IL-33 enhances Jagged1 mediated NOTCH1 intracellular domain (NICD) deubiquitination and pathological angiogenesis in proliferative retinopathy
Abstract
Loss of IL-33 in a murine model of retinopathy reduces pathological retinal neovascularization, which can be specified to the role of IL-33 in endothelial cells. IL-33 induces sprouting angiogenesis, and it requires NFkappaB-mediated Jagged 1 expression and Notch1 activation.
