    Abstract Non-collagenous α3 chain of type IV collagen or α3(IV)NC1, a 28 kDa C-terminal domain of collagen type IV is a specific inhibitor of endothelial cell translation and angiogenesis. In the present study we have cloned and expressed mouse α3(IV)NC1 in baculovirus system. The recombinant protein was expressed in soluble form and tested for several of its biological functions. We identified that this recombinant mouse α3(IV)NC1 specifically inhibited proliferation, translation and tube formation of endothelial cells. Also, we show that α3(IV)NC1 treatment results in apoptosis specifically in proliferating endothelial cells. In addition we report for the first time that mouse α3(IV)NC1 inhibits migration and p38 MAPK phosphorylation in addition to inhibition of FAK/Akt/mTOR/4E-BP1 signaling. In mice α3(IV)NC1 treatment reduced tumor growth and CD-31 positive endothelial vasculature in tumors. Collectively, our data demonstrate the expression of biologically active form of mouse α3(IV)NC1 in Sf-9 cells and provide important mechanistic insights on α3(IV)NC1 antiangiogenic actions in endothelial cells.

    Abstract Growing tumors develop additional new blood vessels to meet the demand for adequate nutrients and oxygen, a process called angiogenesis. Cancer is a highly complex disease promoted by excess angiogenesis; interfering with this process poses for an attractive approach for controlling tumor growth. This hypothesis led to the identification of endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors generated from type IV collagen, a major component of vascular basement membrane (VBM). Type IV collagen and the angiogenesis inhibitors derived from it are involved in complex roles, than just the molecular construction of basement membranes. Protease degradation of collagens in VBM occurs in various physiological and pathological conditions and produces several peptides. Some of these peptides are occupied in the regulation of functions conflicting from those of their original integral molecules. Tumstatin (alpha3(IV)NC1), a proteolytic C-terminal non-collagenous (NC1) domain from type IV collagen alpha3 chain has been highlighted recently because of its potential role in anti-angiogenesis, however its biological actions are not limited to these processes. alpha3(IV)NC1 inhibits proliferation by promoting endothelial cell apoptosis and suppresses diverse tumor angiogenesis, thus making it a potential candidate for future cancer therapy. The present review surveys the physiological functions of type IV collagen and discovery of alpha3(IV)NC1 as an antiangiogenic protein with a comprehensive overview of the knowledge gained by us towards understanding its signaling mechanisms.

    Abstract Vascular basement membrane (VBM) derived molecules are regulators of certain biological activities such as cell growth, differentiation and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is regulated by a systematic controlled balance between VBM derived antiangiogenic factors and proangiogenic growth factors. In the normal physiological state, equilibrium is maintained between the antiangiogenic and proangiogenic factors. The antiangiogenic factors (molecules), which are generated by the proteolytic cleavage of the VBM, include; alpha1 chain non-collagenous (NC1) domain of type XVIII collagen (endostatin) and the NC1 domains from the alpha chains of Type IV collagen considered as endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors. These collagen derived NC1 domains have a pivotal role in the regulation of tumor angiogenesis, thus making them attractive alternate candidates for cancer therapies. In this review we illustrate a comprehensive overview of the knowledge gained from the signaling mechanisms of Type IV collagen derived endogenous inhibitors in angiogenesis.

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in America and Western Europe. Epidemiological studies suggest that prostate cancer incidences increased in last few years in Asian. The causes or consequences of increasing trend of prostate cancer incidence are not completely known. Emerging evidences suggest that among the many risk factors, inflammation is the major risk factor for developing prostate cancer and its progression to metastasis. It is proposed that exposure to environmental factors such as infectious agents, dietary agents and saturated lipids leads to injury of the prostate due to chronic inflammation and regenerative risk factor lesions referred to as proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA). These phenomena predominantly control by a number of proinflammatory macro molecules such as chemokines, and their receptors. Some recent studies suggest that many of these pro-inflammatory chemokines and their receptors are the products of protooncogenes in many cancers including that of the prostate. This review will focus on the current biology of chemokines and chemokine receptors in prostate cancer. An understanding of this axis may enable researchers to develop targeted strategies for prostate cancer.

    Abstract alpha1(IV)NC1, a cleavage fragment of the carboxy terminal non-collagenous human alpha1 chain of type IV collagen, is derived from the extracellular matrix specifically by MMP-2. Recently we determined the in vitro and in vivo anti-angiogenic activity of alpha1(IV)NC1 and presently, its role in cancer therapy is under evaluation. To characterize alpha1(IV)NC1 as a potential candidate for drug development and to test its efficacy in animal models, an effective method to produce a purified active form of alpha1(IV)NC1 is needed. In the present study, expression of alpha1(IV)NC1 in Sf9 cells using baculovirus expression system was discussed, this method was found to be effective in the production of a functionally active soluble form of the recombinant protein. The purified protein showed its characteristic activities such as inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation in endothelial cells.
