| Research Abstract |
In the current study, the antiangiogenic effects of ESA were investigated in vitro. ESA also inhibited the formation of capillary-like networks by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and moderately inhibited HUVEC proliferation and migration in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanism by which ESA inhibited angiogenesis was through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ and induction of apoptosis in HUVEC. We thus demonstrated that, like troglitazone, ESA is a PPARγ ligand, and that it activates PPARγ, induces apoptosis in HUVEC, and inhibits angiogenesis. Our findings suggest that ESA has potential use as a therapeutic dietary supplement and medicine for minimizing tumor angiogenesis.
