title: Type V collagen selectively inhibits human endothelial cell proliferation.
abstract: Type V collagen from human placenta remarkably inhibited human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation in a dose-dependent manner when coated on the culture dishes. Other types of collagen (I, III, IV) and fibronectin enhanced HUVEC proliferation under the same conditions. The inhibitory activity of type V collagen was seen not only when it was coated on the dishes, but also when it was directly added into cell culture. The attachment effect of type V collagen did not differ from that of type I collagen. The inhibitory activity is a phenomenon selective for endothelial cells, since type V collagen did not affect the proliferation of human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells, aortic smooth muscle cells, or nasal mucosa fibroblasts.
