Autocrine VEGF maintains endothelial survival through regulation of metabolism and autophagy

2015-06-30

Abstract excerpt

Autocrine VEGF is necessary for endothelial survival, although the cellular mechanisms supporting this function are unknown. Here, we show that – even after full differentiation and maturation – continuous expression of VEGF by endothelial cells is needed to sustain vascular integrity and cellular viability. Depletion of VEGF from the endothelium results in mitochondria fragmentation and suppression ofglucosemetab...
