This study investigates the angiogenic role of Forkhead box protein P1 (FoxP1) in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). The results show that FoxP1 promotes angiogenesis in the post-MI heart by promoting endothelial cell proliferation, suggesting it as a potential target for therapeutic cardiac angiogenesis.
Forkhead box protein P1 (FoxP1) is essential for cardiac development and the regulation of neovascularization, but its potential for cardiac angiogenesis has not been explored. This study aims to investigate the angiogenic role of FoxP1 in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). Adult male rats were subjected to MI, and Foxp1 was knocked down with lentivirus FoxP1 siRNA. Endothelial cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and cardiac function were also assessed. Cell scratch assay and tubule formation analysis were used to detect the migration ability and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Compared with that in the sham group, results showed that the expression of FoxP1 was significantly increased in the MI group. Foxp1 knockdown decreases FoxP1 expression, reduces angiogenesis, and increases collagen deposition. When Foxp1 was knocked down in HUVECs using FoxP1 siRNA lentivirus, cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation abilities decreased significantly. Our study showed that FoxP1 elicits pleiotropic beneficial actions on angiogenesis in the post-MI heart by promoting the proliferation of endothelial cells. FoxP1 should be considered a candidate for therapeutic cardiac angiogenesis.
