Angiogenesis is a key mechanism for tumor growth and metastasis and has been a therapeutic target for anti-cancer treatments. Intensive vascular growth is concomitant with the rapidly proliferating tumor cell population and tumor outgrowth. Current angiogenesis inhibitors targeting either one or a few pro-angiogenic factors or a range of downstream signaling molecules provide clinical benefit, but not without significant side effects. miRNAs are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, and their dysregulation has been associated with tumor progression, metastasis, resistance, and the promotion of tumor-induced angiogenesis. In this mini-review, we provide a brief overview of the current anti-angiogenic approaches, their molecular targets, and side effects, as well as discuss existing literature on the role of miRNAs in angiogenesis. As we highlight specific miRNAs, based on their activity on endothelial or cancer cells, we discuss their potential for anti-angiogenic targeting in cancer as adjuvant therapy and the importance of angiogenesis being evaluated in such combinatorial approaches.
血管生成是肿瘤生长和转移的关键机制,一直是抗癌治疗的靶点。密集的血管生长与快速增殖的肿瘤细胞群体和肿瘤生长相伴。目前针对一种或几种促血管生成因子或一系列下游信号分子的血管生成抑制剂可带来临床益处,但并非没有显著副作用。微小RNA(miRNA)是基因表达的重要转录后调节因子,其失调与肿瘤进展、转移、耐药性以及肿瘤诱导的血管生成促进有关。在本综述中,我们简要概述了当前的抗血管生成方法、其分子靶点和副作用,并讨论了关于miRNA在血管生成中作用的现有文献。当我们根据其对内皮细胞或癌细胞的活性突出特定miRNA时,我们讨论它们作为辅助治疗在癌症中进行抗血管生成靶向的潜力,以及在这种联合方法中评估血管生成的重要性。
