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.

Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor‐C in human hepatocellular carcinoma

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2006
AbstractBackground/Aims:  Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) is thought to be an important factor in tumor angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis, but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been fully investigated.Methods:  We immunohistochemically examined VEGF‐C expression in surgically resected tissues of 90 HCC.Results:  In the ...

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 ...

[Prokaryotic expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C].

Hua xi kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Huaxi kouqiang yixue zazhi = West China journal of stomatology, 2004
To evaluate whether the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C cDNA which cloned from a patient with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of tongue can encode a functional protein or not.RT-PCR was employed to clone the functional VEGF-C fragment from the surgical specimen of a lingual SCC patient.

Role of vascular endothelial growth factor C in classical Hodgkin lymphoma

Leukemia & Lymphoma, 2015
We performed three different studies to obtain additional data on the biological and prognostic role of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL): (1) serum VEGFC levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 80 patients; (2) immunohistochemical VEGFC expression in tumor tissue was evaluated using a

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.

Clinical significance of vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) in breast cancer

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2001
Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is a specific ligand which induces lymphangiogenesis. We examined the expression of VEGF-C protein to determine its role in the progression of breast cancer. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that VEGF-C was overexpressed in 39 of 98 breast cancer specimens (39.8%) but not in adjacent normal mammary ...

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.

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) expression predicts metastasis in tongue cancer

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, 2015
We evaluated predictive factors for cervical lymph node metastasis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).We present a retrospective analysis of 90 patients with T1-2 N0 SCC who underwent primary excision as initial treatment without preoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Vascular endothelial growth factor C and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 expression in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck

Head & Neck, 2003
AbstractBackground and Methods.VEGF proteins and their receptors are involved in tumor vessel neoformation. The third VEGF receptor, VEGFR3 (flt‐4) is important during both blood vessel development and lymphatic vessel formation. Because HNSCC preferentially metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, we investigated the expression of VEGFR3 and its ligand ...
