Angiogenesis is a function of multiple signals from multiple cell types

PericytePDGF, TGFβ

Paracrinefactors

VEGF, Ang-2, bFGF

Endothelial cell

Tumor cell

O2 Nutrients

PDGF=platelet-derived growth factor; TGFβ=transforming growth factor beta; VEGF=vascular endothelial growth factor; Ang-2=angiopoietin; bFGF=basic fibroblast growth factor.

Angiogenesis is a vital process in the progression of cancer from small, localized neoplasms to larger and potentially metastatic tumors. Angiogenic vessels deliver oxygen, nutrients, and survival factors to cancer cells.1,2

Prognostic and predictive: MSI in CRC

MSI=microsatellite instability.Vilar E, Gruber SB. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2010;7:153-162.

Flankingsequence

Microsatellitesequence CA repeat

Flankingsequence

Microsatellites are tandem repeats of nucleotides, usually cytosine and adenine

• Different lengths of tandem repeats between 2 loci notes MSI

• Biomarkers for CRC predisposition

• Predictive biomarkers for response to chemotherapy

5-FU metabolic pathway: Genetic variants can impact response

5-FU

DPD

FdUMP(active

metabolite)TS

Tumor DNAsynthesis

5-FU=5-fluorouracil; DPD=dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency; FdUMP=5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate; TS=thymidylate synthase.

Increased TS,increased resistance

5-FU is converted intracellularly to the active metabolite fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP), leading to cell death by interfering with tumor DNA synthesis.

DPD

5-FU=5-fluorouracil; DPD=dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency; FdUMP=5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate; TS=thymidylate synthase.

Decreased DPD,increased toxicity

Patients who are deficient in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) experience profound systemic toxicity to 5-FU due to decreased catabolism and prolonged drug exposure.

Increased TS,increased resistance

5-FU=5-fluorouracil; DPD=dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency; FdUMP=5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate; TS=thymidylate synthase.

Increased expression of thymidylate synthase (TS) has been associated with suboptimal response to 5-FU based chemotherapy.
