Dose dependent effects of cadmium on tumor angiogenesis

Abstract: Angiogenesis is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis. Cadmium (Cd) exposure is associated with elevated cancer risk and mortality. Such association is, at least in part, attributable to Cd-induced tumor angiogenesis. Nevertheless, the reported effects of Cd on tumor angiogenesis appear to be either stimulatory or inhibitory, depending on the concentrations. Ultra-low concentrations of Cd (<0.5 μM) inhibit endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation, leading to reduced endothelial nitric oxide production an… Show more

“…With respect to plausible biological mechanisms that could explain the observed inverse associations, it has been reported that the effects of cadmium on tumor angiogenesis in breast cancer cells and other tumor models, can be either stimulatory or inhibitory, depending on the concentrations. 42,43 Ultra-low concentrations of cadmium (<0.5 μM) inhibit endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation, leading to reduced eNOS production and attenuated tumor angiogenesis. 44 Additionally, cadmium in high concentrations (>10 μM) induces both endothelial cells apoptosis via the activation of caspase-3, resulting in destruction of tumor vasculature.…”

“…The current study is the first, to our knowledge, to provide evidence for the effect of Cd on CFH expression and production in glomeruli, suggesting Cd as a crucial regulator of the innate immune system. Cd affects multiple organs, including liver and kidney, and the vascular system is also one of the primary targets of Cd-induced toxicity (42,43). At lower concentrations, Cd does not induce cytotoxicity in endothelial cells (7,9,44) but increases expression of vascular hemostastic factors, such as tissue factor and von Willebrand factor (45).…”

“…Inhibition of angiogenesis has thus been regarded as a valuable new approach to cancer therapy (14). A number of stimulators and inhibitors regulate angiogenesis (15). In the case of PKD1, a consensus exists with regard to its proangiogenic and thus proproliferative role whatever the cell model [endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) or cell lines] or the species (human or even zebrafish).…”
