title: Inhibition of Angiogenesis In Vivo by ets-1 Antisense Oligonucleotides-Inhibition of Ets-1 Transcription Factor Expression by the Antibiotic Fumagillin.
abstract: The inhibition of angiogenesis in vivo as a result of the inhibition of Ets-1 transcription factor expression by the ets-1 phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide 5'-AGATCGACGGCCGCCTTCAT-3' has been proven by experiments with chicken embryos. Thus, participation of the Ets-1 transcription factor in the formation of new blood vessels in vivo has been demonstrated. Furthermore, it is shown that the angiostatic effect of the fungal metabolite and angiogenesis inhibitor fumagillin is mainly a result of its ability to inhibit Ets-1 expression.
