Several chemokines have been shown to act as angiogenic
molecules or to modulate the activity of growth factors such as
fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF). The detection of the CC chemokine receptor (CCR) 8 message in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and RNase
protection assay (RPA), prompted us to investigate the potential role
exerted by the CC chemokine I-309, a known ligand of such receptor, in both in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis assays. We show here that I-309
binds to endothelial cells, stimulates chemotaxis and invasion of these
cells, and enhances HUVEC differentiation into capillary-like structures in an in vitro Matrigel assay. Furthermore, I-309 is an
inducer of angiogenesis in vivo in both the rabbit cornea and the
chick chorioallantoic membrane assay (CAM).
