Effect of Precipitated Extracellular Marennine on Angiogenesis and Tumour Cell Proliferation.

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis is a fundamental biological process involved in the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vascular network. In addition to physiological processes, angiogenesis is also implicated in pathological conditions such as tumour growth and metastatic progression. Research on marennine, a water-soluble blue-green pigment produced by the marine diatom Haslea ostrearia, has highlighted various promising biological activities. In vivo studies have suggested the potential of marennine in cancer treatment. However, these studies were conducted with crude extracts, the exact composition of which remained poorly defined. In this context, our study aimed to explore the effects of marennine on angiogenesis and tumour proliferation by using a Precipitated Extracellular
