FGF2 and neoplasm: Although hypoxia does not directly alter the relative abundance of macrophage subsets, it induces a pro-tumor gene expression profile in the M2-like macrophage subset (49), including the expression of growth factors (e.g., FGF2, PDGF, and VEGF) (50, 51), angiogenic molecules (e.g., VEGF, FGF2, CXCL8, and IL-8) (52), angiogenic modulators (e.g., COX2 and iNOS) (52), and matrix metalloproteinases (e.g., MMP2, MMP7, and MMP9) (53, 54).
