Critical physiological and pathological functions of Forkhead Box O tumor suppressors 2013-12-31 .txt text/plain 9235 419 38 FOXO proteins are considered unique cellular targets, regulating a wide variety of critical cellular processes, such as: apoptosis, oxidative stress, DNA damage repair, cell cycle, stem cell proliferation and maintenance, metabolism, angiogenesis, vascular tone, cardiovascular development, fertility, immune response and neuronal survival 4, 20 . Hence, the FOXO transcription factors control the expression of a wide spectrum of genes that regulate essential physiological cellular processes, such as cell death/cell survival, cell cycle, cell proliferation, cell differentiation/development, angiogenesis, cell metabolism, stress response and stem cell maintenance 33,34,35,36,37,38 (Figure 2) . Moreover, the consensus FOXO recognition element (FRE) -(G/C)(T/A)AA(C/T)AA -which differs from that of other forkhead proteins, seems to have a very important role in both apoptotic pathways, since matching functional FRE sites have been identified in the promoters of FOXO target genes encoding Fas ligand (FasL), insulin like growth factorbinding protein 1 (IGFBP1), the apoptotic regulator Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim) and others 30 . ./cache/cord-014661-mrh2pbi6.txt ./txt/cord-014661-mrh2pbi6.txt
