摘要：
Objective This study aims to investigate the mechanism of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in promoting angiogenesis through endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Methods The mesenchymal transition of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was induced by TGF-beta 1. The angiogenesis, migration, and proliferation of HUVECs undergoing EndMT were examined by tube formation assay, scratch assay, Transwell assay, and CCK-8 assay. Results The outcomes revealed that EndMT promoted angiogenesis, migration, and proliferation of HUVECs and the secretion of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of HUVECs. Phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) increased in EndMT by inhibiting the mitigation of angiogenesis. Conclusion EndMT induces angiogenesis by promoting the secretion of VEGF, and p-AKT participates in this regulation.
