Zebrafish functional xenograft vasculature platform identifies PF-502 as a durable vasculature normalization drug
iScience(2023)
摘要
Tumor vasculature often exhibits disorder and inefficiency. Vascular normalization offers potential for alleviating hypoxia and optimizing drug delivery in tumors. However, identifying effective agents is hindered by a lack of robust screening. We aimed to establish a comprehensive method using the zebrafish functional xenograft vasculature platform (zFXVP) to visualize and quantify tumor vasculature changes. Employing zFXVP, we systematically screened compounds, identifying PF-502 as a robust vascular normalization agent. Mechanistic studies showed PF-502 induces endothelial cell-cycle arrest, streamlines vasculature, and activates signaling, enhancing stability and hemodynamics. In murine models, PF-502 exhibited pronounced vascular normalization and improved drug delivery at a sub-maximum tolerated dose. These findings highlight zFXVP's utility and suggest PF-502 as a promising adjunctive for vascular normalization in clinical settings.
