Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vasculature, contributes to the pathogenesis of many disorders, including ischemic diseases and cancer. Integrins are cell adhesion molecules that are expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and pericytes, making them potential targets for antiangiogenic therapy. Here we review the contribution of endothelial and mural cell integrins to angiogenesis and highlight their potential as antiangiogenesis targets.
血管生成是指从已有的脉管系统形成新的血管，它在包括缺血性疾病和癌症在内的许多疾病的发病机制中发挥作用。整合素是在内皮细胞和周细胞表面表达的细胞粘附分子，使其成为抗血管生成治疗的潜在靶点。在此，我们综述内皮细胞和壁细胞整合素对血管生成的作用，并强调它们作为抗血管生成靶点的潜力。
