In order to unveil the anti-angiogenic mechanism of triptolide, we investigated the effects of triptolide on the proliferation, migration, angiogenesis and u-PA expression of cultured HUVECs. MTT assay found that triptolide could inhibit the proliferation of HUVECs, and three-dimensional culture system revealed that triptolide could curb the migration of HUVECs. The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) test showed that triptolide could inhibit angiogenesis. Real time quantitive RT-PCR showed the expression of u-PA of HUVECs was down-regulated by triptolide. Therefore, triptolide may inhibit the proliferation and migration of endothelial cell by way of reducing the expression of u-PA. These findings may conduce to the elucidation of the anti-angiogenic mechanism of triptolide.
为揭示雷公藤甲素的抗血管生成机制，我们研究了雷公藤甲素对培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞（HUVECs）增殖、迁移、血管生成及尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂（u-PA）表达的影响。MTT 法检测发现雷公藤甲素可抑制 HUVECs 的增殖，三维培养系统显示雷公藤甲素可抑制 HUVECs 的迁移。鸡胚绒毛尿囊膜（CAM）试验表明雷公藤甲素可抑制血管生成。实时定量 RT-PCR 显示雷公藤甲素可下调 HUVECs 中 u-PA 的表达。因此，雷公藤甲素可能通过降低 u-PA 的表达来抑制内皮细胞的增殖和迁移。这些发现可能有助于阐明雷公藤甲素的抗血管生成机制。
