Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 1996
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a prime regulator of endothelial cell proliferation, angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and vascular permeability. Its activity is mediated by the high affinity tyrosine kinase receptors, KDR/Fik-1 and Fit-1. In this article, recently discovered structural, molecular and biological properties of VEGF are described.

Signaling via Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors

Experimental Cell Research, 1999
Angiogenesis, or development of blood vessels from preexisting vasculature, has important functions under both normal and pathophysiological conditions. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, also known as flt-1, KDR, and flt-4, are endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinases which serve as key mediators of the angiogenic responses ...

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.

Ovarian vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor patterns in reproductive aging

Fertility and Sterility, 2008
To investigate how levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor (VEGFR) change during corpus luteum formation in reproductive aging.Adult and reproductive aging female rats were given pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and the ovaries and sera were collected at 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-3

1999
Cell-cell communication during vascular development and tumour angiogenesis seems to involve at least five endothelial cell-specific tyrosine kinase receptors belonging to two distinct subclasses: two receptors of the Tie family, and three vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptors, VEGFR-1, -2 and -3, originally named Fltl (Fms-like tyrosine ...

Role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors in Vascular Development

1999
Distinct cellular processes mediate blood-vessel formation during embryogenesis (Beck and D’Amore 1997; Carmeliet and Collen 1998a; Folkman and D’Amore 1996; Noden 1989; Risau 1997; Wilting and Christ 1996) (Fig. 1). Initially, mesodermal cells differentiate in situ into early haemangioblasts and form cellular aggregates (blood islands), in which the ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor modulates pulmonary vein arrhythmogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1/NOS pathway

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2021
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common form of arrhythmia with serious public health impacts, but its underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is highly expressed in the atrium of patients with AF, but whether VEGF affects AF pathogenesis remains unclear. Pulmonary veins (PVs) are important sources for

Signal transduction by vascular endothelial growth factor receptors

Biochemical Journal, 2011
VEGFs (vascular endothelial growth factors) control vascular development during embryogenesis and the function of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the adult. There are five related mammalian ligands, which act through three receptor tyrosine kinases. Signalling is modulated through neuropilins, which act as VEGF co-receptors.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors

The FASEB Journal, 1999
ABSTRACT Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly specific mitogen for vascular endothelial cells. Five VEGF isoforms are generated as a result of alternative splicing from a single VEGF gene. These isoforms differ in their molecular mass and in biological properties such as their ability to bind to ...

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 ...
