Research Abstract |
We have generated ARIA (former BLADE) knockout mice, and analyzed the ARIA function in the regulation of neovessel formation. By using the hind-limb ischemia model, we revealed that genetic deletion of ARIA substantiallyenhanced the ischemia-induced neovascularization. Moreover, we found that ARIA is highly expressed in endothelial progenitor cells as well, and regulates their angiogenic functions by modulating the PI3K/Akt pathway.
