| Research Abstract |
In the current granted-project., we elucidated the in vivo role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. We examined the combined effect of VEGF and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), which is also known as a potent angiogenic factor in HCC, overexpression by means of a combination of a retroviral tetracycline (tet)-regulated gene expression system. We found that VEGF and bFGF synergistically increased tumor growth and angiogenesis in murine HCC cells, at least partly induction of VEGF by bFGF overexpression through VEGFR-2. We also found that clinically used angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I), perindopril (PE) and interferon (IFN) at clinical compatible low doses significantly suppressed the HCC development and angiogenesis associated with suppression of VEGF. We reported these results in several journals, such as Hepatology and Clinical Cancer Research.
