Figure 4. H-RN inhibits angiogenesis of
chorioallantoic membrane model. A-D: Representative photographs
of antiangiogenesis in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of H-RN,
H-FT, and scrambled peptide. Filter paper disks saturated with H-RN (10
µg, 50 µg), H-FT (10 µg, 50 µg), scrambled peptide (10 µg, 50 µg) or
PBS were placed on the CAMs for 72 h of incubation. Vessels around the
filter disks were photographed: A, Control (PBS); B, 50
µg H-RN per egg; C, 50 µg H-FT per egg; D, 50 µg
scrambled peptide per egg. (magnification was ×11.5). E:
Quantitative results showed different effects of two peptides on CAM
angiogenesis. H-RN inhibited CAM angiogenesis significantly, compared
to the PBS group. No such antiangiogenesis activity of H-FT or
scrambled peptide was found (** p<0.01, each condition versus
control).
