v

antagonists are potent angiogenesis inhibitors, and several different
classes of inhibitors have been developed, including monoclonal
antibodies, synthetic peptides, and small organic molecules. However,
each class of inhibitor works by the same principal, by blocking the
binding of ligands to
v
3. In an effort to
develop an
v
3 inhibitor that
down-regulates the actual level of
v
3, we
developed an antisense strategy to inhibit
v
3 expression in vitro.
3 antisense expressed in endothelial cells specifically down-regulated
v
3 and inhibited capillary
tube formation, with the extent of down-regulation correlating with the
extent of tube formation inhibition. This inhibition was
matrix-specific, since tube formation was not inhibited in Matrigel.
These findings support the notion that
v
3
is required for an essential step of angiogenesis in fibrin, namely
capillary tube formation. These results suggest that pseudogenetic
inhibition of
3 integrins using antisense techniques may
ultimately provide a therapeutic means to inhibit angiogenesis in
vivo.
