| physiological function | 15-LO-1 plays active roles in vascular remodeling, the progression of atherosclerosis and angiogenesis. The PC-3 prostate cancer cell line, which overexpresses 15-LO-1, secretes high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and enhances tumor growth and angiogenesis as compared with the parental PC-3 cell lines. Angiogenesis and tumor formation is inhibited in transgenic mice overexpressing 15-LO-1 in endothelial cells under the control of preproendothelin promoter. Potential role of 15-LO-1 in regulating endothelium-derived NO, the expression level and activity of 15-LO-1 in endothelial cells may act as a potential NO barometer by modulating the level of eNOS enzyme and bioactive free NO in endothelial cells. 15-LO-1 in human endothelial cells can inhibit angiogenesis and vascular permeability by removing free NO, and its activity can in turn be modulated by the cytoplasmic NO level | Homo sapiens |
| physiological function | is a regulator of angiogenesis, antiangiogenic action in skeletal muscle system. 15-LO-1 significantly decreases all angiogenic effects induced by vascular endothelial growth factor-A and placental growth factor, including capillary perfusion, vascular permeability, vasodilatation, and the increase in capillary number | Oryctolagus cuniculus |
