Timo AIII (0.5–4 µM) dose-dependently inhibited VEGF-induced proliferation, migration, invasion, and tube formation of HUVECs, but these inhibitory effects were not due to its cytotoxicity. The coexpression network analysis results showed that various biological processes and signaling pathways were enriched including angiogenesis, cell motility, cell adhesion, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, transmembrane signaling receptor activity, growth factor activity, etc., which was consistent with the antiangiogenesis effects of Timo AIII in HUVECs and zebrafish embryos. We found that Timo AIII suppressed VEGF-induced endothelial cell migration and invasion in HUVECs over the range of nontoxic concentrations of Timo AIII (Figs. Timo AIII inhibited endothelial cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and tube formation in HUVECs. The underlying mechanism of the antiangiogenesis effect of Timo AIII might be involved in the inhibition of the VEGF/PI3K/Akt/MAPK signaling pathway. ./cache/cord-012806-pjehkeh9.txt ./txt/cord-012806-pjehkeh9.txt
