The present work was an endeavor to evaluate the influence of bee venom (BV) or its major constituent melittin (MEL) as antiapoptotic and angiogenic regulator modifier on the tumor growth and the cell sensitivity to ionizing radiation targeting the improvement of cancer therapeutic protocols. BV (0.56 mg\/kg\/day) and MEL (500 \u00b5g\/kg body weight\/day) were injected intraperitoneally to mice bearing 1 cm\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    solid tumor of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) for 21 consecutive days. Mice were whole-body exposed to 1 Gray (Gy) of \u03b3-radiation (2 fractionated doses). Treatment with BV or MEL markedly suppresses the proliferation of tumor in EAC mice. The concentrations of m-RNA for angiogenic factors (TNF-\u03b1, VEGF) as well as MMPs 2 and 9 activities and NO concentration were significantly decreased, combined with improvements in apoptotic regulators (caspase-3 activity) and normal cells redox tone (catalase and free radicals content) compared with EAC mice. Moreover, the histopathological investigation confirms the improvement exerted by BV or MEL in the EAC mice group or EAC + R group. Exposure to \u03b3-radiation sustained the modulatory effect of BV on tumor when compared with EAC + BV mice. Convincingly, the role of BV or MEL as a natural antiangiogenic in the biological sequelae after radiation exposure is verified. Hence, BV and its major constituent MEL might represent a potential therapeutic strategy for increasing the radiation response of solid tumors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1534735420944476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,31]],"date-time":"2020-07-31T14:15:48Z","timestamp":1596204948000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Role of Bee Venom and Melittin on Restraining Angiogenesis and Metastasis in \u03b3-Irradiated Solid Ehrlich Carcinoma-Bearing Mice"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0128-3159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nermeen M.","family":"El Bakary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre for Radiation Research and Technology, Atomic Energy Authority, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asmaa Z.","family":"Alsharkawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeinab A.","family":"Shouaib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emad M.
