Protein kinase B inhibits endostatin-induced apoptosis in HUVECs.
Endostatin is a tumor-derived angiogenesis inhibitor, and the endogenous 20 kDa carboxyl-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII. In addition to inhibiting angiogenesis,endostatin inhibits tumor growth and the induction of apoptosis in several endothelial cell types. However, the mechanisms that regulate endostatin-induced apoptotic cell death are unclear. Here, we investigated apoptotic cell death...
متن کاملEndostatin-induced tyrosine kinase signaling through the Shb adaptor protein regulates endothelial cell apoptosis.
Endostatin, which corresponds to the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)-induced angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane was inhibited by endostatin, but not by an endostatin mutant R158/270A, lacking heparin-binding ability. Endostatin was internalized by endothelial cells, but not by mouse fibroblasts. T...
متن کاملberberine induced apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting phosphoinositide 3 kinase/protein kinase b (pi3k/akt) signal pathway activation
background: osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor with high mortality but effective therapy has not yet been developed. berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid component in several chinese herbs including huanglian, has been shown to induce growth inhibition and the apoptosis of certain cancer cells. the aim of this study was to determine the role of berberine on human osteosarcoma cell lines u2os and ...
متن کاملEndostatin inhibits bradykinin-induced cardiac contraction
Endogenous fragments of extracellular matrix are known to possess various biological effects. Levels of endostatin, a fragment of collagen type XVIII, increase in certain cardiac diseases, such as cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial infarction. However, the influence of endostatin on cardiac contraction has not been clarified. In the present study, we investigated the effects of endostatin on br...
متن کاملLow shear stress-induced autophagy alleviates cell apoptosis in HUVECs
Low shear stress (LSS) is a well‑established risk factor resulting in endothelial apoptosis and atherosclerosis. Autophagy has been reported to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. However, whether autophagy participates in LSS‑induced atherosclerosis remains unclear. The effect of autophagy and its association with apoptosis, in the development of atherosclerosis, remains controv...
