چکیده
As the pivotal part of cardiovascular angiogenesis, endothelial cells dysfunction is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a tumor growth factor with important roles in cervical tumor formation, invasion, progression and metastasis. However, there was no report on effect of MIF on endothelial cells is unclear, and it is still unknown whether MIF is associated with angiogenesis of endothelial cells. Our study was focused on the effect of MIF and PD98059 on endothelial cells HUVEC cell line, so as to investigate the influence of MIF on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We also explored whether MIF will influence angiogenesis of endothelial cells via ERK/MAPK pathways. Endothelial cells HUVEC cells were conventionally cultured, and Western blot were used to detect the expression of MIF, ERK1 and VEGF proteins after HUVEC cells were intervened by MTT and PD98059. Inter-group difference was statistically assessed. Positive expressions of MIF, ERK1 and VEGF were observed in HUVEC cells. Proliferation activity in MIF group gradually increased after 24 h, 48 h or 72 h treatment (P<0.05). Expressions of ERK1 and VEGF were increased after MIF 48 h treatment (P<0.05). Proliferation activity in PD98059 group gradually decreased after 24 h, 48 h or 72 h treatment (P<0.05). Expressions of ERK1 and VEGF were decreased after MIF 48 h treatment (P<0.05). Compared with control group, expressions of ERK1, IL-2 and VEGF were significantly decreased in both MIF pre-stimulation +PD98059 inhibition group and PD98059 pre-exposure+MIF stimulation group (P<0.05), while no difference was observed between MIF pre-stimulation+PD98059 inhibition group and PD98059 pre-exposure+MIF stimulation group (P>0.05). Expressions of ERK1 and VEGF are involved in the process of endothelial cells HUVEC cell line. MIF is correlated with increased cell proliferation and promoted cardiovascular angiogenesis via ERK/MAPK pathway

Background: Xanthohumol is one of the main bioactive compounds extracted from the female flowers of the hops plant (Humulus lupulus L), that has been shown in several studies to have anti-cancer effects.The MAPK/ERK pathway is one of the key pathways in the regulation of gene expression, cell growth and survival. The abnormal activation of this pathway leads to the uncontrolled cell proliferati...
متن کاملMacrophage migratory inhibitory factor promotes bladder cancer progression via increasing proliferation and angiogenesis.
Macrophage migratory inhibitory factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine shown to promote tumorigenesis. Using the N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine (BBN) model of bladder cancer, we previously showed that MIF knockout mice display decreased angiogenesis and invasion compared with wild-type. This study examines the role of MIF in bladder cancer via use of oral inhibitors of MIF. In vitro...
متن کاملRegulation of IL-1 and TNF receptor expression and function by endogenous macrophage migration inhibitory factor.
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has a key role in regulation of innate and adaptive immunity and is implicated in sepsis, tumorigenesis, and autoimmune disease. MIF deficiency or immunoneutralization leads to protection against fatal endotoxic, exotoxic, and infective shock, and anti-inflammatory effects in other experimental models of inflammatory disease. We report a novel regula...
متن کاملM-CSF Signals through the MAPK/ERK Pathway via Sp1 to Induce VEGF Production and Induces Angiogenesis In Vivo
BACKGROUND M-CSF recruits mononuclear phagocytes which regulate processes such as angiogenesis and metastases in tumors. VEGF is a potent activator of angiogenesis as it promotes endothelial cell proliferation and new blood vessel formation. Previously, we reported that in vitro M-CSF induces the expression of biologically-active VEGF from human monocytes. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS In this stud...

AIMS This study was designed to investigate the effects of Tetraspanin 8 (TSPAN8) overexpression and TSPAN8 suppression on gastric cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, whether extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was involved in TSPAN8's function on gastric cancer cells was examined. METHODS The expression of TSPAN8 in hum...
