Inhibition of Melanoma Angiogenesis by Telomere Homolog Oligonucleotides

T-oligo decreases VEGF and VEGFR-2 protein levels in normal endothelial cells. HMVEC and HUVEC were treated with 40 $\mu$M T-oligo or diluent alone and harvested for western blot analysis over 48 hours. (a) VEGF protein expression in HMVEC. Here and elsewhere actin expression was used to adjust the loading. (b) VEGF protein expression in HUVEC. (c) Combined densitometric analysis of VEGF expression in HMVEC and HUVEC as a percent of time 0 levels, after loading adjustment. (d) VEGFR-2 protein expression in HMVEC. (e) VEGFR-2 protein expression and HUVEC, and (f) Combined densitometric analysis, as in (c).
