Objective To explore the effect of natural hirudin on proliferation of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) and its preliminary mechanism of promoting angiogenesis. Methods Three-dimensional culture models of HMVECs were established in vitro and observed by inverted phase contrast microscopy after 24 hours of culturing. Then, the three-dimensional culture models of HMVECs were treated with different concentrations (1, 4, and 7 ATU/mL) of the natural hirudin, respectively, and Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum as control. The cell proliferations of 4 groups were detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method at 24, 48, and 72 hours; the angiogenesis of 4 groups were observed by tube formation assay at 24 hours; the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Notch1 of HMVECs in 4 groups were observed by immunofluorescence staining at 24 hours. Results The observation of cells in three-dimensional culture models showed that HMVECs attached to Matrigel well, and the cells formed tube structure completely after 24 hours. The results of CCK-8 test showed that the absorbance (A) value of 1 and 4 ATU/mL groups were higher than that of control group at each time point (P<0.05), andA value of 4 ATU/mL group was the highest. The A value of 7 ATU/mL group was significantly lower than those of 1 and 4 ATU/mL groups and control group (P<0.05). The tube formation assay showed that the tube structure was more in 1 and 4 ATU/mL groups than in 7 ATU/mL group and control group, and in 4 ATU/mL group than in 1 ATU/mL group, showing significant differences (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between 7 ATU/mL group and control group (P>0.05). The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with control group, the Notch1 expression was higher in 1 and 4 ATU/mL groups and lower in 7 ATU/mL group; and there was significant difference between 4 and 7 ATU/mL groups and control group (P<0.05). The VEGF expression was higher in 1, 4, and 7 ATU/mL groups than in control group, in 4 ATU/mL group than in 1 and 7 ATU/mL groups, showing significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Natural hirudin can promote angiogenesis at low and medium concentrations, but suppress angiogenesis at high concentrations. Its mechanism may be related to the VEGF-Notch signal pathway.
