However, its clinical benefits still remain limited. As liver metastases (LM) represent the most common metastatic site of colorectal cancer and affect approximately one-quarter of the patients diagnosed with this malignancy, its treatment is an essential aspect for patients' prognosis. Especially in the perioperative setting, the application of anti-angiogenic drugs represents a therapeutic option that may be used in case of high-risk or borderline resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) in order to achieve secondary resectability. Regarding CRCLM, one reason for the limitations of anti-angiogenic treatment may be represented by vessel co-option (VCO), which is an alternative mechanism of blood supply that differs fundamentally from the well-known sprouting angiogenesis and occurs in a significant fraction of CRCLM. In this scenario, tumor cells hijack pre-existing mature vessels of the host organ independently from stimulating new vessels formation. This represents an escape mechanism from common anti-angiogenic anti-cancer treatments, as they primarily target the main trigger of sprouting angiogenesis, the vascular endothelial growth factor A. Moreover, the mechanism of blood supply in CRCLM can be deduced from their phenotypic histopathological growth pattern (HGP). For that, a specific guideline has already been implemented. These HGP vary not only regarding their blood supply, but also concerning their tumor microenvironment (TME), as notable differences in immune cell infiltration and desmoplastic reaction surrounding the CRCLM can be observed. The latter actually serves as one of the central criteria for the classification of the HGP. Regarding the clinically relevant effects of the HGP, it is still a topic of research whether the VCO-subgroup of CRCLM results in an impaired treatment response to anti-angiogenic treatment when compared to an angiogenic subgroup. However, it is well-proved, that VCO in CRCLM generally relates to an inferior survival compared to the angiogenic subgroup. Altogether the different types of blood supply result in a relevant influence on the patients' prognosis. This reinforces the need of an extended understanding of the underlying mechanisms of VCO in CRCLM with the aim to generate more comprehensive approaches which can target tumor vessels alternatively or even other components of the TME. This review aims to augment the current state of knowledge on VCO in CRCLM and other tumor entities and its impact on anti-angiogenic anti-cancer therapy."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fcell.2021.612774"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17843"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/92098"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","2296-634X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Different Forms of Tumor Vascularization and Their Clinical Implications Focusing on Vessel Co-option in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Differing subpopulations have been detected, distinguishable only by their transcriptome. Designed to provide further insight into the heterogeneity of the functional vascular tissue, endothelial cells have been the main target of those studies. This review aims to present a synopsis of the variability of the different vascular beds, their endothelial variety, and the supporting cells that allow the vessels to serve their various purposes. Firstly, we are going to chart vascular tissue heterogeneity on a cellular level, describing endothelial diversity as well as stromal microenvironmental variety and interaction in a physiological setting. Secondly, we will summarize the current knowledge of pathological vessel formation in the context of cancer. Conventional anti-tumor therapeutic targets as well as anti-angiogenetic therapy is frequently limited by poor response of the tumor tissue. Reasons for moderate response and resistance to treatment can be found through different drivers of angiogenesis, different mechanisms of blood supply, but also in poorly understood tissue diversity. Based on this, we are comparing how pathologies alter the normal structure of vascular tissues highlighting the involved mechanisms. Lastly, illustrating the concept above, we will focus on the hepatic microenvironment, an organ of frequent metastatic spreading (e.g., from colorectal, breast, and lung cancers). We will address how the hepatic vasculature usually develops and subsequently we will describe how common liver metastases vary in their vasculature and the way they supply themselves (e.g., angiogenesis versus vessel co-option)."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2020"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fphys.2020.591901"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17677"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/92089"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","1664-042X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Vascular Heterogeneity With a Special Focus on the Hepatic Microenvironment"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
