A study on the effect of Genistein on migration of endothelial cells induced by human ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3
Objective:To investigate the effect of Genistein on migration of human endothelial cells ECV-304 induced by human ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma cell line SKOV
3
and to explore the mechanism of anti-angiogenesis of Genistein.Methods:Millicell chamber and coculture method were used to observe the influence on migration of ECV-304 induced by SKOV
3
cells or its conditioned media
and the effect of Genistein on migration of ECV-304 induced by SKOV
3
cells or its conditioned media without serum.The expression of angiogenesis associated protein VEGF
bFGF and TGFβ-1 were determined using immunocytochemical method.Results:Either SKOV
3
cells or its conditioned media could induce the committed chemotactic migration of ECV-304.The chemotactic migrations of ECV-304 induced by SKOV
3
or its conditioned media were significantly inhibited by Genistein in a dose-dependent manner.20μmol/L Genistein could down-regulate the expression of VEGF and bFGF;up-regulate the expression of TGFβ-1.Conclusion:Migrations of ECV-304 induced by human ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV
3
or its conditioned media were apparently inhibited by Genistein.It suggests that this inhibitory effect of Genistein is completed by down-regulating the expression of vessel growth-promoting factor VEGF and bFGF
and up-regulating the expression of negative regulator TGFβ-1.This may be one of the mechanisms of anti-angiogenesis of Genistein.
