Roles of EphA2 Receptor in Angiogenesis Signaling Pathway of Glioblastoma Multiforme

Abstract: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common primary brain tumours in adults, accounting for almost 65% of all cases. Among solid tumours, GBM is characterised by strong angiogenesis, including the highest degree of vascular proliferation and endothelial cell hyperplasia. Despite numerous improvements in existing treatment approaches, the prognosis of GBM patients remains poor, with a mean survival of only 14.6 months. Growing evidence has shown significant overexpression of the ephrin type-A recept… Show more

“…Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma A2 (EphA2) belongs to the Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs); it plays a role in a wide variety of functions in malignant cells, such as tumorigenesis, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis ( Wykosky and Debinski, 2008 ; Baharuddin et al, 2018 ). Therefore, targeting EphA2 could prevent tumor progression and recurrence.…”

“…Angiogenesis can be defined as the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, and involves proliferation, migration, and differentiation of vascular ECs. Angiogenesis is a tightly tuned process regulated by a balance between pro-angiogenic and inhibiting factors ( Table 1 ) [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ]. Among the broad range of angiogenic stimuli, a lack of oxygen is one of the more potent triggers, which mainly operates via the activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) transcription factor and commands the expression of VEGF [ 59 ].…”

“…The study by Wang [55] used a heparin-based polymer conjugated with cRGD and SWLAYPGAVSYR (SWL; S = serine, W = tryptophan, L = leucine, A = alanine, Y = tyrosine, P = proline, and V = valine) peptides to promote selective affinity for the overexpressed integrin and EphA2 tyrosine kinase receptor, respectively, reaching 56% simultaneous inhibition of endothelial-lined blood vessels and 82% vasculogenic mimicry. VEGFR-2 plays a key role in vasculogenic mimicry formation, neovascularization, and tumor initiation by glioma stem-like cells [99], and EphA2 and its receptors are significantly involved in blood vessel formation and remodeling during the vascular development of cancers [25]. EphA2 may regulate vessel sprouting during developmental angiogenesis independently via inhibition at both the gene and protein levels of VEGFR-2, without affecting VEGF expression by GBM cells [25].…”

The study by Zhang [45] modified the surface of liposomes with a thiolated cyclic pentapeptide derivative containing RGD conjugated with DSPE-PEG2000-maleimide, aiming at a nanoformulation capable of crossing the BBB and target GBM neovasculature.…”
