Hypoxia-induced reactive oxygen species cause chromosomal abnormalities in endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
There is much evidence that hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment enhances tumor progression. In an earlier study, we reported abnormal phenotypes of tumor-associated endothelial cells such as those resistant to chemotherapy and chromosomal instability ...

VEGF is indirectly associated with NO production

open access: yes, 2012
Background? Increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been observed in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Nitric oxide (NO) formation is reduced in MetS, but its relationship to VEGF production remains poorly defined.

Circulating protein biomarkers in systemic sclerosis related pulmonary arterial hypertension: a review of published data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) develops in 7-12% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and is associated with a 3 year survival of 52%. Early detection by screening is therefore recommended for all patients with SSc.

Serum vascular endothelial growth factor: a prognostic factor in cervical cancer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2008
To study pre-treatment serum VEGF of patients with invasive cervical cancer and its possible role as prognostic indicator.VEGF was measured using ELISA in the largest patient group (n = 167) to date.Serum VEGF was significantly higher in advanced tumor stage (P = 0.01), large tumor size (tumors larger than 2 cm) (P = 0.03), and the presence of vascular

VEGF-A isoforms differentially regulate ATF-2-dependent VCAM-1 gene expression and endothelial-leukocyte interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) regulates many aspects of vascular physiology. VEGF-A stimulates signal transduction pathways that modulate endothelial outputs such as cell migration, proliferation, tubulogenesis, and cell-cell interactions.

Investigation of the mechanism of dural arteriovenous fistula formation induced by high intracranial venous pressure in a rabbit model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: The causes of dural arteriovenous fistula have not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of dural arteriovenous fistula formation induced by high intracranial venous pressure using a rabbit model ...

Outcomes of Live Virus Vaccination in Patients With Vascular Anomalies Being Treated With Sirolimus

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Live vaccination in patients with vascular anomalies (VA) receiving sirolimus remains controversial due to immunosuppressive effects and theoretical risks. Procedure This single‐center retrospective study included patients with VA less than 4 years old at the start of sirolimus therapy who were incompletely vaccinated.

Vascular endothelial growth factor in relation to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C virus patients treated by direct-acting antivirals

open access: yesEgyptian Liver Journal, 2021
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) comprises 5.6% of all cancers worldwide representing the sixth most common cancer. It is also the fourth most common cause of cancer-related mortality.

A peptide derived from TIMP-3 inhibits multiple angiogenic growth factor receptors and tumour growth and inflammatory arthritis in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The binding of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) on the surface of vascular endothelial cells stimulates many steps in the angiogenic pathway.

Serum vascular endothelial growth factor A and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 as prognostic biomarkers for uterine cervical cancer [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2019
There are few studies on serum vascular endothelial growth factors and receptors (VEGF/VEGFRs) in patients with uterine cervical cancer (CC). The aim of this study was to determine whether VEGF/VEGFRs could be used as prognostic biomarkers in patients with CC.A total of 107 patients with stage IB to IIB CC, who underwent radical hysterectomy at Tottori
