“…Sp1, TAL-1, and the ETS family of transcription factors bind to and enhance VE-cadherin promoter activity (49 -51). In contrast, Snail, Slug, and Twist transcription factors are responsible for the down-regulation of VE-cadherin promoter activity by binding to the E-box of the promoter region (26). The binding between these transcription factors and the human VE-cadherin promoter were shown in an in vitro system using EMSA (26).…”

The binding between these transcription factors and the human VE-cadherin promoter were shown in an in vitro system using EMSA (26). Thus, whether Snail, Slug, or Twist can bind to human VE-cadherin promoter within a natural chromatin cellular context and whether the binding of these transcription factors can directly regulate VE-cadherin mRNA and protein levels still remain unknown.…”

Background: Transforming growth factor (TGF)-␤1 treatment decreases human trophoblast invasion. Results: Smad-dependent up-regulation of Snail mediates TGF-␤1-induced down-regulation of VE-cadherin. Conclusion: TGF-␤1 decreases human trophoblast invasion by down-regulating VE-cadherin. Significance: Our results provide important insights into the molecular mechanisms mediating TGF-␤1-induced down-regulation of VE-cadherin and decreased cell invasion in human trophoblast cells.

Modulating sphingosine‐1‐phosphate receptors to improve chemotherapy efficacy against Ewing sarcoma

Tumor vasculature is innately dysfunctional. Poorly functional tumor vessels inefficiently deliver chemotherapy to tumor cells; vessel hyper‐permeability promotes chemotherapy delivery primarily to a tumor's periphery. Here, we identify a method for enhancing chemotherapy efficacy in Ewing sarcoma (ES) in mice by modulating tumor vessel permeability. Vessel permeability is partially controlled by the G protein‐coupled Sphinosine‐1‐phosphate receptors 1 and 2 (S1PR1 and S1PR2) on endothelial cells. S1PR1 promotes endothelial cell junction integrity while S1PR2 destabilizes it. We hypothesize that an imbalance of S1PR1:S1PR2 is partially responsible for the dysfunctional vascular phenotype characteristic of ES and that by altering the balance in favor of S1PR1, ES vessel hyper‐permeability can be reversed. In our study, we demonstrate that pharmacologic activation of S1PR1 by SEW2871 or inhibition of S1PR2 by JTE‐013 caused more organized, mature and functional tumor vessels. Importantly, S1PR1 activation or S1PR2 inhibition improved antitumor efficacy. Our data suggests that pharmacologic targeting of S1PR1 and S1PR2 may be a useful adjuvant to standard chemotherapy for ES patients.
