A fragment of rat thoracic aorta within type I collagen gel was employed as a model of angiogenesis, including the processes of cell migration, proliferation and capillary tube formation. Endogenous angiogenic factors in this model were studied. Expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor, and proteolytic enzyme activities (matrix metalloprotease-2; MMP-2 and plasminogen activator; PA) increased during angiogenesis. The angiogenesis was inhibited by VEGF receptor kinase inhibitor and MMP inhibitor, confirming that these endogenous factors played an important role in angiogenesis. Interestingly, these inhibitors induced different capillary morphologies, including differences of cell migration and sprouting. Furthermore, dexamethasone (a down-regulator of MMP and PA) and TNP-470 (an endothelial cell growth inhibitor) induced another capillary morphology. The results suggest that the capillary structure in this model is dramatically influenced by the inhibition of angiogenic signalling and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. We also found that a novel angiogenesis inhibitor, the microbial metabolite luminacin, which was recently identified by us (Wakabayashi et al., J. Antiobiot., 53, 591-596 (2000)), induced a different morphology compared with other inhibitors examined, suggesting that it has a unique mechanism of action. Our results indicate that this rat aorta model should be useful for screening novel angiogenesis inhibitors.
