Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is implicated in the angiogenesis of human colon cancer. Recent evidence suggests that factors that regulate VEGF expression may partially depend on c-src-mediated signal transduction pathways. The tyrosine kinase activity of Src is activated in most colon tumors and cell lines. We established stable subclones of the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT29 in which Src expression and activity are decreased specifically as a result of a transfected antisense expression vector. This study determined whether VEGF expression is decreased in these cell lines and whether the smaller size and reduced growth rate of antisense vector-transfected cell lines in vivo might result, in part, from reduced vascularization of tumors. Northern blot analysis of these cell lines revealed that VEGF mRNA expression was decreased in proportion to the decrease in Src kinase activity. Under hypoxic conditions, cells with decreased Src activity had a <2-fold increase in VEGF expression, whereas parental cells had a >50-fold increase. VEGF protein in the supernatants of cells was also reduced in antisense transfectants compared with that from parental cells. In nude mice, subcutaneous tumors from antisense tran...Continue Reading
