摘要: Magnolol, a hydroxylated biphenyl compound isolated from Magnolia officinalis, has been reported to possess anticancer activity. Recent studies have also demonstrated that magnolol inhibits cell growth and induces the apoptosis of cancer cells. However, effects on vascular endothelial factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in cells not studied. In present study, we used human umbilical vein (HUVECs) investigate antiangiogenic effect molecular mechanism magnolol. Magnolol inhibited VEGF-induced proliferation, chemotactic motility tube formation HUVECs vitro as well vessel sprouting aorta ex vivo. Furthermore, Ras activation subsequently suppressed extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt p38, but Src focal adhesion (FAK). Interestingly, knockdown by short interfering RNA produced inhibitor...
