Ethyl Pyruvate Inhibits Retinal Pathogenic Neovascularization by Downregulating HMGB1 Expression
Retinal pathogenic angiogenesis in the eyes is a causative factor in retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. This study was designed to examine the pathogenic role of the high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein and the inhibitory effect of ethyl pyruvate (EP), a well-known antioxidant substance, in retinal pathogenic angiogenesis in mice with ox...
متن کاملCyclosporine A inhibits breast cancer cell growth by downregulating the expression of pyruvate kinase subtype M2.
The high proliferative rate of tumor cells leads to metabolic needs distinct from those of their normal counterparts. An embryonic- and tumor-specific isoform of the enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is overexpressed in cancer cells to increase the use of glycolytic intermediates for macromolecular biosynthesis and tumor growth. We report that Cycl...
متن کاملEthyl pyruvate administration inhibits hepatic tumor growth.
EP is a potent inhibitor of HMGB1 release that has significant anti-inflammatory activities and exerts a protective effect in animal models of inflammation. As inflammation is linked to cancer growth, we hypothesized that EP would have anti-tumor activity and explored its effects in a liver tumor model. Mice injected intraportally with MC38 colorectal cancer cells led to the growth of visible h...
متن کاملHMGB1 targeting by ethyl pyruvate suppresses malignant phenotype of human mesothelioma
Human malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive cancer linked to asbestos and erionite exposure. We previously reported that High-Mobility Group Box-1 protein (HMGB1), a prototypic damage-associated molecular pattern, drives MM development and sustains MM progression. Moreover, we demonstrated that targeting HMGB1 inhibited MM cell growth and motility in vitro, reduced tumor growth in vivo, ...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelial cell expression of active Rap 1a by scAAV2 inhibits choroidal neovascularization
To test the hypothesis that increased Rap1a activity specifically in retinal pigment epithelial cells resists choroidal neovascularization (CNV), self-complementary adeno-associated virus 2 (scAAV2) with RPE65-promoter-driven GFP vectors were generated and introduced subretinally into Rap1b-deficient mice. Six-week-old mice that received subretinal control (scAAV2-Con) or constitutively active ...
