The hypoxia responsive region (HRR) of the VEGF promoter plays a key role in regulating
VEGF expression. We found that the cold shock domain (Y-box) repressor proteins, dbpA
and dbpB/YB-1, bind distinct strands of the human VEGF HRR. We find both dbpA and dbpB
are phosphorylated by ERK2 and GSK3β in vitro, and the binding of dbpB to single-strand
VEGF HRR DNA is regulated by this phosphorylation. These findings suggest the
ERK/MAPK and PI3K pathways may regulate VEGF expression in part through regulating …
