Abstract
Nitric
oxide (NO) is a known modulator of angiogenesis. The NONOate subfamily
of NO donors has long been used in experimental and clinical studies to
promote angiogenesis. However, no studies have been conducted yet to
compare the angiogenesis potential of these NO donors in respect to
their pattern of NO release. We hypothesize that having different
pattern of NO release, each of the NO donors in NONOate subfamily can
promote key stages of angiogenesis in differential manner. To verify our
hypothesis, NO donors with half life ranging from seconds to several
hours and having very different pattern of NO release were selected to
evaluate their efficacy in modulating angiogenesis. Endothelial tube
formation using EAhy926 cells was maximally increased by Spermine
NONOate (SP) treatment. SP treatment maximally induced both ex vivo and in vivo
angiogenesis using egg yolk and cotton plug angiogenesis models
respectively. Experiment using chick embryo partial ischemia model
revealed SP as the best suited NO donor to recover ischemia driven
hampered angiogenesis. The present study elaborated that differential
release pattern of NO by different NO donors can modulate angiogenesis
differentially and also suggested that SP have a unique pattern of NO
release that best fits for angiogenesis.
