 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Angiogenesis is critical for solid tumor growth beyond minimal size. Among many angiogenic factors, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF-A) plays a central role in tumor angiogenesis and associated microvessel permeability to plasma proteins. Anti-VEGF neutralizing antibodies and VEGFR kinase/multiple kinase inhibitors have been successfully developed and widely used in the clinic. However, in addition to their toxic side effect, the VEGF-targeted therapy in cancer faces the problems of insufficient efficacy, resistance and intrinsic refractoriness. Therefore, it is desirable to identify additional angiogenesis targets. Recently, we found that Down Syndrome Candidate Region 1 isoform 1L (DSCR1-1L) is highly up-regulated in cultured endothelial cells and in mouse angiogenesis model induced by VEGF. Knockdown the expression of DSCR1-1L inhibits endothelial cell proliferation in vitro and Matrigel angiogenesis in mice induced by VEGF. Further, DSCR1-1L is exclusively expressed in tumor vasculature of human cancer tissues (ovarian and kidney), but not in normal tissues, suggesting that targeting DSCR1-1L has less side effect than targeting VEGF/VEGFR. It was reported that histamine and serotonin play a role in tumor growth. Recently, we found that histamine and serotonin induce angiogenesis. Our preliminary studies demonstrate that DSCR1-1L is also induced by histamine, serotonin and PAF, suggesting that targeting DSCR1-1L will inhibit several signaling pathways that lead to tumor angiogenesis. In specific Aim, we will study whether DSCR1-1L regulates angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. This research will demonstrate that DSCR1-1L is a novel therapeutic target for anti-angiogenesis. Hence, this application has translation potential.

 描述（由适用提供）：血管生成对于超出最小尺寸的实体瘤生长至关重要。在许多血管生成因子中，血管内皮生长因子（VEGF-A）在肿瘤血管生成和相关的微血管渗透性中起着核心作用。抗VEGF中和抗体和VEGFR激酶/多个激酶抑制剂已成功开发并广泛用于诊所。但是，除了其毒性副作用外，癌症中靶向VEGF的疗法还面临着有效性，耐药性和内在性难治性不足的问题。因此，希望确定其他血管生成靶标。最近，我们发现唐氏综合症候选区1同生1L（DSCR1-1L）在培养的内皮细胞和VEGF诱导的小鼠血管生成模型中高度上调。 DSCR1-1L的表达在VEGF诱导的小鼠中抑制体外细胞增殖和基质凝胶血管生成。此外，DSCR1-1L仅在人类癌组织（卵巢和肾脏）的肿瘤脉管系统中仅表达，但在正常组织中不表达，这表明靶向DSCR1-1L的副作用要比靶向VEGF/VEGGR较小。据报道，组胺和5-羟色胺在肿瘤生长中起作用。最近，我们发现我们的初步研究的组胺表明，组胺，5-羟色胺和PAF也诱导了DSCR1-1L，这表明靶向DSCR1-1L将抑制几种导致肿瘤血管生成的信号传导途径。在特定目的中，我们将研究DSCR1-1L是否调节血管生成，肿瘤生长和转移。这项研究将表明DSCR1-1L是抗血管生成的新型治疗靶标。因此，该应用具有翻译潜力。
