Abstract

The present study investigated the effect of the combretastatin A-4 analogue CPU-XT‑008 on the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF‑2) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The proliferation capacity of HUVECs was analyzed with a cell viability assay, while their apoptosis and migration abilities were evaluated via flow cytometry and monolayer denudation assay, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of VEGF and FGF‑2 in these cells were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and cell‑based ELISA, western blotting and immunocytochemistry, respectively. The results demonstrated that CPU‑XT‑008 inhibited proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis in HUVECs in a dose‑dependent manner. In addition, CPU‑XT‑008 downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of VEGF and FGF‑2 in these cells. These findings suggest that CPU‑XT‑008 exerts anti-angiogenic effects in HUVECs, which may explain the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration, induction of apoptosis, and reduction in the mRNA and protein expression levels of VEGF and FGF-2 observed in the present study.
