<p>Anti-Angiogenic Therapy in the Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer</p>

Abstract: Angiogenesis plays an essential role in the development of most solid tumors by delivering nutrients and oxygen to the tumor. Therefore, anti-angiogenic therapy, particularly anti-VEGF and anti-VEGF receptor (VEGFR) therapy, has been a popular strategy to treat cancer. However, anti-angiogenic therapy does not significantly improve patients' outcomes when used alone because the cutdown of the vessels transforms tumor cells to a hypoxiatolerant phenotype. While combining anti-angiogenic therapy with other thera… Show more

“…A major consequence of EGFR signaling in hypoxic tumors appears to be an enhanced induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); and the molecular mechanisms underlying the link between EGFR signaling and VEGF expression include both HIF-1α–dependent and independent mechanisms. VEGF, a HIF-1α target gene, is modulated by activation of several receptor tyrosine kinases, and EGFR inhibition has been found to decrease VEGF expression in many tumor types ( 44 ). HIF-1α transcriptionally regulates VEGF expression and binds directly to the hypoxia-response elements in the promoters of the VEGF-regulated genes.…”

“…Nevertheless, according to our findings, anlotinib may still be an appropriate choice for patients with advanced age, poor PS, or reluctance to receive chemotherapy. Anti-angiogenesis therapy can normalize abnormal vascularization in tumors, improve delivery of anti-tumor agents (Alshangiti et al 2018), modify the immunosuppressive microenvironment, and crosslink with the EGFR signaling pathway (Tian et al 2020); and thus play a synergistic antitumor role when combined with other treatments including chemotherapy, EGFR/TKIs, and ICIs. Additionally, the good tolerance and non-overlapping toxicity spectrum of anlotinib makes it possible to be combined.…”

“…Hence, this process plays a key role in tumor progression and is now recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer [ 224 , 225 ]. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an essential factor for vascular endothelial cells; its expression is up-regulated in most cancers, and its crucial role in tumor angiogenesis is well defined [ 226 , 227 , 228 , 229 , 230 , 231 ]. Among the VEGF isoforms, VEGF-A was shown to play a key role in PCa angiogenesis [ 232 , 233 , 234 ].…”
