Abl family kinases regulate endothelial barrier function in vitro and in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The maintenance of endothelial barrier function is essential for normal physiology, and increased vascular permeability is a feature of a wide variety of pathological conditions, leading to complications including edema and tissue damage.

Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C in activating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 and chemokine receptor‐4 in melanoma adhesion

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2022
AbstractVascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) binds to receptor vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) expressed on lymphatic endothelial and melanoma cells. Binding of VEGF‐C to VEGFR‐3 enhances receptor phosphorylation that activates mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAP‐K) and phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K).

Placental growth factor promotes atherosclerotic intimal thickening and macrophage accumulation

, 2005
Background: Placental growth factor (PlGF) has been implicated in the pathophysiological angiogenesis and monocyte recruitment that underlie chronic inflammatory disease, but its role in atherosclerosis has not been examined.

Vascular Targeted Agents for the Treatment of Angiosarcoma [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Angiogenesis is the process of new blood vessel formation, and is regulated by angiogenic growth factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Angiosarcomas are rare, aggressive vascular tumours.

Microvascularization and Expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Their Receptors in the Mare Oviduct

Animals, 2021
The oviduct presents the ideal conditions for fertilization and early embryonic development. In this study, (i) vascularization pattern; (ii) microvascular density; (iii) transcripts of angiogenic factors (FGF1, FGF2, VEGF) and their receptors—FGFR1 ...

Tumour cells expressing single VEGF isoforms display distinct growth, survival and migration characteristics [PDF]

, 2014
Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) is produced by most cancer cells as multiple isoforms, which display distinct biological activities. VEGF plays an undisputed role in tumour growth, vascularisation and metastasis; nevertheless the functions of

Endothelial platelet-derived growth factor-mediated activation of smooth muscle platelet-derived growth factor receptors in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Platelet-derived growth factor is one of the major growth factors found in human and mammalian serum and tissues. Abnormal activation of platelet-derived growth factor signaling pathway through platelet-derived growth factor receptors may contribute to ...

NMDA receptors coordinate brain vascular development via neuron-to-endothelial tip cell crosstalk in zebrafish

Nature Communications
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are a major class of glutamate receptors crucial for neural development and function. Here, we report that NMDARs expressed on neurons regulate brain vascular development via neurovascular communication ...
