摘要 Glioblastoma is one of the most devastating central nervous system disorders.Being a highly vascular brain tumor,it is distinguished by aberrant vessel architecture.This lends credence to the idea that endothelial cells(ECs)linked with glioblastoma vary fundamentally from ECs seen in the healthy human brain.To effectively design an antiangiogenic treatment,it is crucial to identify the functional and phenotypic characteristics of tumor-associated ECs.The ECs associated with glioblastoma are less prone to apoptosis than control cells and are resistant to cytotoxic treatments.Additionally,ECs associated with glioblastoma migrate more quickly than control ECs and naturally produce large amounts of growth factors such as endothelin-1,interleukin-8,and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).For designing innovative antiangiogenic drugs that particularly target tumor-related ECs in gliomas,it is critical to comprehend these distinctive features of ECs associated with gliomas.This review discusses the process of angiogenesis,other factors involved in the genesis of tumors,and the possibility of ECs as a potential target in combating glioblastoma.It also sheds light on the association of tumor microenvironment and ECs with immunotherapy.This review,thus gives us the hope that neuro endothelial targeting with growth factors and angiogenesis regulators combined with gene therapy would open up new doorways and change our traditional perspective of treating cancer.
