Objective:
To investigate the potential effects of angiogenic process by secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor-HyPE (linking N-derivatized phosphatidyl-ethanolamine to hyaluronic acid) on human bone marrow endothelial cell line (HBME-1).
Methods:
In order to examine the suppressing effects of HyPE on HBME-1 proliferation, migration, and capillary-like tube formation, HBME-1 were activated hy angiogenic factor, specifically by basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and oncostatin M (OSM) (at a final concentration of 25, 20, and 2.5 ng/mL, respectively), then HBME-1 proliferation, migration, and tube formation were studied in the absence or presence of HyPE. HBME-1 tube formation was specially analyzed in fibrin gel.
Results:
HyPE effectively inhibited HBME-1 proliferation and migration as a dose-dependent manner, whatever HBME-1 were grown in the control culture medium or stimulated with b-FGF, VEGF, or OSM. In fibrin, the formations of HBME-1 derived tube-like structures were enhanced by all angiogenic factors, but these were strongly suppressed by HyPE.
Conclusions:
The results support the involvement of sPLA2 in angiogenesis. It is proposed that sPLA2 inhibitor introduces a novel approach in the control of cancer development.
