Abstract

MAGE-D1 is a member of the MAGE family of proteins, and functions as an adaptor that mediates multiple signaling pathways. The current study for the first time provides evidence for a role of MAGE-D1 in the negative regulation of angiogenic activity in vitro and in vivo models. Our findings showed that MAGE-D1 over-expression significantly suppressed the angiogenic key events such as endothelial cell migration and invasion, adhesion on collagen I substrate, and in vitro differentiation into tube-like structures under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. MAGE-D1 over-expression also inhibited in vivo angiogenesis in Matrigel plugs that were implanted subcutaneously in mice. With further experiments, we revealed that MAGE-D1 over-expression disrupted actin cytoskeleton organization and lamellipodia formation, and down-regulated HIF-1-dependent gene expression in endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions. These findings demonstrate a new function of MAGE-D1 in the regulation of angiogenesis and provide new insight into the ability of MAGE-D1 to suppress the growth and angiogenic response of endothelial cells by interfering with HIF-1-dependent gene expression, and actin cytoskeleton reorganization, suggesting that MAGE-D1 might be a novel inhibitor of angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo.
