ABSTRACT
AIM To investigate the inhibitory effect of extract of fu ng i of huaier (EFH) on neovascularization formed by human umbilical vein endotheli al cells (HUVECs) in vitro. METHODS Using MTT assay, flow cytomet ry and Matrigel assay, the effect of EFH on the proliferation and differentiatio n of HUVECs stimulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were evaluat ed in vitro. RESULTS EFH inhibited proliferation of HUVECs stimul ated by VEGF at the concentration of 0 1 to 10 g?L -1 . The antiproliferat itive effect occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry analyses revea led that EFH treatment delayed S-phase progression. A remarkable inhibition of tube formation was observed in the presence of 1 g?L -1 EFH and complete i nhibition was obtained at 10 g? L -1 EFH. CONCLUSION EFH is able to inhibit neovascularization formed by HUVECs. Its mechanism might be rela ted to S-phase progression.
