Celecoxib: Antiangiogenic and Antitumoral Action

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Angiogenesis, a process by which new blood vessels are generated from pre-existing ones, is significantly compromised in tumor development, given that due to the nutritional need of tumor cells, pro-angiogenic signals will be generated to promote this process and thus receive the oxygen and nutr...

Red propolis and L-lysine on angiogenesis and tumor growth in a new model of hamster cheek pouch inoculated with Walker 256 tumor cells

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of red propolis and L-lysine on angiogenesis and tumor growth in a new model of hamster cheek pouch inoculated with Walker 256 tumor cells. Methods: The study consisted of two experiments with four groups each (total: 57 hamsters). In the experiment 1, the ani...

Effect of red propolis on hamster cheek pouch angiogenesis in a new sponge implant model

Acta cir. bras; 33 (5), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effects of red propolis on cheek pouch angiogenesis in a hamster new model sponge implant. Methods: Forty eight animals divided into eight groups. (Groups I-IV), the animals were treated for 15 days before and 10 days after sponge implantation. (Groups V-VIII), the an...

Platelet activating factor receptor antagonists improve the efficacy of experimental chemo- and radiotherapy

Clinics; 73 (supl.1), 2018
Platelet activating factor is a lipid mediator of inflammation, and in recent decades, it has emerged as an important factor in tumor outcomes. Platelet activating factor acts by specific binding to its receptor, which is present in both tumor cells and cells that infiltrate tumors. Pro-tumorigenic effec...

Quercetin alleviates pulmonary angiogenesis in a rat model of hepatopulmonary syndrome

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (7), 2016
Quercetin shows protective effects against hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), as demonstrated in a rat model. However, whether these effects involve pulmonary vascular angiogenesis in HPS remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of quercetin on pulmonary vascular angiogenesis and ex...

Celecoxib decreases growth and angiogenesis and promotes apoptosis in a tumor cell line resistant to chemotherapy

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: During the last few years it has been shown in several laboratories that Celecoxib (Cx), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) normally used for pain and arthritis, mediates antitumor and antiangiogenic effects. However, the effects of this drug on a tumor cell line resistant to che...

Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a novel approach for cancer therapy

Medicina (B.Aires); 60 Suppl 2 (), 2000
Of the numerous growth factors and cytokines that have been shown to have angiogenic effects, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), appears to be a key factor in pathological situations which involve neovascularization as well as enhanced vascular pe...
