OBJECTIVETo investigate the potential effects of angiogenic process by secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor-HyPE (linking N-derivatized phosphatidyl-ethanolamine to hyaluronic acid) on human bone marrow endothelial cell line (HBME-1).

METHODSIn order to examine the suppressing effects of HyPE on HBME-1 proliferation, migration, and capillary-like tube formation, HBME-1 were activated hy angiogenic factor, specifically by basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and oncostatin M (OSM) (at a final concentration of 25, 20, and 2.5 ng/mL, respectively), then HBME-1 proliferation, migration, and tube formation were studied in the absence or presence of HyPE. HBME-1 tube formation was specially analyzed in fibrin gel.

RESULTSHyPE effectively inhibited HBME-1 proliferation and migration as a dose-dependent manner, whatever HBME-1 were grown in the control culture medium or stimulated with b-FGF, VEGF, or OSM. In fibrin, the formations of HBME-1 derived tube-like structures were enhanced by all angiogenic factors, but these were strongly suppressed by HyPE.

CONCLUSIONSThe results support the involvement of sPLA2 in angiogenesis. It is proposed that sPLA2 inhibitor introduces a novel approach in the control of cancer development.

Angiogenesis is a necessary step in tumor progression, and it correlates an unfavorable prognosis. In multiple myeloma, bone marrow microvessel density and angiogenesis grading correlated with plasma cell labeling index and are poor survival predictors, but the study of myeloma's angiogenesis is very rare. This article was to study the effect of multiple myeloma cell line conditioned media on the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of human bone marrow endothelial cells (HBMEC). The multiple myeloma cell line conditioned media were obtained by using RPMI 1640 media containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) to cultivate myeloma cell lines for 18 hours. Proliferation and migration of HBMEC were detected by using those media to cultivate HBMEC. Capillary tube formation was performed by using microcarriers cytodex-3 covered with HBMEC in three-dimensional fibrin matrices. The results showed that myeloma conditioned media induced HBMEC's proliferation and migration (P < 0.001), and those media induced capillary tube formation (length and width) of HBMEC (P < 0.001). It was concluded that myeloma cell lines induce HBMEC's proliferation, migration, and capillary tube formation by secreting several cytokines.
