Neem Leaf Glycoprotein (NLGP) is a natural immunomodulator, have shown sustained tumor growth restriction as well as angiogenic normalization chiefly by activating CD8 +  T cells. Here, we have investigated the direct role of NLGP as a regulator of tumor microenvironmental hypoxia and associated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production. We observed a significant reduction in VEGF level in both  in vivo  murine tumor and  in vitro  cancer cells (B16Mel, LLC) and macrophages after NLGP treatment. Interestingly, NLGP mediated VEGF downregulation in tumor cells or macrophages within hypoxic chamber was found at an early 4 h and again at late 24 h in mRNA level. Our data suggested that NLGP prevented hypoxia-induced strong binding of HIF1α with its co-factors, CBP/p300 and Sp3, but not with Sp1, which eventually limit the binding of HIF1α-transcriptional complex to hypoxia responsive element of VEGF promoter and results in restricted early VEGF transcription. On the otherhand, suppressed phosphorylation of Stat3 by NLGP results reduction of HIF1α at 24 h of hypoxia that further support sustained VEGF down-regulation. However, NLGP fails to regulate VHL activity as observed by both  in vivo  and  in vitro  studies. Therefore, this study for the first time reveals a mechanistic insight of NLGP mediated inhibition of angiogenesis by suppressing VEGF, which might help in vascular normalization to influence better drug delivery.
