In a recent report by Zhang , pleiotrophin (PTN) was demonstrated to enhance glioma growth by promoting vascular abnormalization. PTN stimulates glioma vessels through anaplastic lymphoma kinase (Alk)-mediated perivascular deposition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Targeting of Alk or VEGF signaling normalizes tumor vessels in PTN-expressing tumors.
在张最近的一份报告中,多效生长因子(PTN)被证明可通过促进血管异常来增强胶质瘤生长。PTN通过间变性淋巴瘤激酶(Alk)介导的血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)血管周围沉积来刺激胶质瘤血管。靶向Alk或VEGF信号可使表达PTN的肿瘤中的肿瘤血管正常化。
