Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 3 in Corneal Lymphangiogenesis

Experimental Eye Research, 2001
Lymphangiogenesis has been reported in vascularized corneas. However, the molecular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis in the cornea are still unclear. Since lymphatic vessels may contribute to a decreased success rate of keratoplasty in vascularized cornea by accelerating antigen recognition and graft rejection, elucidation of the mechanisms of corneal ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 expression in mdx mouse brain

Brain Research, 2002
Recent data have demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is expressed by subsets of neurons, coincident with angiogenesis within its developing cerebral cortex. In this study, with the aim of elucidating the mechanisms of vascular involvement during brain impairment in Duchenne muscular distrophy (DMD), we have correlated the ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Type 2 Receptor for This Factor in Vascular Malformations

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2011
Immunohistochemical study revealed higher level of VEGF expression in vascular malformations compared to that in normal vessels of the adjacent tissue. VEGF expression was slightly higher in the endothelium of arteriovenous angiodysplasias than in venous angiodysplasias.

Signal transduction by vascular endothelial growth factor receptors

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2003
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular permeability factor is the prototype for a growing family of dimeric growth factors, which exert their effects on vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells, as well as on a wide range of other cell types.

Endothelial Cell Death and Decreased Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Emphysema

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
Abstract Emphysema due to cigarette smoking is characterized by a loss of alveolar structures. We hypothesize that the disappearance of alveoli involves apoptosis of septal endothelial cells and a decreased expression of lung vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2 (VEGF R2).

Increased Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Receptors

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006
Abstract Rationale Increased vascularity is a feature of airway remodeling in asthma with the potential to contribute to a number of functional abnormalities in this chronic disease. Although various growth factors have been implicated in modulating vascularity, the important contributors in ...

Function of fibroblast growth factors and vascular endothelial growth factors and their receptors in angiogenesis

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2000
Angiogenesis, formation of new vessels from pre-existing ones, results from stimulation of endothelial cells, which line the vessel wall. These cells will leave their resting state and start to digest the basement membrane, proliferate, migrate and eventually differentiate to form a hollow tube. All these steps can be induced by growth factors and this

[Expression of pulmonary vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor in emphysema].

Zhonghua nei ke za zhi, 2006
To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2/KDR) in lung tissues of emphysema patients.The peripheral lung tissues were obtained from 35 patients undergoing pneumonectomy.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 Expression in the Chick Embryo Area Vasculosa

The Histochemical Journal, 2001
Vascular endothelial growth factor is an angiogenic factor in vivo and in vitro that plays a crucial role in the control of blood vessel development and in pathological angiogenesis. The vascularized extraembryonic membranes of the chick embryo include the area vasculosa and the chorioallantoic membrane. In this study, we investigated the expression of

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors as Anti-Angiogenic Agents in Cancer Therapy

Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery, 2007
New blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) is fundamental to the process of tumor growth, invasion, and metastatic dissemination. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of ligands and receptors are well established as key regulators of these processes.
