| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have found that human cardiac fibroblasts, which were unknown in many of the characteristics, inhibit the network formation of various human vascular endothelial cells in co-culture condition. This suggests that cardiac fibroblasts possess angiogenesis inhibitory function as a phenotype and we have succeeded in identifying LYPD1 as a responsible factor for the angiogenesis inhibitory action of human cardiac fibroblasts. Since endothelial cell network formation and tube formation were also attenuated in the presence of recombinant LYPD1 even without the existence of cardiac fibroblasts, LYPD1 protein has an angiogenesis inhibitory function. The findings in the present study are expected not only for regenerative medicine but also the development of new therapeutic methods to induce angiogenesis by suppressing angiogenesis inhibitory action of LYPD1.
