Thioridazine is a type of anti-psychotic drug that also includes anti-tumor activity. In this study, we assessed the effects of thioridazine, as a novel anti-angiogenic agent, on the suppression of angiogenesis-mediated cell proliferation. Thioridazine was found to inhibit growth in ovarian cancer cells (OVCAR-3 and 2774), but did not possess any inhibitory effects on normal cell types such as HOSE-E6E7, MCF-10A, MRC-5, and BEAS-28. Thioridazine also suppressed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-stimulated HUVEC migration in a dose-time-dependent manner. We also showed that being treated with thioridazine inhibited VEGF-stimulated proliferation, invasion, and capillary-like structure tube formation in vitro. Thioridazine suppressed phosphorylation of the signaling regulators downstream of the focal adhesion kinase (FAR) through alpha v beta 3 integrin, which also include Akt, phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK-1), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), but had no effect on VEGF-stimulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation. We found the molecular mechanism of thioridazine to be a novel anti-angiogenic protein. These results provide evidence for the regulation of endothelial cell functions that are relevant to angiogenesis through the suppression of the alpha v beta 3/FAK/mTOR signaling pathway.
