In vivo upregulation of CD95 and CD95L causes synergistic inhibition of angiogenesis by TSP1 peptide and metronomic doxorubicin treatment

Antiangiogenic thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) induces endothelial cell death via a CD95-mediated cascade. We used this signaling pathway, where CD95/Fas is a rate-limiting intermediate, as a target to optimize the efficacy of TSP1 active peptide, DI-TSP. Like TSP1, DI-TSP upregulated endothelial CD95L in vivo. To modulate CD95 levels, we chose chemotherapy agent doxorubicin (DXR). DXR caused sustained upregulation of CD95 in the activated endothelium at 1/100 of the maximal tolerated dose. DI-TSP and DXR synergistically induced endothelial apoptosis in vitro, and in vivo, in developing murine vessels. Fas decoy, TSP1 receptor antibody and Pifithrin, a p53 inhibitor, severely decreased apoptosis and restored angiogenesis by DXR-DI-TSP combination, evidencing critical roles of CD95 and TSP1. Combined therapy synergistically blocked neovascularization and progression of the bladder and prostate carcinoma. Such informed design of a complex antiangiogenic therapy based on the rate-limiting molecular targets is a novel concept, which may yield new approaches to cancer treatment.
