Involvement of placental growth factor upregulated via TGF-β1-ALK1-Smad1/5 signaling in prohaptoglobin-induced angiogenesis.

A potential role of haptoglobin in arterial restructuring has been suggested, and our previous study demonstrated that prohaptoglobin, the precursor of haptoglobin, stimulates endothelial angiogenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the angiogenic effects of prohaptoglobin are still unclear. Her...
