Transcriptome of endogenous Foxo1 and Foxo3a in endothelial cells. HUVECs were transfected with a Foxo1- and Foxo3a-specific siRNA or a scrambled oligonucleotide siRNA (each n = 3). Total RNA was isolated after 24 hours, and the gene expression profile was assessed with the Affymetrix gene chip expression assay. (A) Gene tree analysis of selected angiogenesis-related genes. Red indicates high expression. Genes regulated by Foxo1 and Foxo3a siRNA transfection are indicated by white boxes. (B) Validation of angiogenesis-related Foxo1- and Foxo3a-regulated genes. HUVECs were transfected with Foxo1- and Foxo3a-specific siRNAs and lysed 24 hours after transfection. Cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE, and expression of eNOS, Elk-3, Ang2, Foxo1, and Foxo3a was determined by Western blot analysis. Tubulin and ERK1/2 served as loading controls.
