Aberrant vasculature resulting from tumor angiogenesis plays a critical role in the development of resistance to breast cancer treatments, via exacerbation of tumor hypoxia, decreased effective drug concentrations within tumors, and immune-related mechanisms. Antiangiogenic therapy can counteract these breast cancer resistance factors by promoting tumor vascular normalization. The combination of antiangiogenic therapy with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach for overcoming drug resistance in breast cancer. This review examines the mechanisms associated with angiogenesis and the interactions among tumor angiogenesis, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, drug distribution, and immune mechanisms in breast cancer. Furthermore, this review provides a comprehensive summary of specific antiangiogenic drugs, and relevant studies assessing the reversal of drug resistance in breast cancer. The potential mechanisms underlying these interventions are discussed, and prospects for the clinical application of antiangiogenic therapy to overcome breast cancer treatment resistance are highlighted.展开更多

This migration is essential for the presentation of antigen that leads to priming of effector T cell responses. In this study, we tried to promote the migratory ability of mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) loaded with antigen of breast cancer, and its immunological effect in vivo. Methods: After being loaded with breast carcinoma antigen, BMDCs were cultured with medium containing PGE2, LTC4, or Bryo-1 respectively. Phenotypic changes, CCR7 expression, chemotaxis assay, mixed lymphocyte response, specific T lymphocyte cytotoxicity assay and anti-tumor immune efficacy of BMDCs were observed. Results : PGF2 and LTC4 promoted maturation, CCR7 expression and migratory ability of BMDCs compared with control group in vitro. In vivo PGE2 and LTC4 group vaccines were more efficient on suppressing growth of mouse breast cancer than other groups. However Bryo-1 only enhanced BMDCs maturation. Conclusion: Because the effect of specific CTL in vitro had no difference, we suggested that migration of dendritic cells to lymph nodes maybe answered for the better anti-tumor immunological response induced by PGE2 or LTC4 in vivo.展开更多
