Abstract:

To investigate the effect of 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido) adenosine (NECA), an adenosine agonist, on triggering angiogenesis in transplanted human ovarian tissue, the expression of angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), Ang2, vascular endothelial growth factor 121 (VEGF-121) and VEGF-189 at both gene and protein levels as well as the density of vasculature were studied in tissue fragments grafted to NECA-treated and control groups of nude mice. The results showed that NECA treatment triggered down-regulation of Ang1, induced VEGF-189 expression, and stimulated neovascularization, highlighting the beneficial effect of NECA on the process of angiogenesis.
