Abstract: The structure of recombinant endostatin and mechanism of acting on endothelial cell were studied by mass spectrometry, circular dichroism spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and cell cycle analysis technique. It was found that the recombinant protein prepared from inclusion body of E. coli may combinate the derivated protein with N-terminal Met. The mechanism by which recombinant endostatin causes G2 arrest in endothelial cells was observed, which demonstrated that the apoptosis of endothelial cell induced by endostatin was correlated with cell cycle. The results lay the foundation for the antiangiogenesis therapy of the tumor.
