Abstract
This study is to investigate the effects of bortezomib on the angiogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We examined the effects of bortezomib on the cellular proliferation, migration, and capillary network formation of HUVECs cocultured with CMs of MSCs. We found that Bortezomib inhibited the cellular proliferation and tube formation of HUVECs cocultured with CMs in a dose-dependent fashion. Bortezomib also prevented the migration of HUVECs cocultured with CMs. In addition, bortezomib dose-dependently inhibited the growth of MSCs and prevented the production of angiogenic factors including VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), HGF (hepatocyte growth factor), and bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) in MSCs. In conclusion, bortezomib prevented the angiogenesis mediated by MSCs.
