    Abstract Oxygen is of fundamental importance for most living organisms, and the maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is a key physiological challenge for all large animals. Oxygen deprivation, hypoxia, is a critical component of many human diseases including cancer, heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, and anaemia. The discovery of oxygen sensing provides fundamental knowledge of a stunningly elegant molecular machinery; it also promises development of new therapeutics for serious diseases such as cancer. As a result of their impressive contributions to our understanding of the mechanisms by which cells sense oxygen and signal in hypoxia, Gregg Semenza, Peter Ratcliffe, and William Kaelin were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2019.

    Abstract Certain matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family proteins have been associated with cell proliferation and invasion in aggressive cancers. However, attempts to target the MMPs with the hope of treating tumors have thus far failed. In this issue of the JCI, Ragusa and coworkers identified an intestinal cancer subgroup of slow-growing, chemotherapy-resistant, and very aggressive matrix-rich tumors that mimic a hard-to-treat colorectal cancer subtype in humans. These tumors showed downregulated levels of the transcription factor prospero homeobox protein 1 (PROX1), which relieved repression of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP14. Upregulated MMP14 levels correlated with blood vessel dysfunction and a lack of cytotoxic T cells. Notably, blockade of proangiogenic factors in combination with stimulation of the CD40 pathway in the mouse cancer model boosted cytotoxic T cell infiltration. The study illustrates how combinatorial treatments for aggressive, T cell-deficient cancers can launch an antitumor immune response.

    Abstract In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Uribesalgo and coworkers show that high Apelin expression correlates with poor survival in advanced breast (MMTV‐NeuT) and lung (KRASG12D) murine tumor models as well as in breast and lung cancer in humans. Combining Apelin inhibition (genetically or using an inactive Apelin agonist) with anti‐angiogenic therapy using different small molecular weight kinase inhibitors (sunitinib, axitinib) led to marked delay in breast cancer growth in mice. The vasculature in Apelin‐targeted cancer showed normalized features including improved perfusion and reduced leakage. These important data provide a strong incentive to target Apelin in human cancer treatment.

    Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signal transduction through receptor tyrosine kinases VEGF receptor-1, -2 and -3 is of crucial importance for monocytes/macrophages, blood vascular endothelial and lymphatic endothelial cells both in physiology and in a number of pathologies notably cancer. This brief review summarizes the current status of VEGF receptor signaling with emphasis on in vivo data.

    Abstract The plasma protein histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) is implicated in the polarization of macrophages to an M1 antitumoral phenotype. The broadly expressed secreted protein stanniocalcin 2 (STC2), also implicated in tumor inflammation, is an HRG interaction partner. With the aim to biochemically characterize the HRG and STC2 complex, binding of recombinant HRG and STC2 preparations to each other and to cells was explored using the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) methodology. The functionality of recombinant proteins was tested in a phagocytosis assay, where HRG increased phagocytosis by monocytic U937 cells while STC2 suppressed HRG-induced phagocytosis. The binding of HRG to STC2, measured using QCM, showed an affinity between the proteins in the nanomolar range, and both HRG and STC2 bound individually and in combination to vitamin D3-treated, differentiated U937 monocytes. HRG, but not STC2, also bound to formaldehyde-fixed U937 cells irrespective of their differentiation stage in part through the interaction with heparan sulfate. These data show that HRG and STC2 bind to each other as well as to U937 monocytes with high affinity, supporting the relevance of these interactions in monocyte/macrophage polarity.

    Abstract Regulation of vascular permeability to plasma is essential for tissue and organ homeostasis and is mediated by endothelial cell-to-cell junctions that tightly regulate the trafficking of molecules between blood and tissue. The single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein CD93 is upregulated in endothelial cells during angiogenesis and controls cytoskeletal dynamics. However, its role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating endothelial barrier function has not been elucidated yet. Here, we demonstrate that CD93 interacts with vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and limits its phosphorylation and turnover. CD93 deficiency in vitro and in vivo induces phosphorylation of VE-cadherin under basal conditions, displacing it from endothelial cell-cell contacts. Consistent with this, endothelial junctions are defective in CD93
