Thematic review series: sphingolipids Ganglioside GM3 suppresses the proangiogenic effects of vascular endothelial growth factor and ganglioside GD1a Mukherjee P; Faber AC; Shelton LM; Baek RC; Chiles TC; Seyfried TNJ Lipid Res 2008[May]; 49 (5): 929-38Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that have long been associated with tumor malignancy and metastasis. Mounting evidence suggests that gangliosides also modulate tumor angiogenesis. Tumor cells shed gangliosides into the microenvironment, which produces both autocrine and paracrine effects on tumor cells and tumor-associated host cells. In this study, we show that the simple monosialoganglioside GM3 counteracts the proangiogenic effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and of the complex disialoganglioside GD1a. GM3 suppressed the action of VEGF and GD1a on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and inhibited the migration of HUVECs toward VEGF as a chemoattractant. Enrichment of added GM3 in the HUVEC membrane also reduced the phosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) and downstream Akt. Moreover, GM3 reduced the proangiogenic effects of GD1a and growth factors in the in vivo Matrigel plug assay. Inhibition of GM3 biosynthesis with the glucosyl transferase inhibitor, N-butyldeoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ), increased HUVEC proliferation and the phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 and Akt. The effects of NB-DNJ on HUVECs were reversed with the addition of GM3. We conclude that GM3 has antiangiogenic action and may possess therapeutic potential for reducing tumor angiogenesis.|Angiogenesis Inhibitors/*pharmacology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Brain[MESH]|Cattle[MESH]|Cell Division/drug effects[MESH]|Cells, Cultured[MESH]|Endothelium, Vascular/cytology/drug effects/physiology[MESH]|G(M1) Ganglioside/*analogs & derivatives/antagonists & inhibitors/pharmacology[MESH]|G(M3) Ganglioside/*pharmacology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Mice, Inbred BALB C[MESH]|Mice, SCID[MESH]|Neovascularization, Physiologic/*drug effects[MESH]|Umbilical Veins/cytology/drug effects/physiology[MESH]|Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A/antagonists & inhibitors/*pharmacology[MESH] |
