Popis: Tumor growth and progression in breast cancer is dependent on angiogenesis, the growth of new vasculature from pre-existing vessels. Since invasive and in situ breast cancers express many angiogenic factors, we examined the profiles of angiogenesis-related proteins in the conditioned media from multiple breast cancer cell lines and their effect on activating receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC). Antibody arrays were used to measure the secretion of multiple angiogenic factors including VEGF, TIMP-1, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, THSP-1, Angiogenin, and CXCL16. We then tested the capacity of these breast cancer cell line supernatants to induce receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) phosphorylation in endothelial cells. After treatment with conditioned media, an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGF R1 and VEGF R2 was observed using both antibody arrays and ELISA. Select small molecule VEG FR inhibitors were then screened for their effect on tyrosine phosphorylation events. Axitinib, Ki8751, and Sunitib effectively reduced VEGFR phosphorylation induced in endothelial cells by angiogenic factors released from these breast cancer lines. Citation Format: David J.
