The review proposes that previously reported discrepancies about netrin-1 in angiogenesis may be explained by the dependence-receptor model involving UNC5B.
Quoted textsource-backed
The aim of this review is to propose clues to explain previously reported discrepancies, in light of the dependence receptors model.
The review suggests that netrin-1 could favor angiogenesis by blocking apoptosis induced by unbound UNC5B receptor.
Quoted textsource-backed
Indeed, netrin-1 could likely favor angiogenesis, notably by blocking apoptosis induced by its unbound UNC5B receptor.
The review places netrin-1 within a broader class of guidance cues that regulate vascular system elaboration in addition to their roles in nervous system development.
Quoted textsource-backed
Growing lines of evidences have indicated that some guidance cues are involved in regulation of vascular system elaboration, in addition to their role during nervous system development.
The review states that netrin-1 has been implicated in control of angiogenesis, but its role remains controversial because prior studies have reported both pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic effects.
Quoted textsource-backed
netrin-1 has been involved in control of angiogenesis. However, a controversy has emerged regarding its action, since it was concluded from different studies that this protein was either a pro or an anti-angiogenic factor. Thus, netrin-1 role is still unclear.
