| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we performed immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis to elucidate whether LAM cells express Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-D through the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1(mTORC1)/ Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1a (HIF-1a)/ VEGF pathway. LAM cells were immunopositive for p-70S6K, p-S6, p-4E-BP1, and VEGF-D in all patients examined. On the other hand, no nuclear expression of HIF-1a was detected in any LAM cells. Western blot analysis confirmed no expression of HIF-1a in LAM cells. Our results suggest that LAM cells expressed VEGF-D though mTORC1/HIF-1a/VEGF-independent pathway.
