Human umbilical cord vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured without serum and fibroblast growth factor-2 is an in vitro model of ischemic conditions. Our previous study showed that ethyl 3-(o-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (MPD) could inhibit apoptosis of HUVECs in this model. In this study, we investigated the effect of MPD on angiogenesis and the possible mechanisms. Capillary-like tube formation assay on Matrigel and cell migration assay were performed to investigate the effect of MPD on angiogenesis. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) levels were respectively evaluated by intracellular ROS assay and western blot analysis. MPD at 5 and 10 ??M promoted vascular structure formation and HUVEC migration in an in vitro ischemic model. MPD promoted angiogenesis through elevating ROS levels and depressing IP-10 level. ROS seemed to be necessary for angiogenesis, and a high level of IP-10 inhibited angiogenesis in ischemic state. ROS provide clues for seeking new key factors involved in angiogenesis. IP-10 may become a new target for future therapeutic intervention. MPD is a good tool for investigating the mechanism of angiogenesis, and MPD might be useful in the development of new drugs in therapy of ischemic diseases. 相似文献

IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via inhibition of angiogenesis. 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
M P Keane J A Belperio D A Arenberg M D Burdick Z J Xu Y Y Xue R M Strieter 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1999,163(10):5686-5692
Few studies have addressed the importance of vascular remodeling in the lung during the development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (BPF). For fibroplasia and deposition of extracellular matrix to occur, there must be a geometric increase in neovascularization. We hypothesized that net angiogenesis during the pathogenesis of fibroplasia and deposition of extracellular matrix during BPF are dependent in part on a relative deficiency of the angiostatic CXC chemokine, IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10). To test this hypothesis, we measured IP-10 by specific ELISA in whole lung homogenates in either bleomycin-treated or control mice and correlated these levels with lung hydroxyproline. We found that lung tissue from mice treated with bleomycin, compared with that from saline-treated controls, demonstrated a decrease in the presence of IP-10 that was correlated to a greater angiogenic response and total lung hydroxyproline content. Systemic administration of IP-10 significantly reduced BPF without any alteration in lung lymphocyte or NK cell populations. This was also paralleled by a reduction in angiogenesis. Furthermore, IP-10 had no direct effect on isolated pulmonary fibroblasts. These results demonstrate that the angiostatic CXC chemokine, IP-10, inhibits fibroplasia and deposition of extracellular matrix by regulating angiogenesis. 相似文献

N-terminal truncation of chemokines by proteases including dipeptidyl peptidase (DP) IV significantly alters their biological activity; generally ablating cognate G-protein coupled receptor engagement and often generating potent receptor antagonists. DP8 is a recently recognised member of the prolyl oligopeptidase gene family that includes DPIV. Since DPIV is known to process chemokines we surveyed 27 chemokines for cleavage by DP8. We report DP8 cleavage of the N-terminal two residues of IP10 (CXCL10), ITAC (CXCL11) and SDF-1 (CXCL12). This has implications for DP8 substrate specificity. Chemokine cleavage and inactivation may occur in vivo upon cell lysis and release of DP8 or in the inactivation of internalized chemokine/receptor complexes. 相似文献

CD69 is thought to be a pluripotent signaling molecule expressed on the surface of a number of activated leukocytes including B, T, and NK cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and platelets. While some advances have been made regarding the mechanisms by which CD69 may participate in such diverse functions as cell aggregation, cellular cytotoxicity, and release of cytokines and inflammatory mediators, the most proximal links of signal initiation have not been identified. Our study has identified, by immunoprecipitation and direct protein sequencing (LC/MS/MS), binding of CD69 to an N-terminal protein fragment of calreticulin expressed on the cell surface of human PBMCs. Given the recently identified roles calreticulin plays in cell adhesion and angiogensis, the identification of CD69 binding directly to calreticulin may provide insights into mechanism(s) by which CD69 or other CD69 family members, i.e., LLT1 and AICL participates in such diverse functions. 相似文献

The ER resident protein calreticulin fulfills at least two important roles. It works as a chaperone preventing Golgi exit of non-native protein species and enhancing protein folding efficiency in either N-glycan-dependent, lectin chaperone, or classical chaperone, N-glycan-independent, modes and is one of the main calcium buffers in the cell. This last feature is independent from the lectin chaperone properties of the protein as this last activity is also observed in a CRT fragment lacking calcium buffer capacity. Here we study the interplay between calcium and the lectin and chaperone activities of CRT. The affinity of CRT for monoglucosylated glycans measured in solution by equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence anisotropy was not affected by the absence of calcium. Binding of CRT to monoglucosylated neoglycoproteins displaying either native or molten globule-like conformations was also independent of calcium concentration. Moreover, calcium and monoglucosylated glycans stabilized the CRT structure in an apparent additive, independent manner when the protein was subjected to thermal or urea-induced denaturation. In addition, the ability of CRT to decrease the level of aggregation of a chemically denatured monoglucosylated and nonglycosylated protein was also independent of calcium level. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key stimulant of angiogenesis, which is the process of generating new capillary blood vessels. Inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) kinase is known to result in blockage of angiogenesis. A pharmacophore was developed based on the binding of ATP to the hinge region of the kinase domain of VEGFR and a database search of 18,000 compounds was conducted. Selected hits were assessed for their ability to limit the induction of web-like network of capillary tubes by the human umbilical vascular endothelial cells. Two compounds (1 and 4) showed good inhibitory ability to prevent sprouting and closed polygon formation of the tubular networks, promising them to be lead compounds. Compound 4 showed 60% inhibition at 0.05 microM. 相似文献

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is an integral part of physiological processes such as embryonic development, the female reproductive cycle and wound healing. Angiogenesis is also central to a variety of pathologies including cancer, where it is recognised as being crucial for the growth of solid tumours. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of soluble and membrane-anchored proteolytic enzymes that can degrade components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as a growing number of modulators of cell function. Several of the MMPs, most notably MMP-2 and -9 and membrane-type-1 MMP (MT1-MMP), have been linked to angiogenesis. Potential roles for these proteases during the angiogenic process include degradation of the basement membrane and perivascular ECM components, liberation of angiogenic factors, production of endogenous angiogenic inhibitors, and the unmasking of cryptic biologically relevant sites in ECM components. This review brings together what is currently known about the functions of the MMPs and the closely related adamalysin metalloproteinase (ADAM) family in angiogenesis, and discusses how this information might be useful in manipulation of the angiogenic process, with a view to controlling aberrant neovascularisation. 相似文献

Boswellin (BE), a methanol extract of the gum resin exudate of Boswellia serrata, contains naturally occurring triterpenoids, beta-boswellic acid and its structural related derivatives, has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory and arthritic diseases. Topical application of BE to the backs of mice markedly inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced increases in skin inflammation, epidermal proliferation, the number of epidermal cell layers, and tumor promotion in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-initiated mice. Feeding 0.2% of BE in the diet to CF-1 mice for 10-24 weeks reduced the accumulation of parametrial fat pad weight under the abdomen, and inhibited azoxymethane (AOM)-induced formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) by 46%. Addition of pure beta-boswellic acid, 3-O-acetyl-beta-boswellic acid, 11-keto-beta-boswellic acid or 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid to human leukemia HL-60 cell culture inhibited DNA synthesis in HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values ranging from 0.6 to 7.1 microM. These results indicate that beta-boswellic acid and its derivatives (the major constituents of Boswellin) have anti-carcinogenic, anti-tumor, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities. 相似文献

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have proven to be promising targets for the development of anti-cancer drugs. In this study, we reported a series of novel chalcone based tubulin and HDAC dual-targeting inhibitors. Three compounds inhibited the activities of HDAC and tubulin polymerization simultaneously and displayed anti-proliferative activities toward eleven human tumor cell lines. Compound 8a remarkably induced growth inhibition, apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest of A549 tumor cells. Finally, the inhibitory activities of 8a against HDAC6 and tubulin were rationalized by molecular docking studies. 相似文献

Endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors and their therapeutic implications 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

A number of endogenous inhibitors targeting the tumor vasculature have recently been identified using in vitro and in vivo antiangiogenesis models. While many of these angiogenesis inhibitors display a broad spectrum of biological actions on several systems in the body, several inhibitors including angiostatin, endostatin, and serpin antithrombin seem to act specifically on the proliferating endothelial cell compartment of the newly formed blood vessels. The discovery of these specific endothelial inhibitors not only increases our understanding of the functions of these molecules in the regulation of physiological and pathological angiogenesis, but may also provide an important therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer and other angiogenesis dependent diseases, including diabetic retinopathy and chronic inflammations. Systemic administration of these angiogenesis inhibitors in animals significantly suppresses the growth of a variety of tumors and their metastases. However, their production as functional recombinant proteins has been proven to be difficult. In addition, high dosages of these inhibitors are required to suppress tumor growth in animal studies. Other disadvantages of the antiangiogenic protein therapy include repeated injections, prolonged treatment, transmission of toxins and infectious particles, and high cost for manufacturing large amounts of protein molecules. Thus, alternative strategies need to be developed in order to improve the clinical settings of antiangiogenic therapy. Developments of these strategies are ongoing and they include identification of more potent inhibitors, antiangiogenic gene therapy, improvement of protein/compound half-lives in the circulation, increase of their concentrations at the disease location, and combinatorial therapies with approaches including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Despite the above-mentioned disadvantages, a few inhibitors have entered into the early stages of clinical trials and they may bring new hopes for the treatment of cancer and other angiogenesis dependent diseases. 相似文献

Over the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in the identification of anti-angiogenic fragments from larger proteins with unrelated functions. These cryptic anti-angiogenic molecules are largely derived from matrix components such as collagen and fibronectin, as well as from circulating proteins and some intracellular proteins. Here, we discuss the relevance of these developments in terms of their physiological roles and possible therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Endostatins are inhibitors of endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis and have been shown to reduce tumor growth in animal models. They are derived from the nontriplehelical C-terminal NC1 domains of collagens XV and XVIII, which are released proteolytically in trimeric form and further converted to monomeric endostatins of about 20 kDa. Both endostatin isoforms share a compact globular fold, but differ in certain binding properties for proteins and cells, as well as in tissue distribution. Differences in activity were found between NC1 domains and endostatins and are related to the oligomerization state. Endostatin effects are not restricted to endothelial cells, but also control renal epithelial cells and neuronal guidance in C. elegans. Cellular receptors are still insufficiently characterized and include for endostatin-XVIII heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Receptor engagement elicits various downstream effects including tyrosine kinase and gene activation. Much remains to be learned, however, about details of the signal transduction cascades and how they interfere with pro-angiogenic factors under physiological conditions and during therapeutic treatment. 相似文献

Disruption of the quiescent state of blood vessels in the retina leads to aberrant vasopermeability and angiogenesis, the major causes of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy. Prolactin is expressed throughout the retina, where it is proteolytically cleaved to vasoinhibins, a family of peptides (including the 16-kDa fragment of prolactin) with potent antiangiogenic, vasoconstrictive, and antivasopermeability actions. Ocular vasoinhibins act directly on endothelial cells to block blood vessel growth and dilation and to promote apoptosis-mediated vascular regression. Also, vasoinhibins prevent retinal angiogenesis and vasopermeability associated with diabetic retinopathy, and inactivation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase via protein phosphatase 2A is among the various mechanisms mediating their actions. Here, we discuss the potential role of vasoinhibins both in the maintenance of normal retinal vasculature and in the cause and prevention of diabetic retinopathy and other vasoproliferative retinopathies. 相似文献

Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) kinase blocks angiogenesis, the process of generating new capillary blood vessels that are important in tumor growth. To identify small molecule inhibitors of the VEGFR2 kinase, we undertook a computer assisted fragment-based screening that used 3-D structural models of the VEGFR2 kinase, and hinge region as a fragment anchor point. Seven novel non-cytotoxic compounds were identified which limited the induction of capillary networks by human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the low micromolar range. 相似文献

The first step of protein synthesis is catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. In addition, certain mammalian tRNA synthetases link protein synthesis to cytokine signaling pathways. In particular, human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) can be split by proteolysis into two fragments having distinct cytokine activities. One of the TyrRS fragments (mini TyrRS) contains features identical to those in CXC chemokines (like interleukin-8) that also act as angiogenic factors. Here mini TyrRS (but not full-length TyrRS) is shown to stimulate chemotaxis of endothelial cells in vitro and stimulate angiogenesis in each of two in vivo animal models. The angiogenic activity of mini TyrRS can be opposed by anti-angiogenic chemokines like IP-10. Thus, a biological fragment of human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase links protein synthesis to regulation of angiogenesis. 相似文献
