The growth and metastasis of solid tumors is dependent on their ability to initiate and sustain new capillary growth, ie, angiogenesis (Folkman, 1995). Although much has been discovered about adult angiogenesis, it is unclear whether abnormal angiogenesis such as that occurring in solid tumor growth involves different mechanisms from desirable angiogenesis which occurs in endometrial proliferation or in wound healing. In the past, many researchers have investigated the difference between the proliferating tumor endothelium from the normal quiescent endothelium by many approaches including antibody targeting (Huang et al., 1997) and immunohistochemical analysis of known endothelial adhesion molecules (Nguyen et al., 1997). We further investigated the molecular mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis by identifying genes that become activated as well as those that become down-regulated when quiescent endothelial cells are exposed to a tumor environment. Toward this goal, we used a subtraction hybridization method called SSH (suppression subtractive hybridization, Diatchenko et al., 1996).
