Effects of Yangxue Antai-containing serum in promoting angiogenesis of endothelial cells and epithelial mesenchymal transformation and decidualization of endometrial cells by inhibiting autophagy
(YXAT)-containing serum promotes endothelial cell angiogenesis and endometrial cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and decidualization by inhibiting autophagy.
Methods
2
JEG-3 cells were divided into Control, rapamycin (Rapa), Rapa + YXAT, 3-methyladenine (3-MA), and 3-MA + YXAT groups. Autophagy in JEG-3 cells was induced or inhibited using Rapa or 3-MA, followed by intervention with YXAT-containing serum. JEG-3 cells were co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) or human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells (HEC-1-A). Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of JEG-3 cells. Western blotting measured the expression of autophagy-related proteins (Beclin1, p62, LC3Ⅰ, LC3Ⅱ) in JEG-3 cells; VEGF and phosphorylated VEGF receptor 2 (p-VEGFR2) in HUVECs; EMT-related proteins (E-cadherin, Vimentin, N-cadherin, Fibronectin) and decidualization-related proteins (BMP2, HOXA10, PRL, IGFBP-1) in HEC-1-A cells. HUVEC migration was assessed by scratch assay. Invasion and migration was assessed by Transwell assay. Cytoskeleton remodeling and F-actin expression was detected by cytoskeleton assay, and lumen length of the new blood vessels was assessed by tube formation assay.
Results

Compared with the Control group, Rapa treatment decreased p62 expression, increased B
eclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, and increased autophagosome and autophagolysosome numbers in JEG-3 cells (
P
<
0.01). In HUVECs, VEGFA and p-VEGFR2 expression, invasion, migration, tube length, and F-actin expression were decreased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). In HEC-1-A cells, E-cadherin expression was increased, whereas Vimentin, N-cadherin, Fibronectin, BMP2, HOXA10, PRL, and IGFBP-1 expression were decreased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). Compared with the Rapa group, Rapa + YXAT treatment increased p62 expression, decreased Beclin1 expression, further increased LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, increased autophagosomes, and decreased autophagolysosomes in JEG-3 cells (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). In HUVECs, VEGFA and p-VEGFR2 expression, invasion, migration, tube length, and F-actin expression were increased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). In HEC-1-A cells, E-cadherin expression was decreased, while Vimentin, N-cadherin, Fibronectin, BMP2, HOXA10, PRL, and IGFBP-1 expression were increased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
YXAT-containing serum inhibits autophagy by suppressing autophagosome-lysosome fusion, thereby promoting endothelial cell invasion and migration, enhancing F-actin expression, facilitating angiogenesis, and promoting EMT and decidualization in endometrial cells.
