TL;DR
It is suggested that the inhibition of cell growth they induce is effected by protease inhibitors native to connective tissues.
Abstract
Extracts of bovine dermis and cartilage inhibit the growth of bovine endothelial cells more than that of most of the fibroblast types tested. Extracts of cartilage, a tissue rather resistant to invasion, inhibit the growth of endothelial cells more than extracts of dermis do. Since such extracts contain antiproteolytic activity, it is suggested that the inhibition of cell growth they induce is effected by protease inhibitors native to connective tissues.

Liquid scintillation measurements of [3H]thymidine incorporation in primary and secondary endothelial cultures in microwell trays showed a similar correlation of DNA synthesis with cell density, indicating that endothelial cell cultures may provide a useful in vitro model for studying pathophysiologic factors in endothelial regeneration.

Reduction and alkylation of isolated proteoglycan subunit and of the glycoprotein fraction suggest that disulfide bonds in both are required for aggregation, but that those in the former are more sensitive to reduction.

The experiments suggest that the cartilage inhibitor does not antagonize tumor angiogenesis factor, but appears to inhibit capillary proliferation directly, and may prove useful as a means of maintining tumor dormancy by "antiangiogenesis."

Removal of plasminogen markedly depressed the plating efficiency of transformed cells in soft agar, eliminated their characteristic aggregation, and substantially reduced the extent of migration in oncogenic transformation.

If puppy tissues are explanted onto the chick chorioallantoic membrane, those tissues which normally have a blood supply are rapidly invaded by vascularized mesenchyme of host origin, while calcified cartilage, which normally is vascularized, is penetrable.

A system whereby pure cultures of endothelial cells derived from umbilical veins can be subcultured for at least five serial passages and many facets of endothelium function and interaction can be evaluated with the use of this new adaptive system of isolation and culture.

It seems reasonable to suggest that hyaline cartilage is both avascular and resistant to invasion because it contains extractable inhibitors of invasion, perhaps in the form of proteinase inhibitors.
