Effects of Inhibitor of Growth 4 on the Proliferation,Migration and Expression of Angiogenesis Related Factors in Endothelial Cells / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of inhibitor of growth 4(ING4)on the proliferation,migration and the expression of angiogenesis related factors such as VEGF,MMP-2,MMP-9 in endothelial cells. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were cultured in vitro;ING4 plasmid and siRNA were constructed and transfected to HUVECs;the proliferation of HUVECs was evaluated by MTT assay;the ability of migration was evaluated by Transwell assay;real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of mRNA and pro-tein of angiogenesis related factors such as VEGF,MMP-2,and MMP-9. Results MTT and Transwell assay showed that ING4 has the ability to inhibit the proliferation and migration of HUVECs,and the results of real-time PCR and Western blotting proved that ING4 can inhibit the expres-sion of angiogenesis related factors such as VEGF,MMP-2,and MMP-9. Conclusion ING4 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of HU-VECs,down-regulate the expression of angiogenesis related factors such as VEGF,MMP-2,MMP-9,and inhibit angiogenesis.
