Intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor [PDF]

open access: possibleGraefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2014
To evaluate whether a specific pre-analytical stabilization regimen is needed for naïve vitreous taps to detect true values of intrinsic VEGF levels.Fourteen consecutive patients with different vitreomacular pathologies without blood-retina-barrier breakdown were scheduled for standard 23-gauge three-port pars plana vitrectomy, and naïve vitreous taps ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor in the lung

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2006
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a pluripotent growth and permeability factor that has a broad impact on endothelial cell function. The lung tissue is very rich in this protein; many different lung cells produce VEGF and also respond to VEGF.

Cytokines and growth factors in endothelial dysfunction

Critical Care Medicine, 1993
The purpose of this focused review is to call attention to the important interrelationships between growth factors (e.g., transforming growth factor-beta) and cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor [TNF]) on endothelial function as characterized by the ability of the endothelium to release endothelium-derived relaxing factor.Myocardial ischemia ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Angiogenesis

Pharmacological Reviews, 2004
Angiogenesis is a hallmark of wound healing, the menstrual cycle, cancer, and various ischemic and inflammatory diseases. A rich variety of pro- and antiangiogenic molecules have already been discovered. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an interesting inducer of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, because it is a highly specific mitogen for

Vascular endothelial growth factor

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1998
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a crucial role in angiogenesis in development, in cancer and in other important diseases. VEGF regulates multiple endothelial cell functions including mitogenesis, permeability, vascular tone, and the production of vasoactive molecules.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C A Growth Factor for Lymphatic and Blood Vascular Endothelial Cells

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1998
The endothelial cells lining all vessels of the circulatory system have been recognized as key players in a variety of physiological and pathological settings. They act as regulators of vascular tone via the inducible nitric oxide system and in angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels de novo. Aberrant regulation of endothelial cells contributes to

Multimodality imaging of vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor expression

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007
Angiogenesis is a critical process in both physiological development and many pathological processes. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor (VEGFR) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating angiogenesis. Many therapeutic agents targeting VEGF and VEGFR are currently in preclinical and clinical development.

Differential Endothelial Migration and Proliferation to Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Growth Factors, 1996
Neovascularization is a feature of a variety of pathological processes. We compared the characteristics of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on migration and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelium (HUVEC).

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Microvascular Permeability

Microcirculation, 1999
ABSTRACTVascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are endogenously produced vascular cytokines which result in angiogenesis, vasodilatation, and increased microvascular permeabilityin vivo. They are endothelial specific and result in mitosis, migration, stress fiber formation and increased permeability of endothelial cells in culture.
