Objective To investigate the effects of propranolol on the proliferation,apoptosis,migration,and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC),as well as its impact on the expression of sex-determining region Y-box 18(SOX18),matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7),and vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA).Methods HUVEC were treated with different concentrations of propranolol,and cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 method to determine the optimal concentration and treatment duration.The experiment consisted of a control group and groups treated with different concentrations of propranolol(50,100,150 μmol/L).Apoptosis,migration,and tube formation of HUVEC were observed using flow cytometry,wound healing assays,and tube formation assays.Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR were used to detect the expression levels of SOX18,MMP-7,and VEGFA proteins and mRNA.Results Compared to the control group,the apoptosis rate in the propranolol treatment groups increased significantly(P<0.05),and it rose significantly with increasing drug concentration(P<0.05).The wound healing rate decreased in the propranolol treatment groups,and both the number of tube formation nodes and total tube length were reduced(P<0.05).The expression levels of SOX18,MMP-7,and VEGFA proteins and mRNA were downregulated in the propranolol treatment groups(P<0.05).Conclusions Propranolol can inhibit the proliferation,migration,and tube formation ability of HUVEC and promote cell apoptosis,resulting in decreased expression levels of SOX18,MMP-7,and VEGFA.
