Retinal angiogenesis is tightly regulated to meet oxygenation and nutritional requirements. In diseases such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy and neovascular age-related macular degeneration, uncontrolled angiogenesis can lead to blindness. Our goal is to better understand the molecular processes controlling retinal angiogenesis and discover novel drugs that inhibit retinal neovascularization. Phenotype-based chemical screens were performed using the ChemBridge Diverset(TM)library and inhibition of hyaloid vessel angiogenesis in Tg(fli1:EGFP) zebrafish. 2-[(E)-2-(Quinolin-2-yl)vinyl]phenol, (quininib) robustly inhibits developmental angiogenesis at 4-10 μmin zebrafish and significantly inhibits angiogenic tubule formation in HMEC-1 cells, angiogenic sprouting in aortic ring explants, and retinal revascularization in oxygen-induced retinopathy mice. Quininib is well tolerated in zebrafish, human cell lines, and murine eyes. Profiling screens of 153 angiogenic and inflammatory targets revealed that quininib does not directly target VEGF receptors but antagonizes cysteinyl leukotriene receptors 1 and 2 (CysLT1-2) at micromolar IC50values. In summary, quininib is a novel anti-angiogenic small-molecule CysLT receptor antagonist. Quininib inhibits angiogenesis in a range of cell and tissue systems, revealing novel physiological roles for CysLT signaling. Quininib has potential as a novel therapeutic agent to treat ocular neovascular pathologies and may complement current anti-VEGF biological agents.
视网膜血管生成受到严格调控,以满足氧合和营养需求。在增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变和新生血管性年龄相关性黄斑变性等疾病中,不受控制的血管生成会导致失明。我们的目标是更好地理解控制视网膜血管生成的分子过程,并发现抑制视网膜新生血管形成的新型药物。使用ChemBridge Diverset(TM)文库和Tg(fli1:EGFP)斑马鱼中玻璃体血管生成的抑制进行基于表型的化学筛选。2-[(E)-2-(喹啉-2-基)乙烯基]苯酚(喹尼inib)在4-10μM时能强烈抑制斑马鱼的发育血管生成,并显著抑制HMEC-1细胞中的血管生成小管形成、主动脉环外植体中的血管生成芽生以及氧诱导视网膜病变小鼠中的视网膜血管再生。喹尼inib在斑马鱼、人类细胞系和小鼠眼中耐受性良好。对153个血管生成和炎症靶点的分析筛选表明,喹尼inib不直接靶向VEGF受体,而是在微摩尔IC50值下拮抗半胱氨酰白三烯受体1和2(CysLT1-2)。总之,喹尼inib是一种新型的抗血管生成小分子CysLT受体拮抗剂。喹尼inib在一系列细胞和组织系统中抑制血管生成,揭示了CysLT信号传导的新生理作用。喹尼inib有潜力作为一种新型治疗剂来治疗眼部新生血管疾病,并且可能补充当前的抗VEGF生物制剂。
