IL-6 trans-Signaling Impairs Sprouting Angiogenesis by Inhibiting Migration, Proliferation and Tube Formation of Human Endothelial Cells
Sprouting angiogenesis is the formation of new capillaries from existing vessels in response to tissue hypoxia due to growth/development, repair/healing, and also chronic inflammation. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of IL-6, a pleiotropic cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti...

description | Sprouting angiogenesis is the formation of new capillaries from existing vessels in response to tissue hypoxia due to growth/development, repair/healing, and also chronic inflammation. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of IL-6, a pleiotropic cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions, in regulating the sprouting angiogenic response of endothelial cells (ECs). We found that activation of IL-6 trans-signaling inhibited the migration, proliferation, and tube formation ability of ECs. In addition, inhibition of the autocrine IL-6 classic-signaling by depleting endogenous IL-6 from ECs impaired their tube formation ability. At the molecular level, we found that IL-6 trans-signaling in ECs upregulated established endogenous anti-angiogenic factors such as CXCL10 and SERPINF1 while at the same time downregulated known endogenous pro-angiogenic factors such as cKIT and CXCL8. Furthermore, prior activation of ECs by IL-6 trans-signaling alters their response to vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), causing an increased p38, but decreased Erk1/2 phosphorylation. Collectively, our data demonstrated the dual facets of IL-6 in regulating the sprouting angiogenic function of ECs. In addition, we shed light on molecular mechanisms behind the IL-6 trans-signaling mediated impairment of endothelial sprouting angiogenic response. |
