Database search with these nucleotide sequences using the BLAST algorithm revealed many known positive or negative regulators of angiogenesis, including proteases and cell surface receptors.
TSP-1 is a homotrimeric multidomain glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by numerous cell types, including platelets, vascular smooth muscle cells and keratinocytes [ 4 ] . Due to its interaction with a wide variety of proteins, TSP-1 has been implicated in a number of biological processes including coagulation, cell adhesion, the modulation of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, control of tumor growth and metastasis, and angiogenesis [ 10 ] . Inhibition of tumor cell proliferation has been achieved in vivo by systemic treatment with TSP-1 peptide mimetics [ 11 ] , but a correlation between primary tumor TSP-1 expression and poor prognosis has not been clearly established [ 12 ] . While there are reports that these molecules can originate from tumor cells [ 13 ] , the majority of reports have suggested that the major source of both TSP-1 and OPN is tumor-associated stroma [ 14 ] or infiltrating macrophages and lymphocytes [ 15 ] .
Recent studies on Japanese GC patients have showed that increased expression of VEGF and p53 protein accumulation are associated with intra-tumoral angiogenesis (Takeuchi, et al.
Also noteworthy is a report describing bovine lactoferrin as an inhibitor of VEGF-mediated angiogenesis in a rat model [ 29 ] . Intriguingly, a recent report has identified a high molecular weight urinary MMP to be a complex of MMP-9 and LCN2 (herein referred to as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, or NGAL) proteins [ 30 ] . Such urinary MMP complexes have been described as useful markers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
We also identified 4 indirect regulators of EC activation and angiogenesis, i.e., myeloblastin, cathepsin B, calpastatin, and urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor (u-PAR).
