This group also found that murine, not human, IL-18 suppressed FGF-2-induced corneal neovascularization in mice, although the IL-18 was administered by i.p. injections, and it is unclear whether local rather than systemic treatment would have induced divergent results. Interestingly, they also found that IL-18 suppressed angiogenesis in the chick chorioallantoic membrane model. Our finding that IL-18 did not induce HMVEC proliferation is consistent with results obtained for other angiogenic mediators, such as soluble VCAM-1 or soluble E-selectin, which also do not induce endothelial proliferation (14). Consistent with the chemotactic properties of IL-18, we also showed IL-18 induction of HMVEC tube formation in Matrigel matrix in vitro. The degree of tube formation by IL-18 at 1 nM was comparable with the stimulant PMA (50 mM), a potent inducer of HMVEC differentiation and tube formation (51). In the Matrigel in vivo mouse angiogenesis model, IL-18 also stimulated actual blood vessel formation, which was visibly in excess of control."; prov:wasQuotedFrom pubmed:11466388 . sub:_4 rdfs:label "Selventa" . sub:assertion prov:hadPrimarySource pubmed:11466388; prov:wasDerivedFrom beldoc:, sub:_3 . } sub:pubinfo { this: dcterms:created "2014-07-03T14:29:57.521+02:00"^^xsd:dateTime; pav:createdBy orcid:0000-0001-6818-334X, orcid:0000-0002-1267-0234 . }
