ABSTRACT
Angiogenesis has an essential role in many pathophysiologies. Here, we show that phospholipase C-ß3 (PLC-ß3) isoform regulates endothelial cell function and retinal angiogenesis. Silencing of PLC-ß3 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) significantly delayed proliferation, migration and capillary-like tube formation. In addition, mice lacking PLC-ß3 showed impaired retinal angiogenesis with delayed endothelial proliferation, reduced endothelial cell activation, abnormal vessel formation and hemorrhage. Finally, tumor formation was significantly reduced in mice lacking PLC-ß3 and showed irregular size and shape of blood vessels. These results suggest that regulation of endothelial function by PLC-ß3 may contribute to angiogenesis.
