Antiangiogenic Properties of 17-(Dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiangiogenic properties of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG; NSC707545), a water-soluble benzoquinone ansamycin. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The activity of 17-DMAG, in vivo, was evaluated for inhibition of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2-induced angiogenesis in s.c. implanted Matrigel in mice. In vitro, the activity of 17-DMAG on endothelial cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells; HUVEC) was tested in FGF-2; and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced proliferation and apoptosis, motility, and extracellular matrix invasion; and on the alignment of capillary like structures in Matrigel. The protein level of heat shock protein (Hsp)90 and client proteins was examined by Western blot in FGF-2 and VEGF-stimulated HUVEC. RESULTS: Daily oral administration of 17-DMAG affected the angiogenic response in Matrigel in a dose-dependent manner. The hemoglobin content in the Matrigel implants was significantly inhibited, and the histological analysis confirmed a decrease of CD31(+) endothelial cells and of structures organized in cord and erythrocyte-containing vessels. In vitro, the compound inhibited dose-dependently the migration and the extracellular matrix-invasiveness of HUVEC and their capacity to form capillary like structures in Matrigel. 17-DMAG treatment also inhibited FGF-2 and VEGF-induced HUVEC proliferation and resulted in apoptosis. Accordingly, the expression of Hsp90 direct client proteins (pAkt and c-Raf-1) or their downstream substrates including pERK was also affected. 17-DMAG consistently increased the expression of Hsp70. Throughout the study similar results were obtained with 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; NSC330507), the analog compound currently undergoing clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS: We show that the Hsp90 targeting agents 17-DMAG and 17-AAG inhibit angiogenesis. The strong effects on endothelial cell functions, in vitro, indicate that the antiangiogenic activity of 17-DMAG/17-AAG could also be due to a direct effect on endothelial cells. The oral bioavailability of 17-DMAG might be of advantage in investigating the potential of this compound in clinical trials with antiangiogenic as well as antiproliferative endpoints.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
