Deficiency of endothelium-specific transcription factor Sox17 induces intracranial aneurysm.
BACKGROUND Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common vascular disorder that frequently leads to fatal vascular rupture. Although various acquired risk factors associated with IA have been identified, the hereditary basis of IA remains poorly understood. As a result, genetically modified animals accurately modeling IA and related pathogenesis have been lacking, and subsequent drug development has b...
متن کاملSoxF Transcription Factors Are Positive Feedback Regulators of VEGF Signaling.
RATIONALE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is a key pathway for angiogenesis and requires highly coordinated regulation. Although the Notch pathway-mediated suppression of excessive VEGF activity via negative feedback is well known, the positive feedback control for augmenting VEGF signaling remains poorly understood. Transcription factor Sox17 is indispensable for angiogenes...
متن کاملSox17 is indispensable for acquisition and maintenance of arterial identity
The functional diversity of the arterial and venous endothelia is regulated through a complex system of signalling pathways and downstream transcription factors. Here we report that the transcription factor Sox17, which is known as a regulator of endoderm and hemopoietic differentiation, is selectively expressed in arteries, and not in veins, in the mouse embryo and in mouse postnatal retina an...
متن کاملNotch pathway targets proangiogenic regulator Sox17 to restrict angiogenesis.
RATIONALE The Notch pathway stabilizes sprouting angiogenesis by favoring stalk cells over tip cells at the vascular front. Because tip and stalk cells have different properties in morphology and function, their transcriptional regulation remains to be distinguished. Transcription factor Sox17 is specifically expressed in endothelial cells, but its expression and role at the vascular front rema...
متن کاملSOX17 Regulates Conversion of Human Fibroblasts Into Endothelial Cells and Erythroblasts by Dedifferentiation Into CD34+ Progenitor Cells
BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying the dedifferentiation and lineage conversion of adult human fibroblasts into functional endothelial cells have not yet been fully defined. Furthermore, it is not known whether fibroblast dedifferentiation recapitulates the generation of multipotent progenitors during embryonic development, which give rise to endothelial and hematopoietic cell lineages. Here ...
