Expression in the lens results in excessive proliferation and accumulation of angioblasts and endothelial cells in proximity to the lens. However, VEGF expression is not sufficient to direct blood vessel organization or maturation in the prenatal mouse. Abnormal vessels do form on the retinal surface, but not until the second postnatal week. In transgenic mice expressing VEGF in the photoreceptors, NV originates from the deep capillary bed—the vascular bed closest to the photoreceptors. NV is accompanied by localized blood–retinal barrier breakdown. NV is also induced in PDGF-B transgenic mice. PDGF-B expression in the lens occurs prenatally and, during this time, mainly affects the perilenticular vessels. Postnatally, transgenic mice expressing PDGF-B in the lens or photoreceptors show a similar phenotype. In both models, a highly vascularized cell mass containing endothelial cells, pericytes, and glia forms in the superficial retina, and the formation of the deep capillary bed is inhibited.

In a migration/scratch assay and during tube formation, angiostatin in combination with reduced pH<sub>e</sub> synergistically resulted in an increased EC death—an effect not seen with either stimulus individually. Lowering of pH<sub>e</sub> decreased intracellular pH (pH<sub>i</sub>), and a further lowering of pH<sub>i</sub> occurred when low pH<sub>e</sub> was combined with angiostatin. These data suggest that low pH<sub>e</sub> plays a role in the relative specificity and efficacy of angiostatin for tumor neovasculature and indicate roles for both pH<sub>e</sub> and pH<sub>i</sub> in the mechanism of angiostatin action. A receptor for angiostatin, the α-subunit of ATP synthase, was found on the surface of EC. We show that cell surface receptor distribution is increased on Matrigel, a basement-like matrix, as opposed to fibronectin or RGD peptide substrates, and redistributed to a more punctuate appearance at low pH<sub>e</sub>. Furthermore, positive cell surface histochemical staining for α-ATP synthase was blocked by preincubation with angiostatin.

We have previously shown that thrombin enhances proliferative responses in T lymphocytes. More recently, we reported that interferon-γ-differentiated monocytes have increased expression of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) and increased thrombin binding. Since cytokines may be involved directly and indirectly in angiogenesis, we initiated studies to determine thrombin effects on the induction of cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6, in human mononuclear cells. IL-1 and IL-6 protein expression was significantly enhanced by thrombin (<em>P</em>&lt;.05), as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Treating mononuclear cells with the PAR-1 peptide, SFLLRN, has effects similar to those of thrombin. Thus, it appears that these thrombin effects are mediated through activation of PAR-1.
