Selenium–Chondroitin Sulfate Nanoparticles Inhibit Angiogenesis by Regulating the VEGFR2-Mediated PI3K/Akt Pathway by Xia Zheng, Xiaofei Liu, Zhuo Wang, Rui Li, Qiaoli Zhao, Bingbing Song, Kit-Leong Cheong, Jianping Chen, Saiyi Zhong

“…Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a class of glycosaminoglycans covalently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans, is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix and cell surface of animal tissues. In our previous study, CS was used as a template for the synthesis of seleno-chondroitin sulfate (SeCS) through the redox reaction of ascorbic acid (Vc) and sodium selenite (Na₂SeO₃) and we found that SeCS could inhibit tumor cell proliferation and invasion. …”
