Inhibitors of the Angiogenesis Pathway
Inhibitor | Cell Type | Process Inhibited | Pathway | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
Stigmatellin | WT cybrids; in vitro | Inhibits HIF-1α stabilization and accumulation | Binding to Qo site inhibits mROS production | [17] |
Terpestacin in vivo | Murine FM3A breast cancer cells; in vivo | Inhibits tumor angiogenesis | Inhibition of HIF-1α Mediated VEGF expression | [27] |
Terpestacin in vitro | Human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells, HUVECs; in vitro | Inhibits VEGF production; inhibits tube formation and angiogenesis by HUVECs | Decreases mROS levels by inhibiting UQCRB which inhibits HIF-1α stabilization and accumulation, inhibiting VEGF production | [27] |
Uqcrb-MO | Zebrafish embryos | Inhibits VEGF production | Gene knockdown of uqcrb gene leads to decreased expression of vegfa gene | [28] |
siUQCRB | HUVECs; in vitro | Inhibits endothelial cell invasiveness through inhibition of ERK and Akt pathways | Gene knockdown of uqcrb leads to decreased mROS levels, decreased activation of VEGFR2 | [29] |
Rotenone and thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) | Cardiomyocytes; in vitro | Inhibits mROS production | Inhibits formation of ubiquinol by preventing transfer of electrons from Complex I and Complex II | [40] |
Matairesinol | HUVECs; in vitro and in vivo | Inhibits HUVEC tube formation | Inhibits mROS production which decreases HIF-1α stabilization and VEGF production | [74] |
GPX1 and catalase | A549 adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells; in vitro | Inhibits HIF-1α stabilization and survival | Breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water which prevents breakdown of prolyl hydroxylase | [76] |
