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

Developmental expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 and vascular endothelial growth factor C in forebrain

Neuroscience, 2015
Increased understanding of the neurovascular niche suggests that development of the central nervous system (CNS) and its vasculature is coordinated through shared regulatory factors. These include the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, reported to promote neuroproliferation and neuroprotection in addition to angiogenesis via its ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor A and C gene expression in endometriosis

Human Pathology, 2004
Angiogenesis is essential for the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Gene expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A and C in 10 eutopic endometrial, 23 normal peritoneal, and 62 endometriotic tissues surgically obtained from 47 women with endometriosis (group 2) were compared with those in 12 control eutopic endometrial and 9 normal ...

Vascular endothelial growth factors VEGF-B and VEGF-C

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1997
Vascular endothelial growth factor, which was idenheart cDNA library, respectively, by using a serendipitously found partial mouse cDNA clone as a probe tified almost 10 years ago, has so far been considered as the only growth factor relatively specific for endothelial (20,24).

The Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C in Transplanted Corneas

Current Eye Research, 2009
To discuss the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) after keratoplasty in rats.The Fischer 344 rat corneas were transplanted into Lewis rat eyes. The expression of VEGF-C in cornea was examined by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR.

Serum vascular endothelial growth factor-C and vascular endothelial growth factor level in patients with colorectal carcinoma and clinical significance

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2006
Circulating vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in patients with colorectal carcinoma were determined in order to assess their clinical significance as a diagnostic tool for monitoring lymph node metastasis.

Mechanism of Dimerization of a Recombinant Mature Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C

Biochemistry, 2013
The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their tyrosine kinase receptors play a pivotal role in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during development and in pathologies such as tumor growth. The VEGFs function as disulfide-linked antiparallel homodimers.

Quantification of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) by a novel ELISA

Journal of Immunological Methods, 2004
Lymphangiogenesis plays an important role in several normal and pathological conditions such as wound healing, inflammation or metastasis formation in several malignancies. VEGF-C and VEGF-D are important and specific regulatory factors for lymphatic endothelial proliferation and lymphangiogenesis.

A Common 936 C/T Mutation in the Gene for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Is Associated with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Plasma Levels

Journal of Vascular Research, 2000
<i>Background:</i> Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis. Strong interindividual variations of VEGF plasma levels have been reported previously. Aim of the present study was to search for mutations in the 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR) of the VEGF gene and to analyze their relation to VEGF ...
