Figure S1. KinomeView profiling of endothelial cells. A. Experimental overview. Illustration reproduced courtesy of Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (http://www.cellsignal.com). B. HUVECs were treated with VEGF (50 ng/ml) or sorafenib (50 µg/ml) and then analyzed by Western blot with the indicated phospho-motif antibodies. Data represent two independent experiments.
Figure S2. Quality control of phosphoproteomic experiments. A. Scatter plots of raw data showed linear correlation between control and VEGF-treated HUVECs. B. Distribution of changes in phosphorylation from control or sorafenib-treated HUVECs. Scatter plot of raw data is inset. Phospho-peptides with decreased (zscore < 1.5) or increased (z-score > 1.5) phosphorylation are indicated. C. Distribution of changes in phosphorylation from control or VEGF-treated HUVECs
across different time points. Phospho-peptides with decreased (z-score < 1.5) or increased (z-score > 1.5) phosphorylation are indicated.
Figure S3. Regulation of PI3K-mTORC2-Akt-FoxO1 axis by VEGF. A. Quantification of VEGF-induced would closure (n=3 biological replicates; *p<0.01, Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney tests). B. Mass spectra of a phospho-peptide from FoxO1. C. HUVECs were stimulated with VEGF (50 ng/ml) as indicated. Components of the PI3K-mTORC2-Akt pathway were immunoblotted with phospho-specific antibodies. Data represent two independent experiments.
Figure S4. Different classes of small-molecule inhibitors used in the study. The concentrations were determined for the inhibitors to inhibit corresponding pathways upon VEGF activation. Data represent two independent experiments.
Figure S5. VEGF signaling mechanisms to regulate phosphorylation. A. HUVECs were pre-treated with PI3K inhibitors (0.5 µm), stimulated with VEGF (50 ng/ml), and analyzed by Western blot with the AKT motif antibody. Data represent two independent experiments. B. HUVEC viability in the presence of emerolimus was measured by CellTiter-Glo luminescent assays (n=8 biological replicates). C. Raptor, rictor or mtor was knocked down in HUVECs and cell viability was assessed by CellTiter-Glo luminescent assays (n=8 biological replicates). D. Quantification of HUVEC sprouts in response to different inhibitors (n=3 biological replicates; *p<0.01, ANOVA followed by Dunnett tests). E. Microarray analysis of the VEGF gene signature (n=3 biological replicates). F. The ratio of the amount of FoxO1 Thr 24 to that of total FoxO1 (n=3 biological replicates; *p<0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney tests). G.
