Abstract:
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ethanol extract from Brucea javanicaseed (EEBJS) on the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the possible molecular signal involved. Firstly, a Matrigel-based in vitro angiogenesis assay demonstrated that EEBJS inhibited the angiogenesis of HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner. Then by using porcine aortic endothelial cells which stably express human PDGFR-beta, we found that the inhibition of angiogenesis was mediated by PDGFR-beta. Taken together, we conclude that EEBJS inhibited the angiogenesis function of the vascular endothelial cells mediated by PDGFR-beta, and postulate that it might contribute to the therapeutic effects of EEBJS on malignant tumors.
