The aim of this study was to investigate novel chalcones with potent angiogenic activities in vivo. Chalcone-based derivatives were evaluated using a transgenic zebrafish line with fluorescent vessels to real-time monitor the effect on angiogenesis. Results showed that the chalcone analogues did not possess anti-angiogenic effect on zebrafish vasculatures; instead, some of them displayed potent pro-angiogenic effects on the formation of the sub-intestinal vein. Similar pro-angiogenic effects can also be seen on wild type zebrafish embryos. Moreover, the expression of vegfa, the major regulator for angiogenesis, was also upregulated in their treatment. Taken together, we have synthesized and identified a series of novel chalcone-based derivatives as potent in vivo pro-angiogenic compounds. These novel compounds hold potential for therapeutic angiogenesis.
本研究的目的是研究具有强效体内血管生成活性的新型查耳酮。研究人员利用带有荧光血管的转基因斑马鱼品系对查尔酮类衍生物进行了评估,以实时监测其对血管生成的影响。结果表明,查尔酮类似物对斑马鱼血管并不具有抗血管生成的作用,相反,其中一些类似物对肠下静脉的形成具有强效的促血管生成作用。野生型斑马鱼胚胎也有类似的促血管生成作用。此外,血管生成的主要调节因子 vegfa 的表达也在它们的处理过程中上调。综上所述,我们合成并鉴定了一系列新型查耳酮基衍生物,它们是强效的体内促血管生成化合物。这些新型化合物具有治疗血管生成的潜力。
