VEGF guides angiogenic sprouting utilizing endothelial tip cell filopodia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) is a major regulator of blood vessel formation and function. it controls several processes in endothelial cells, such as proliferation, survival, and migration, but it is not known how these are coordinately ...

Cystatin C Expression is Promoted by VEGFA Blocking, With Inhibitory Effects on Endothelial Cell Angiogenic Functions Including Proliferation, Migration, and Chorioallantoic Membrane Angiogenesis

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Vascular development, including vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, is involved in many diseases. Cystatin C (CST3) is a commonly used marker of renal dysfunction, and we have previously reported that its expression level is associated with ...

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

open access: yesExperimental 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 production and regulation in rodent and human pituitary tumor cells in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Angiogenesis, the formation of a new blood supply, is an essential step in tumorigenesis. Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be a very potent angiogenic factor in most solid tumors, little is known about its production and ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor-C enhances radiosensitivity of lymphatic endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yesAngiogenesis, 2013
Radiation therapy after lymph node dissection increases the risk of developing painful and incurable lymphedema in breast cancer patients. Lymphedema occurs when lymphatic vessels become unable to maintain proper fluid balance. The sensitivity of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to ionizing radiation has not been reported to date.

Astrocyte-derived vascular endothelial growth factor stabilizes vessels in the developing retinal vasculature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a critical role in normal development as well as retinal vasculature disease. During retinal vascularization, VEGF is most strongly expressed by not yet vascularized retinal astrocytes, but also by retinal ...

Dynamic soluble changes in sVEGFR1, HGF, and VEGF promote chemotherapy and bevacizumab resistance: A prospective translational study in the BECOX (GEMCAD 09-01) trial

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
Despite initial responsiveness, acquired resistance to both bevacizumab and chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer is universal. We have recently published that in vitro, chronically oxaliplatin resistance upregulates soluble vascular endothelial ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor restores delayed tumor progression in tumors depleted of macrophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Genetic depletion of macrophages in Polyoma Middle T oncoprotein (PyMT)-induced mammary tumors in mice delayed the angiogenic switch and the progression to malignancy.

Circulating humoral factors and endothelial progenitor cells in patients with differing coronary collateral support [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Background - The mechanisms underlying the variation in collateral formation between patients, even with similar patterns of coronary artery disease, remain unclear.

Clinical significance of VEGF-A, -C and -D expression in esophageal malignancies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Vascular endothelial growth factors ( VEGF)- A, - C and - D are members of the proangiogenic VEGF family of glycoproteins. VEGF-A is known to be the most important angiogenic factor under physiological and pathological conditions, while VEGF-C and VEGF-D
