A strict physiological balance between endogenous pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors control endothelial cell functions, such that endothelial cell growth is normally restrained. However, in pathologic angiogenesis a shift occurs in the balance of regulators favoring endothelial growth. Much of control of angiogenic events is instigated through hypoxia-induced VEGF expression. Ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a central role in fine-tuning function of core pro-angiogenic proteins including VEGF, VEGFR-2, angiogenic signaling proteins including PLCγ1 and PI3 kinase/AKT pathway and other non-VEGF angiogenic pathways. The emerging mechanisms by which ubiquitin modification of angiogenic proteins control angiogenesis involve both proteolytic and non-proteolytic functions. Here, I review the recent advances linking ubiquitin-proteasome system to regulation of angiogenesis and highlights the potential therapeutic of ubiquitin-proteasome system in angiogenesis-associated diseases.
