Both TGFß1 and TGFß2 isoforms induce early EndoMT under normoxia and hypoxia.
During this early EndoMT there is a higher ratio of Snail/Slug nuclear accumulation.
Both TGFß1 and TGFß2 significantly reduce nuclear levels of Zeb2 under hypoxia.
Hypoxia only enhances nuclear accumulation of phosho-Smad2 in response to TGFß1.
In hypoxia, Snail facilitates cord formation in the presence of TGFß2 but not of TGFß1.
