Abstract

The angiogenesis efficacy in solid tumors and hematological malignancies has been identified for more than twenty years. Although the exact role of angiogenesis in leukemia as a common hematological malignancy has not yet been extensively studied, its effect is demonstrated on the initiation and maintenance of a favorable microenvironment for leukemia cell proliferation. The angiopoietin family is a defined molecular mediator for angiogenesis, which contributes to vascular permeability and angiogenesis initiation. They participate in the angiogenesis process by binding to tyrosine kinase receptors (Tie) on endothelial cells. Considering the role of angiogenesis in leukemia development and the crucial effects of the Ang–Tie system in angiogenesis regulation, many studies have focused on the correlation between the Ang–Tie system and leukemia diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. In this study, we reviewed the Ang–Tie system’s potential diagnostic and therapeutic effects in different types of leukemia in the gene expression level analysis approach. The angiopoietin family context-dependent manner prevents us from defining its actual function in leukemia, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies.
