Abstract: | Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a well-known humoral protein that induces growth of neurons. Recent studies have suggested that BDNF could act as an angiogenesis inducer similar to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Angiogenin is a strong mediator of angiogenesis. It has particular characteristics both as a secreted protein and a transcription factor. After being incorporated into the cytoplasm, angiogenin is immediately transferred to the nucleus and then mediates the angiogenic effects of angiogenesis inducers, including VEGF. The aim of this study is to determine the association between BDNF and angiogenin. At first, we determined the secretion of angiogenin from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by BDNF with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Next, we determined BDNF-induced nuclear translocation of angiogenin by immunofluorescent staining. In addition, we examined the mRNA expression of angiogenin in HUVEC before and after BDNF stimulation by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. As a result, we noted that BDNF induced angiogenin secretion and nuclear translocation without an increase in the mRNA expression in HUVEC. Furthermore, we demonstrated that BDNF-induced HUVEC proliferation was significantly suppressed when neomycin, a specific inhibitor of nuclear translocation of angiogenin, was administered. These findings indicate that nuclear translocation of angiogenin is critically involved in BDNF-induced proliferation of HUVEC. In conclusion, angiogenin contributes to angiogenesis induced by BDNF. |
