The impact of the anti-angiogenic properties on airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR) was then examined using a murine model of chronic OVA-induced allergic airways disease. Results: The LF-15 and T7 peptides significantly reduced endothelial cell viability and attenuated tube formation in vitro. Mice exposed to OVA+ LF-15 or OVA+T7 also had reduced total lung vascularity and AHR was attenuated compared to mice exposed to OVA alone. T3 peptides reduced cell viability but had no effect on any other parameters. Conclusion: The LF-15 and T7 peptides may be appropriate candidates for use as novel pharmacotherapies due to their small size and anti-angiogenic properties observed in vitro and in vivo.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:14:04 AEST ]]> Reduction of tumstatin in asthmatic airways contributes to angiogenesis, inflammation, and hyperresponsiveness https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11251 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:53 AEDT ]]>
