Abstract:

AIM: To investigate whether sushi repeat-containing protein X-linked 2 (SRPX2) can influence angiogenesis via macrophages, and its potential mechanism. METHODS: After transferring shRNA-SRPX2 and vacant shRNA vector into HCT116 cells, culture medium supernatant was extracted from three types of cells (HCT116-KD, HCT116-NC and HCT116-BC) as the conditioned medium. After culturing THP-1 induced macrophages in the conditioned medium, the macrophages were co-cultured with HUVECs for Transwell migration assay and Matrigel tube formation assay to verify the migration ability and tube formation ability of HUVECs. In addition, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and phosphorylated FAK expression level in macrophages were measured by Western blot after activated by SRPX2 recombinant protein for 4 h. RESULTS:In migration assay, the number of HUVECs migrating to the lower chamber was significantly diminished in HCT116-KD group(P<0.01). In tube formation assay, numbers of junctions, meshes and nodes also decreased in the HCT116-KD group(P<0.05). As for the FAK expression, the expression of FAK as well as the phosphorylated level of FAK in macrophages elevated after interacted with SRPX2 recombination protein.CONCLUSION: SRPX2 can affect angiogenesis via macrophages, which is probably depends on FAK related signal pathways.

Key words: sushi repeat-containing protein X-linked 2 (SRPX2), macrophage, angiogenesis, focal adhesion kinase (FAK)
