Article Title: Transglutaminase 2 modulates inflammatory angiogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 pathway in inflammatory bowel disease

doi: 10.1016/j.jare.2025.07.002

Figure Lengend Snippet: STAT1-TGM2-VEGFR2 axis drives inflammatory angiogenesis in IBD. (A) The mRNA transcription of TGM2 was significantly upregulated upon stimulation with inflammatory cytokines IL-9, IL-23, and IFN-γ in HIMECs (n = 3 in each group). (B, C) The results of WB demonstrated that stimulation with IL-9, IL-23, and IFN-γ upregulated the protein expression of TGM2 in HIMEC. (D) Stimulation with inflammatory cytokines IL-9, IL-23, and IFN-γ significantly augmented the in vitro angiogenic capacity of HIMECs, while knockdown of TGM2 effectively reversed this effect. (E, F) IL-9, IL-23 and IFN-γ stimulation significantly enhanced the phosphorylation of VEGFR2 at Tyr1059, Tyr1214 and activated the downstream pathways such as FAK, PLC-γ and MAPK pathways in HIMEC, which were reversed by TGM2 knockdown. (G) IF results showed VEGFR2 co-localizes with TGM2 in HIMEC, mainly on the cell membrane. (H) Co-IP results substantiated the interaction between TGM2 and VEGFR2. (I) The CHIP assay confirmed the binding of STAT1 to the upstream promoter region of TGM2, thereby facilitating transcription following IFN-γ stimulation.
