摘要
血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)是最具特征性的血管新生调节因子,与其特异性受体(VEGFR)结合后可促进内皮细胞增殖和分化,增加微血管通透性,诱导血管新生,触发肿瘤细胞的生长并抑制其凋亡。VEGF表达及其信号通路的失调在血液系统恶性肿瘤的发病机制和临床表现方面发挥至关重要的作用,因此直接或间接作用于VEGF及其受体的治疗手段为抑制恶性肿瘤骨髓血管新生、逆转多药耐药提供了全新的方法,从而进一步提高治疗效果。近年来,RNA干扰技术作为一项全新的VEGF抑制体系倍受关注,其中靶向VEGF/VEGFR的小分子干扰RNA可以抑制VEGF表达,从根本上诱导相应基因的沉默。
Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is one of the best characterized angiogenic regulators which has many effects in promoting endotheliocyte proliferation and differentiation, increasing the microvascular permeability, inducing the angiogenesis, triggering the growth, survival and migration of tumor cells by combining its specificity receptor (VEGFR). Dysregulation of VEGF expression and signaling pathways therefore plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and clinical features of hematologic malignancies, direct and indirect targeting of VEGF and its receptors therefore may provide a potent novel therapeutic approach to overcome bone marrow angiogenesis and multidrug resistance thereby improve patient outcome. Recent years, a novel VEGF blockade system using RNA interference attracts more and more people's attention. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting VEGF/VEGFR can completely inhibits the expression of VEGF and induce the silence of corresponding genes.
