Abstrakt:	Promoting the establishment of collateral circulation is essential for chronic lower extremity ischemia. However, no effective therapeutic drugs have yet been developed. Recent studies discovered that in the peripheral arteries, there are γ-aminobutyric acid B1 (GABAB1) receptors expressed in endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, these receptors may have some effects in regulating vascular functions, but the precise mechanism is not yet clear. This study explores the effect of GABAB1 receptor inhibition on angiogenesis and its regulatory mechanism. The expression of GABAB1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was knocked down using shRNA transfection, and effects on HUVECs' proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability were detected. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to verify the signal pathway. The murine hind limb ischemia model was used to verify the effect of CGP35348, an antagonist of GABAB1R, on the recovery of blood flow perfusion and angiogenesis in ischemic tissues. Cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability were improved after GABAB1 receptor knockdown in HUVECs. The phosphorylation of the HIPPO/Yes-associated protein (YAP) pathway decreased, while the effect of promoting angiogenesis increased. After treating the ischemic hindlimbs of mice with GABAB1 receptor antagonists, the blood flow perfusion recovered and the angiogenesis increased. These findings demonstrate the effect of GABAB1 receptor inhibition on the HIPPO/YAP pathway in regulating angiogenesis, suggesting that inhibiting GABAB1 receptor levels might be a novel approach for chronic lower extremity ischemia diseases.
