Abstract
Angiogenesis involves multiple steps including proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. In the present study, we determined the effect of inostamycin (an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol synthesis) on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Inostamycin significantly attenuated both VEGF-induced proliferation and migration of HUVECs. Inostamycin inhibited activation of mitogen-activated kinases (ERK and p38) and elevation of cyclin D1 induced by VEGF. These data suggest that inostamycin reduced both proliferation and migration of HUVECs by targeting ERK-cyclin D1 and p38, respectively.Entities:
