May mediate endothelial responses via IL-8; hypothesis-generating for angiogenesis therapies, requires in vivo validation.
Does Angiopoietin-1 promote endothelial cell proliferation and migration through IL-8 production in HUVECs?
Angiopoietin-1 promotes endothelial cell migration and proliferation partly through the autocrine production of IL-8 via AP-1 activation.
