Abstract:AIM: To investigate whether a novel human C2H2-type zinc finger protein ZNF580 is involved in the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells induced by sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). METHODS: The cDNA of EA.hy926 cells was analyzed by RT-PCR to determine the S1P receptor expression profile. The cells were incubated with S1P at different concentrations and for different time intervals. Total RNA and protein in treated EA.hy926 cells were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. SB203580, a chemical inhibitor of p38 MAPK, was used to determine whether p38 MAPK pathway had any effect on the up-regulation of ZNF580 expression by S1P. The plasmid pEGFP-ZNF580 or the synthetic ZNF580-siRNA was transfected into EA.hy926 cells with Lipofectamine 2000 for 48 h. Cell migration assay and MTT colorimetric assay were used to investigate the effects of ZNF580 on the motility and growth of endothelial cells. RESULTS: EA.hy926 endothelial cells expressed S1P1, S1P3 and S1P5 receptors. Furthermore, S1P up-regulated ZNF580 at mRNA and protein levels in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The p38 MAPK pathway specific inhibitor SB203580 blocked the S1P-induced up-regulation of ZNF580 expression. Moreover, overexpression/silencing of ZNF580 in EA.hy926 cells led to enhancement/decrease of the migration and proliferation of the cells. CONCLUSION: S1P-induced migration and proliferation of endothelial cells are critical for angiogenesis. ZNF proteins usually play an essential role in altering gene expression and regulating the angiogenesis.
