HUVEC Cell Line:
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that is naturally used for healing and reproduction. The body controls angiogenesis by secreting chemical signals that can stimulate the formation of new blood vessels as well as the repair of damaged ones. Excessive or insufficient blood vessel growth may cause balance disturbance in the body, resulting in various deadly and debilitating diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetic ulcers, and many others. Angiogenesis inhibitors usually interfere with blood vessel formation.
The Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell line (HUVEC) is a powerful tool in the study of various physiological processes such as angiogenesis. The HUVEC cell line was derived and established from human umbilical vein endothelial cells, which is also where it gets its name. This cell line very useful in the study of the interior of the umbilical cord. It is believed that HUVEC cells may play a role in angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, which supply cancer growths with nutrients. Multiple research groups work on the development of cancer medicines by targeting angiogenesis. Endothelial cells play a key role in a diverse range of physiological processes and pathophysiological processes, including arterial disease and cancer development. HUVEC systems are commonly used for physiological and pharmacological investigations, such as macromolecule transport, fibrinolysis, and blood coagulation. HUVEC are responsive to cytokine stimulation in the expression of cell adhesion molecule. Altogen Biosystems provides an advanced formulation of a lipid-based HUVEC transfection reagent kit for umbilical vein endothelial cells.
Data:
Figure 1. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the HUVEC cells transfected with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPDH mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).
Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in HUVEC cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting GAPDH were transfected into HUVEC cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.
