May guide Ang-2 targeting in astrocytoma models; leaves open human validation before any clinical consideration.
Angiopoietin-2 plays a tumor stage-dependent role in enhancing vascular growth in malignant astrocytomas.
Zadeh et al. (2010) studied Malignant astrocytomas. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) was evaluated on Vascular growth and structure of malignant astrocytomas. Angiopoietin-2 significantly enhances the vascular growth of malignant astrocytomas, and its constant upregulation generates abnormal vascular structures not typically seen in human astrocytomas.
