Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the findings from this study. In GBM, before BBB disruption occurs, PLVAP in the vascular endothelium is negative, Claudin‐5 is positive, and AGP is present only within the blood vessels. Tumor angiogenesis is promoted by VEGF released from tumor cells and GAMs. However, once BBB disruption occurs, the vascular endothelium undergoes abnormal proliferation, PLVAP becomes positive, and Claudin‐5 becomes negative. PLVAP becomes positive. AGP leaks into the tumor stroma, activating GAMs and promoting tumor growth. Bevacizumab normalizes blood vessels, leading to PLVAP negativity and a reduction in GAM activity.
