Angiogenic activity of multiple myeloma endothelial cells in vivo in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay is associated to a down-regulation in the expression of endogenous endostatin

چکیده
We have attempted a fine characterization of the angiogenic response induced by multiple myeloma endothelial cells (MMEC) by using the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results showed that in the CAM assay MMEC induced an angiogenic response comparable to that of a well-known angiogenic cytokine, namely fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), while RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression of endostatin mRNA detected in MM treated CAM was significantly lower respect to control CAM. These data suggest that angiogenic switch in MM may involve loss of an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, such as endostatin.

Background: Bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, chondroitin sulfate, and polysaccharides with added value can be found in prestine marine creatures. These compounds often do have highly valuable therapeutic applications such as being antioxidant, antitumorogenic, anti-infl ammatory and anti-angiogenic. For the latter, varieties of angiogenesis factors can suppress this issu...

Bone marrow angiogenesis plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression in multiple myeloma. Recent studies have shown that proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade, formerly PS-341) can overcome conventional drug resistance in vitro and in vivo; however, its antiangiogenic activity in the bone marrow milieu has not yet been defined. In the present study, we examined the effects of...
