Angiogenic potential of autophagy. Starvation-induced autophagy triggers cell migration and in vitro angiogenesis by activating of VEGF and AKT protein on ECs. AGGF1-induced autophagy is a candidate for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction treatment. Chemerin, a novel adipose tissue cytokine, also has a stimulatory effect on retinal endothelial cells angiogenesis by promoting autophagy activity and expression of the autophagy-related proteins LC3 and Beclin-1 increased during chemerin-induced migration and tubular formation
