Antiangiogenic activity of semisynthetic biotechnological heparins: low-molecular-weight-sulfated Escherichia coli K5 polysaccharide derivatives as fibroblast growth factor antagonists.
OBJECTIVE Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) exerts antitumor activity in clinical trials. The K5 polysaccharide from Escherichia coli has the same structure as the heparin precursor. Chemical and enzymatic modifications of K5 polysaccharide lead to the production of biotechnological heparin-like compounds. We investigated the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) antagonist and antiangiogenic act...
متن کاملThe antioxidant activity of heparins.
The production of species of oxygen free radicals is a normal consequence of aerobic metabolism, and is also associated with activated macrophages and polymorphonuclear leucocytes. The presence of abnormally high concentrations of such radicals is associated with chronic inflammatory conditions, particularly neoplasia, where radical-generating cells are continuously activated. Sites of chronic ...
متن کاملAntiangiogenic activity of hypoxylonol C.
Hypoxylonol C (1), isolated from the inedible mushroom Hypoxylon truncatum, exhibited inhibitory activities against the migration and tube formation of HUVECs. A cDNA microarray analysis was performed to investigate the target of hypoxylonol C (1) in HUVECs, and it was found that the genes related to cell cycle and adhesion were down-regulated. The down-regulation of mRNA levels of cell cycle a...
متن کاملRe: Antiangiogenic activity of prostate-specific antigen.
Although prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been shown by Fortier et al. (1) to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as metastatic spread, the value of these findings has to be questioned. This skepticism is due to the fact that, in all the experiments carried out, very high concentrations of PSA—equivalent to many thousands of ng/mL—were used. These high con...
متن کاملAntiangiogenic Activity of 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose
BACKGROUND During tumor angiogenesis, endothelial cells (ECs) are engaged in a number of energy consuming biological processes, such as proliferation, migration, and capillary formation. Since glucose uptake and metabolism are increased to meet this energy need, the effects of the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) on in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis were investigated. METHODOLOGY...
