Abstract
Human guanylate binding protein-1 (GBP-1) exerts potent anti-angiogenic properties in human endothelial cells (EC) through inhibition of EC invasiveness and proliferation. To date, the molecular mechanisms of these anti-angiogenic activities of GBP-1 have not been fully elucidated. Comparative transcriptome analyses revealed that integrin alpha4 (ITGA4) is a specific GBP-1 up-regulated gene. Additionally, we could show that GBP-1 is necessary and sufficient to inhibit spreading and motility of HUVEC on fibronectin through induction of ITGA4 expression. These findings provide a novel mechanism to explain the anti-invasive activity of GBP-1 in EC.
