j ^elieved to be the most potent and predominant angiogenesis
stimulator and it appears to play a key role in angiogenesis

j Its antiangiogenic effects result from
j ëhe PI3K/Akt
PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is central to the regulation of
angiogenesis and other cellular processes

Under regular oxygen conditions, HIF-

through production of pro-
pro-angiogenic cytokines including
VEGF
j Interestingly, I-
I-8 was found to induce VEGF expression in
endothelial cells leading to autocrine activation of VEGF

Koga et al found significantly higher levels of HIF-
malignant fibrous histiocytoma compared to dermatofibroma
and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

hemangioma-derived endothelial cell cultures
and found an increase in mA expression of Ang1 and ëie

PÔ-induced wound healing response may lead to new
vessel formation
j ëhey showed that there was migration of mast cells from the
papillary dermis to basal lamina, and these mast cells were
localized close to endothelial cells
