TY - JOUR AU - Dong, Rui AU - Yang, Guo-Dong AU - Luo, Nian-An AU - Qu, Ya-Qi PY - 2014 TI - HuR: a promising therapeutic target for angiogenesis JF - Gland Surgery; Vol 3, No 3 (August 13, 2014): Gland Surgery Y2 - 2014 KW - N2 - Multiple angiogenic factors and inhibitors are becoming potential therapeutic targets for ischemia diseases and cancer. Posttranscriptional regulation through the untranslated region of mRNA is emerging as a critical regulating level in nearly all the biological processes. As a kind of RNA binding proteins, HuR plays important role in augmenting the hypoxic or inflammatory signal, stabilizing the resultant angiogenic factors and promoting the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. These implicate HuR in the proangiogenic factors mediated angiogenesis in the hypoxia and inflammatory. We consider hypotheses that a more effective angiogenesis can be acquired through strengthened and prolonged effects of angiogenic factors, and that progresses in therapeutic angiogensis might also shed light on the implication of HuR in blocking tumor angiogensis. These considerations may help us to explain HuR as a promising therapeutic target for angiogenesis related disease. It may be a candidate in hypoxia therapy and cancer management.
