Transforming growth factor‐beta 1 (TGF‐β1) induces angiogenesis through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐mediated apoptosis
Open accessAbstract
VEGF and TGF‐β1 induce angiogenesis but have opposing effects on endothelial cells. VEGF protects endothelial cells from apoptosis; TGF‐β1 induces apoptosis. We have previously shown that VEGF/VEGF receptor‐2 (VEGFR2) signaling mediates TGF‐β1 induction of apoptosis. This finding raised an important question: Does this mechanism stimulate or inhibit angiogenesis? Here we report that VEGF‐mediated apoptosis is required for TGF‐β1 induction of angiogenesis. In vitro the apoptotic effect of TGF‐β1 on endothelial cells is rapid and followed by a long period in which the cells are refractory to apoptosis induction by TGF‐β1. Inhibition of VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling abrogates formation of cord‐like structures by TGF‐β1 with an effect comparable to that of z‐VAD, an apoptosis inhibitor. Similarly, genetic deficiency of VEGF abolishes TGF‐β1 upregulation of endothelial cell differentiation and formation of vascular structures in embryoid bodies. In vivo TGF‐β1 induces endothelial cell apoptosis as rapidly as in vitro. Inhibition of VEGF blocks TGF‐β1 induction of both apoptosis and angiogenesis, an effect similar to that of z‐VAD. Thus, TGF‐β1 induction of angiogenesis requires a rapid and transient apoptotic effect mediated by VEGF/VEGFR2. This novel, unexpected role of VEGF and VEGFR2 indicates VEGF‐mediated apoptosis as a potential target to control angiogenesis. J. Cell. Physiol. 219: 449–458, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
