Transcriptional profiling of a novel pro-angiogenic small molecule phthalimide neovascular factor 1 (PNF1)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We generated the transcriptional regulatory footprint of phthalimide neovascular factor 1 (PNF1)—a novel synthetic small molecule that exhibits significant in vitro endothelial potency and significant in vivo microvascular network expansion—by performing comparative microarray analysis on PNF1-stimulated (versus control) human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) spanning 1-48 h post-supplementation. We subsequently applied network analysis tools (including substantial libraries of information regarding known associations among network components) to elucidate key signaling components and pathways involved in the PNF1 mechanism-of-action. We identified that PNF1 first induces function of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) signaling pathway, which in turn affects transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling.
