Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recently, we reported that the forkhead transcription factor, FKHR/FOXO1, is required for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated upregulation of a number of genes in endothelial cells. Here, we tested the hypothesis that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a potent activator of PI3K-Akt in endothelial cells, is capable of depleting the nucleus of FKHR/FOXO1 and thus inhibiting VEGF induction of...
