Importantly, we demonstrate that EGFR-phosphorylated PFKP Y64 has critical roles in both AKT/SP1-mediated transcriptional expression of HIF-1α and in the AKT-mediated β-catenin S552 phosphorylation, to fully enhance VEGF transcription, subsequently promoting blood vessel formation and brain tumor growth. Here, VEGFA is linked to brain neoplasm.
