Inhibitory effects of artesunate on angiogenesis and on expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and VEGF receptor KDR/flk-1

Artesunate (ART) is a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin extracted from the plant Artemisia annua is a safe and effective antimalarial drug. In the present investigation, ART was found also to inhibit angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. The anti-angiogenic effect in vivo was evaluated in nude mice by means of human ovarian cancer HO-8910 implantation and immunohistochemical stainings for microvessel (CD(31)), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor KDR/flk-1. Tumor growth was decreased and microvessel density was reduced following drug treatment with no apparent toxicity to the animals. ART also remarkably lowered VEGF expression on tumor cells and KDR/flk-1 expression on endothelial cells as well as tumor cells. The in vitro effect of ART was tested on models of angiogenesis, namely, proliferation, migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The results showed that ART significantly inhibited angiogenesis in a dose-dependent form in the range of 0.5 approximately 50 micromol/l. Additionally, the inhibitory effect of ART on HVUEC proliferation was stronger than that on Hela, JAR, HO-8910 cancer cells, NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells and human endometrial cells, indicating that ART was selectively against HUVEC. These findings and the known low toxicity of ART are clues that ART may be a promising angiogenesis inhibitor.     

Pseudolarix acid B inhibits angiogenesis by antagonizing the vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated anti-apoptotic effect

Angiogenesis is controlled by a number of growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this study, pseudolarix acid B, isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Pseudolarix kaempferi and originally identified as an early pregnancy-terminating agent, was evaluated for its potential as an angiogenesis inhibitor, using in vitro and in vivo models. After exposure to pseudolarix acid B 0.625-5 microM for 72 h, the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells was significantly inhibited. Pseudolarix acid B 0.313-2.5 microM for 24 h potently blocked the VEGF-induced tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Matrigel plug assays disclosed that pseudolarix acid B reduced angiogenesis induced by VEGF in vivo. In addition, pseudolarix acid B antagonized VEGF-mediated anti-apoptotic effects on serum-deprived human umbilical vein endothelial cells and increased apoptosis of endothelial cells induced by VEGF in Matrigel plug assays. Moreover, pseudolarix acid B significantly inhibited VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of kinase insert domain-containing receptor/fetal liver kinase-1 (KDR/flk-1), in correlation with a marked decrease in the phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK). These findings collectively suggest that pseudolarix acid B possesses anti-angiogenic activity. One of the main anti-angiogenesis mechanisms of pseudolarix acid B may involve antagonism of the VEGF-mediated anti-apoptosis effect via inhibition of KDR/flk-1, ERK1/2, and Akt phosphorylation in endothelial cells.     

Inhibition of human cancer cell line growth and human umbilical vein endothelial cell angiogenesis by artemisinin derivatives in vitro.

Artemisinin derivatives artesunate (ART) and dihydroartemisinin are remarkable anti-malarial drugs with low toxicity to humans. In the present investigation, we find they also inhibited tumor cell growth and suppressed angiogenesis in vitro. The anti-cancer activity was demonstrated by inhibition (IC(50)) of four human cancer cell lines: cervical cancer Hela, uterus chorion cancer JAR, embryo transversal cancer RD and ovarian cancer HO-8910 cell lines growth by the MTT assay. IC(50) values ranged from 15.4 to 49.7 microM or from 8.5 to 32.9 microM after treatment with ART or dihydroartemisinin for 48 h, indicating that dihydroartemisinin was more effective than ART in inhibiting cancer cell lines. The anti-angiogenic activities were tested on in vitro models of angiogenesis, namely, proliferation, migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells. We investigated the inhibitory effects of ART and dihydroartemisinin on HUVE cells proliferation by cell counting, migration into the scratch wounded area in HUVE cell monolayers and microvessel tube-like formation on collagen gel. The results showed ART and dihydroartemisinin significantly inhibited angiogenisis in a dose-dependent form in range of 12.5-50 microM and 2.5-50 microM, respectively. They indicated that dihydroartemisinin was more effective than ART in inhibiting angiogenesis either. These results and the known low toxicity are clues that ART and dihydroartemisinin may be promising novel candidates for cancer chemotherapy.

LYG-202, a Newly Synthesized Flavonoid,Exhibits Potent Anti-angiogenic Activity In Vitro and In Vivo

LYG-202 (C₂₅H₃₀N₂O₅) is a newly synthesized flavonoid that has been confirmed to possess an antitumor effect, but the mechanism is unclear. Our present study was performed to identify the anti-angiogenic activity of this novel compound in vitro and in vivo. LYG-202 inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulated migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and arrested microvessel outgrowth from rat aortic rings in vitro. Meanwhile, LYG-202 suppressed the neovascularization of Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane in vivo. Mechanistic studies revealed that LYG-202 suppressed the VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of KDR/Flk-1 (VEGFR-2) as well as its downstream protein kinases activation, by decreasing phosphorylated forms of serine/threonine kinase Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. LYG-202 exerts anti-angiogenic activity both in vitro and in vivo, and these results suggest that it deserves further investigation as a promising anti–tumor angiogenesis compound.

A protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor accelerates angiogenesis in a rat model of hindlimb ischemia

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 (KDR/flk-1) has a tyrosine kinase domain and, once activated, induces the autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues. The phosphorylated KDR/flk-1 can be a substrate for intracellular protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). In the present study, we have examined whether the PTP inhibitor sodium orthovanadate (SOV) activates KDR/flk-1 and accelerates angiogenesis in a rat model of hindlimb ischemia. The left femoral artery was exposed and excised to induce limb ischemia. The PTP activity in ischemic adductors increased, whereas SOV significantly suppressed the increase in the activity. Tyrosine phosphorylation of KDR/flk-1 and Akt phosphorylation significantly increased in the muscles injected with SOV compared with those injected with saline. The amount of VEGF increased in both the muscles injected with SOV and those injected with the saline but did not differ significantly. At 21 days after the induction of ischemia, immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that muscles injected with SOV showed significantly increased capillary density compared with those injected with saline. In a rat model of hindlimb ischemia, not only VEGF but also PTP, which might impair angiogenesis, increased. SOV activated KDR/flk-1 and accelerated angiogenesis. Thus, a PTP inhibitor can be a new drug for therapeutic angiogenesis in peripheral ischemic diseases.     

Inhibition of Tumor Growth and Metastasis by Targeting Tumor-Associated Angiogenesis with Antagonists to the Receptors of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is essential for both tumor growth and metastasis. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the angiogenesis process and its regulation have led to the discovery of a variety of pharmaceutical agents with anti-angiogenic activity. The potential application of these angiogenesis inhibitors is currently under intense clinical and pre-clinical investigation. Compelling evidence suggests that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors play critical roles in tumor-associated angiogenesis, and that they represent good targets for therapeutic intervention. This has been demonstrated in a variety of animal tumor models in which disabling the function of VEGF and its receptors was shown to inhibit both tumor growth and metastasis. We have produced a panel of antibodies directed against the VEGF receptor 2, KDR/Flk-1. These antibodies potently block VEGF/KDR/Flk-1 interaction, and inhibit VEGF-stimulated activation of the receptor and proliferation of human endothelial cells. Further, the antibodies significantly inhibited tumor-associated angiogenesis in several animal models. Antagonists of VEGF and/or its receptors may offer higher specificity towards tumors with reduced side effects, and may be less likely to elicit drug resistance compared to conventional therapy. Anti-angiogenesis therapy represents a novel strategy for the treatment of cancer and other human disorders where pathological angiogenesis is involved.     

Inhibition of tumor-induced angiogenesis and its mechanism by ardipusilloside I purified from Ardisia pusilla

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ardipusilloside I isolated from Ardisia pusilla on tumor angiogenesis and its mechanism of action. The anti-angiogenic effect in vivo was evaluated on xenograft in the athymic mice model and the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) neovascularization model, the inhibition of growth in vitro was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, and the mechanism was demonstrated through detecting microvessel density (MVD), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and P-VEGFR2 protein expressions, as well as mRNA expressions of VEGF and VEGFR2. The results showed that ardipusilloside I had a good inhibitory effect on A549 xenografted tumor growth, angiogenesis of CAM, and A549 cell growth. Compared to the negative control, MVD protein and mRNA expressions of VEGF and VEGFR were significantly inhibited by ardipusilloside I in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggested that ardipusilloside I might be a promising candidate as angiogenesis inhibitors.
