TEM8 and VEGFR2 Can Negatively Regulate β1 Integrin-Mediated NFAT-Dependent VEGFR1 Expression through Complex Formation
In normal endothelial cells (ECs), β1 integrin activation leads to NFAT-dependent transcription of FLT1 (VEGFR1), the VEGF decoy receptor. However, this pathway can be dampened by complex formation between β1 integrin, VEGFR2, and TEM8. In hemangioma ECs (hemECs), constitutive VEGF signaling may be due to enhanced complex formation in hemECs versus normal ECs, which then leads to decreased FLT1 transcription.
