include important pro-angiogenic growth factors (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor, scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor) and their receptors; angiogenesis inhibitors (e.g., thrombospondin-1, angiostatin); extracellular matrix factors (e.g., laminin) and specific vascular integrins (avb3 and avb5) that regulate angiogenesis; the roles of fibrin and the fibrinolytic system in angiogenesis; physical factors that regulate angiogenesis (hypoxia, pH); mechanisms by which specific cell types (macrophages, pericytes) regulate angiogenesis; and lymphangiogenesis, a subject often ignored in volumes of this type. Several chapters are also devoted to the prognostic and therapeutic implications of tumor angiogenesis, a subject of great interest to clinicians. Reflecting the latest advances in this exciting and expanding field, this comprehensive and authoritative monograph will prove invaluable to cell biologists, cancer researchers and pharmacologists.

Dr. O'Reilly discusses angiostatin, an exciting recently discovered factor derived from the fibrinolytic proenzyme plasminogen that inhibits tumor angiogenesis, primary tumor growth, and formation of metastases. In addition to the soluble class of angiogenesis-regulatory factors discussed above, interactions of endothelial cells with components of the extracellular matrix and with other cell types are critical for proper formation of vessels. Drs. Grant and Kleinman discuss the role of laminin and other matrix molecules in regulation of capillary formation. Dr. van Hinsbergh and colleagues describe the role of fibrin and the fibrinolytic system in angiogenesis associated with wound repair. Cell surface mole cules that interact with the extracellular matrix have been implicated in the regulation of angiogenesis. Dr. Varner discusses some exciting new studies on the roles of specific vascular cell integrins (a /33 and a /3s) in mediating v v tumor angiogenesis and angiogenesis associated with wound healing. The pericyte, a vascular smooth muscle-like cell, exerts a powerful regulatory effect during the later stages of angiogenesis in which mature capillaries are formed. These mechanisms are discussed by Drs. Hirschi and D' Amore. With all the recent progress in the molecular biology of angiogenesis, the contribution of microenvironmental conditions such as hypoxia and pH to angiogenesis is often ignored. Drs. Rockwell and Knisely review this area of investigation and present studies of experimental tumor models. 448 pp. Englisch. Codice articolo 9783034898645
