Abstract Objective: To study the effect of regulated EphA1/EphrinA1 signaling pathways in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on their cell biological behavior and promotion of angiogenesis potency in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Different concentrations of doxycycline were used to regulate the EphA1 gene express in EPCs line EPCsEphA1/SiRNA-Tet in vitro and in vivo. Western blot was used to test the EphA1/EphrinA1 signaling pathway variation; CCK8 method, wound healing and cell invasion assay were used to test the changes in cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability; xenograft tumor growth curve and immunohistochemical staining of tumor microvascular were used to test their promote angiogenesis potency in hepatocellular carcinoma. T test was used to compare parameters between the groups. Results: In vitro assay it was showed that 10 μg/mL doxycycline could inhibit EphA1/EphrinA1 signaling pathway activity to the maximum extent. Compared with β-actin, the gray value of EphA1 and its ligand EphrinA1 protein expressions were 0.293±0.029 and 0.603±0.038 respectively, being statistically different (t=12.940, 4.864; P<0.001, 0.008) from Dox(-) group 0.943±0.041 and 0.960±0.062. The results of cell biological behavior showed that regulated EphA1 gene expression in EPCs had no effected on their proliferation ability. Compared with Dox(-) group, 10 μg/mL doxycycline regulation could inhibit EPCs’ motility and invasion ability (t=4.435, 2.467; P=0.002, 0.039) to the maximum extent. 100 μg/mL doxycycline induction in vitro could decrease to capacity EphA1 gene expression in EPCs in vivo. Compared with tumor volume (924.5±81.8) mm3 in Dox(-) group, the regulated group tumor volume (543.8±24.6) mm3 of nude mice was decreased at the end of sixth week (t=4.909, P=0.001) and compared with Dox(-) group (37.0±4.1), the microvascular density in regulated group 21.6±3.6 was significantly decreased (t=2.823, P=0.024). Conclusion: Different concentrations of doxycycline can precisely regulate the activity of EphA1/EphrinA1 signaling axis in EPCs in vitro and in vivo, thus controlling the promoted angiogenesis potency in hepatocellular carcinoma.
