In my lab we are interested in fighting glioblastoma pretty hard. Now we are using two pan-tyrosine kinase  inhibitors, namely Sunitinib and Axitinib. Because one of the major in vivo tumor impacts is the reduction of angionesis in the tumors, we would like to check first in vitro if your strategy of miRNA modulation+drug also reduces the tumor cells pro-angiogenic features.

Is it enough to look for VEGF in the medium or the levels of VEGFR/Epherins in the cell's membrane? The co-culture with endothelial cells can give us some good results?

Or do you think the CAM assay is more aproppriate?

Thank you
