- W2083679963 abstract "In Brief BACKGROUND The primary treatment for craniopharyngiomas is total excision, but recurrence is common. However, current knowledge on the mechanisms of recurrence is limited. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that recurrence is linked to the angiogenesis of the tumor. Recurrent and nonrecurrent tumor samples were compared with regard to expression of angiogenesis-related factors and angiogenic capacity in a corneal angiogenesis model. METHODS Specimens of 4 recurrent and 6 nonrecurrent tumors were selected from 57 patients with adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas. Sections were immunohistochemically stained with antibodies for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibronectin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-A, PDGF-B, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-α, and PDGFR-β. Expression levels were graded using a 4-point scoring system and were compared. For corneal angiogenesis assay, tissue samples were inoculated in a micropocket created on the rat eye, and microvessels were counted on days 3, 5, 7, and 9 to evaluate angiogenic potential. RESULTS Expression of PDGFR-α and FGF-2 were significantly higher for recurrent tumors (P = .02 and P = .01). However, recurrent and nonrecurrent tumors did not differ in the expressions of other ligands and receptors (PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and PDGFR-β). Recurrent tumors displayed a higher angiogenic potential starting from the fifth day of corneal angiogenesis assay. CONCLUSION These findings suggest a relationship between recurrence of craniopharyngiomas and angiogenesis. New treatment modalities with selective PDGFR-α blockers may represent a novel and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of craniopharyngiomas.
