Novel Peptide NT/K-CRS Derived from Kringle Structure of Neurotrypsin Inhibits Neovascularization In Vitro and In Vivo

Purpose: To assess the anti-neovascularization effect of a novel peptide NT/K-CRS derived from the kringle domain of neurotrypsin in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in advance. Cell migration, lumen formation, and cell proliferation assays were performed to determine the anti-neovascularization effect of NT/K-CRS in HUVECs. TUNEL and...
