| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We explored forkhead transcription factors-dependent genes in macrophages and endothelial cells, using macrophage-specific FoxO1/3a/4-knockout mice and FoxO1-constitutive-active adenovirus, respectively. FoxO1/3a/4 ablation in macrophages markedly inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory responses. In EC, FoxO1 overexpression strongly induced lipocalin-2 expression.
