A recombinant protein comprising amino acids 1 to 79 of human PRL inhibits the migration of endothelial cells and the endothelial cell expression of vasoinhibin target genes. (a) Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cell (CPAE) monolayers were scratched and treated for 24 h with medium alone (Ctl) or containing transduced HEK293T/17 conditioned media without (Neg) or with the Vi79 or the Vi123 residue vasoinhibins. Representative images of wound sealing at 0 and 24 h. Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) The level of migration into the wound scratch was quantified as the percentage of wound sealing at 24 h relative to respective group value at onset (0 h). Values are means ± SEM of 3 independent experiments (*p < 0.001). (c) Expression of vasoinhibin target genes interleukin-1α (IL1A) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) normalized against cyclophilin A (PPIA). CPAE were treated for 4 h with medium alone (Ctl) or containing conditioned media without (Neg) or with Vi79 or Vi123.Values are means ± SEM of 3 independent experiments (*p < 0.001).
