Rescue of Angiopoietin‐2 Inhibits Proliferation of Lymphatic Malformation Endothelial Cells
Mechanistic summary of how autocrine ANG2 suppressed LMEC proliferation. Somatic activating SNVs in PIK3CA result in increased PI3K/Akt signaling, Akt‐mediated downregulation of ANG2, and LMEC hyperproliferation. Restoration of autocrine ANG2 in LMECs through overexpression suppressed LMEC proliferation in vitro and lymphangiogenesis in vivo and was ...
