LCKLSL hydrochloride is a N-terminal hexapeptide and a competitive annexin A2 (AnxA2) inhibitor. LCKLSL hydrochloride potently inhibits the binding of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to AnxA2. LCKLSL hydrochloride also inhibits the generation of plasmin and has anti-angiogenic roles[1].
In human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (RMVECs), treatment with LCKLSL (0-2 mg) inhibits the generation of plasmin and suppresses the VEGF-induced activity of tPA under hypoxic conditions[1].
Application of LCKLSL in two in vivo models (in chicken chorioallantoic membrane and murine Matrigel plug assays) of angiogenesis demonstrates suppression of the angiogenic responses. Treatment with the LCKLSL peptide significantly decreases the vascular length. At a dose of 5 μg/mL, the LCKLSL peptide significantly decreases the number of vascular branches, junctions and end-points[1].
