20080306002Combination Therapy for Preventing Angiogenesis - The present invention is directed to a combination therapy for inhibiting angiogenesis in a subject having, or at risk of having, an angiogenic disease/disorder. The method comprises both administering to the mammal an inhibitor of HIF-I and administering a second compound or agent that inhibits angiogenesis such as an inhibitor of IL-8, VEGF, angiopoietins, EGF, FGF, TGF, G-CSF, or PDGF. Administration of an inhibitor of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-I) in combination with an inhibitor of interleukin 8 (IL-8) is particularly useful for treatment of colon cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer.12-11-2008
20100143311ANTICANCER THERAPY BY TRANSPLANTING VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL PROGENITOR CELLS - It is intended to provide anticancer therapy using autologous cells or the like, which induces the regression of cancer or has favorable drug delivery effects and brings about reduction or withdrawal of a hypoxic region(s) in tumor. Transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells, via intravenously or other methods leads to tumor growth inhibition, an increase of the vascular density with an enlargement of the vascular diameter, and reduction of a hypoxic region(s) in the tumor. Allogeneic transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells may be achieved to secure the cells for the therapy, however, autologous transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells from cancer patients would be desirable in order to evade rejection. When the autologous cells are used, mononuclear cells are separated from the peripheral blood or bone marrow of the patient and cultured using an endothelial differentiation medium containing cytokines such as VEGF to obtain adherent cells, which can then be collected and advantageously used as endothelial progenitor cells.06-10-2010
