Popis: | AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) is a novel tumor suppressor gene found in several human cells and its loss/defect is commonly observed in many cancers. However, its roles in angiogenesis, which is one of the hallmarks for tumor progression, remained unclear. Herein, we demonstrated the direct effects of ARID1A knockdown in human endothelial cells by lentivirus-based short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) (shARID1A) on angiogenesis. Functional assays revealed that shARID1A significantly enhanced cell proliferation and migration/invasion and endothelial tube formation compared with the control cells transfected with scramble shRNA (shControl). Additionally, the shARID1A-transfected cells had significantly increased podosome formation and secretion of angiopoietin-2 (ANG2), a key angiogenic factor. Moreover, neutralization of ANG2 with monoclonal anti-ANG2 antibody strongly reduced cell proliferation and migration/invasion and endothelial tube formation in the shARID1A-transfected cells. These findings indicate that down-regulation of ARID1A in human endothelial cells directly induces angiogenesis by regulating angiopoietin-2 secretion and endothelial cell activity. |
