}ADI (arginine deiminase), an enzyme that hydrolyses arginine, has been reported as an anti-angiogenesis agent. However, its molecular mechanism is unclear. We have demonstrated for the first time that ADI modulates the angiogenic activity of endothelial tip cells. By arginine depletion, ADI disturbs actin filament in endothelial tip cells, causing disordered migratory direction and decreased migration ability. Furthermore, ADI induces excessive synthesis of ROS (reactive oxygen species), and…

It is shown that colorectal cancers (CRCs) display negligible expression of OTC and, in subset of cases, ASS1 proteins, and arginase antagonizes chemotherapeutic drugs oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), whereas ADI-PEG20 synergizes with oxali platin in ASS1-negative cell lines and appears to interact with 5- fluorourACil independently of ASS1 status.

Inhibition of angiogenesis by ADI was reversed when a surplus of exogenous arginine was provided, indicating that its antiangiogenic effect is primarily due toArginine depletion, although other pathways of interference are not entirely excluded.
