Abstract

Endostatin derived from collagen XVIII is a potent endogenous anti-angiogenic factor that induces regression of various tumors of epithelial origin. Endostatin has been shown to inhibit endothelial cell functions, however, its effect remains controversial. We first attempted here to apply the inhibitory effect of recombinant human endostatin on chondrosarcomas, which originate from the mesenchyme, in nude mice. Endostatin induced reduction of chondrosarcoma growth and tumor angiogenesis in vivo. However, endostatin showed no effect on the proliferation and migration of chondrosarcoma cells in vitro. Next, we investigated the interactions between endostatin and endothelial cells in detail. Endostatin inhibited the migration on and attachment to collagen I but did not affect the proliferation of endothelial cells. Although the migration of endothelial cells was stimulated by angiogenic factors such as basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor, endostatin showed similar inhibitory effects on it in the presence and absence of the stimulants. Moreover, the inhibitory effect against endothelial cell attachment to collagen I was attenuated or modulated in the presence of neutralizing antibodies of alpha(2),...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
