چکیده

This study was designed to screen potential safe and effective inhibitors of lymphangiogenesis. Lymphatic endothelial cells from pig thoracic duct were isolated and cultured. The control group, 3 endostatin, and 3 PF-4 experimental groups were tested for effects on proliferation and distance of migration of the cultured cells by two methods (method of the scraping line and MTT assay), and observations by light, confocal, and electron microscopy were also made. Total cells migrating past the scrape line for the endostatin control group was 28.6 +/- 1.2 (mean +/- standard error) and the 3 endostatin experimental groups (50 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml, and 150 ng/ml), respectively, were 17.5 +/- 0.6, 10.5 +/- 0.5, and 4.8 +/- 0.3 (all p < 0.05 cf control). Migration distance for the endostatin control group was 381.7 +/- 9.67 microm, and the migration distance of the 3 endostatin experimental groups, respectively, were 252.9 +/- 5.58, 164.5 +/- 7.09, and 91.2 +/- 7.98 microm (all p < 0.05). Cell migration number for the PF-4 control group was 28.3 +/- 1.0 compared with doses of 40 ng/ml, 80 ng/ml, or 120 ng/ml of PF-4, respectively, were 13.6 +/- 0.7, 9.5 +/- 0.6, and 4.6 +/- 0.4 (all p < 0.05 cf control). Migration distance of cells in PF-4 control group was 419.9 +/- 5.87 microm, and the 3 PF-4 experimental groups, respectively, were 199.2 +/- 8.16, 152.5 +/- 7.28, and 104.2 +/- 6.70 microm (all p < 0.05 cf control). The MTT assay confirmed that as the concentrations of endostatin and PF-4 were increased, the inhibitory effect was increased. We conclude that endostatin and PF-4 are able to inhibit the migration and proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells, and these effects are dose-dependent.

Stimulation and inhibition of angiogenesis in diabetic retinopathy.

PURPOSE To investigate the role of stimulators and inhibitors of angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Undiluted vitreous samples and simultaneous paired plasma samples were obtained from 30 diabetic patients (35 eyes) undergoing vitreous surgery. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endostatin, and platelet factor-4 (PF-4) were measured simulta...

Endostatin overexpression inhibits lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis in mice.

Endostatin, a proteolytic fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth. We studied the development of carcinogen-induced skin tumors in transgenic J4 mice overexpressing endostatin in their keratinocytes. Unexpectedly, we did not observe any differences in tumor incidence and multiplicity between these and control mice, nor in the rate of conversion of beni...

Endostatin: An Endogenous Inhibitor of Angiogenesis and Tumor Growth

We previously identified the angiogenesis inhibitor angiostatin. Using a similar strategy, we have identified endostatin, an angiogenesis inhibitor produced by hemangioendothelioma. Endostatin is a 20 kDa C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII. Endostatin specifically inhibits endothelial proliferation and potently inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth. By a novel method of sustained release, E...

Role of endostatin in cardiovascular remodeling.

umor growth is accompanied by angiogenesis, and because surgical removal of certain tumors may lead to rapid growth of remote metastases, endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors may be secreted from the tumor. The endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, angiostatin, was identified in urine in 1994, and a more potent angiogenesis inhibitor, endostatin, was discovered in 1997 in the conditioned media of cu...
