AKT/FOXO1 axis links cross-talking of endothelial cell and pericyte in TIE2-mutated venous malformations
31 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Venous malformations (VMs), most of which associated with activating mutations in the endothelial cells (ECs) tyrosine kinase receptor TIE2, are characterized by dilated and immature veins with scarce smooth muscle cells (SMCs) coverage. However, the underlying mechanism of interaction between ECs and SMCs responsible for VMs has not been fully understood. METHODS: Here, we screened 5 patients with...
