Intense research efforts have been focused toward the identification of regulators of angiogenesis and the development of antiangiogenesis-based cancer therapies. The approval of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab) for use in colorectal and lung cancer provides clinical validation for targeting angiogenesis for the treatment of cancer. Delta-like 4 (Dll4)-mediated Notch signaling represents another key pathway essential for vascular development. Recent studies yield substantial insights into the role of Dll4 in angiogenesis. Dll4 is downstream of VEGF signaling and its activation triggers a negative feedback that restrains the effects of VEGF. Attenuation of Dll4/Notch signaling results in chaotic vascular network with excessive branching and sprouting. In preclinical studies, blocking of Dll4/Notch signaling is associated with a paradoxical increase in tumor vessel density, yet causes marked growth inhibition due to functionally defective vasculature. Dll4 blockade holds promise as an additional strategy for angiogenesis-based cancer therapy, especially when resistance to and/or escape from existing therapies evolve.
