Elevated glucose inhibits VEGF-A–mediated endocardial cushion formation: modulation by PECAM-1 and MMP-2

Atrioventricular (AV) septal defects resulting from aberrant endocardial cushion (EC) formation are observed at increased rates in infants of diabetic mothers. EC formation occurs via an epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), involving transformation of endocardial cells into mesenchymal cells...
