Key result
Angiopoietin-1 (200 ng/ml) induced Tie2 phosphorylation and dose-dependently increased the survival of cultured porcine coronary artery endothelial cells during OxLDL-induced apoptosis.
Population
Cultured porcine coronary artery endothelial cells (PCAECs) and explanted porcine coronary arteries
Comparison
Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin-2 vs Control (no Ang1/Ang2) or OxLDL alone

Suggests Ang1-Tie2 as endothelial protector in atherosclerosis models; leaves open in vivo and clinical translation.
The Ang1-Tie2 system enhances endothelial cell survival against OxLDL-induced apoptosis, suggesting a protective role in maintaining coronary artery endothelial integrity.
Injune Kim (2001) studied OxLDL-induced apoptosis in coronary artery endothelium. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) vs. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) or control was evaluated on Tie2 phosphorylation and endothelial cell survival during OxLDL-induced apoptosis. Angiopoietin-1 (200 ng/ml) induced Tie2 phosphorylation and dose-dependently increased the survival of cultured porcine coronary artery endothelial cells during OxLDL-induced apoptosis.
