ABSTRACT

Anti-angiogenesis therapy is a novel treatment method for malignant tumors. Endothelial cell (EC) migration is an important part of angiogenesis. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) exhibits strong anti-angiogenic and anti-EC migration effects; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. The TGF-β1/activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5)/SMAD2 signaling pathway serves an important role in the regulation of migration. The present study aimed to explore the effects of DHA treatment on EC migration and the TGF-β1/ALK5/SMAD2 signaling pathway. The effects of DHA on human umbilical vein EC migration were assessed using wound healing and Transwell assays. The effects of DHA on the TGF-β1/ALK5/SMAD2 signaling pathway were detected using western blotting. DHA exhibited an inhibitory effect on EC migration in the wound healing and Transwell assays. DHA treatment upregulated the expression levels of ALK5 and increased the phosphorylation of SMAD2 in ECs. SB431542 rescued the inhibitory effect of DHA during EC migration. DHA inhibited EC migration via the TGF-β1/ALK5/SMAD2-dependent signaling pathway, and DHA may be a novel drug for the treatment of patients with malignant tumors.
