Silencing profilin-1 inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, migration and cord morphogenesis
13 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Expression of several actin-binding proteins including profilin-1 is up-regulated during capillary morphogenesis of endothelial cells, the biological significance of which remains unknown. Specifically, we hypothesized that profilin-1 is important for endothelial migration and proliferation. In this study, we suppressed profilin-1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells by RNA-interference. Gene...
