Myoferlin Regulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 Stability and Function [PDF]
Myoferlin and dysferlin are members of the ferlin family of membrane proteins. Recent studies have shown that mutation or genetic disruption of myoferlin or dysferlin promotes muscular dystrophy-related phenotypes in mice, which are the result of impaired plasma membrane integrity. However, no biological functions have been ascribed to myoferlin in non-

Delphinidin, a dietary anthocyanidin, inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 phosphorylation [PDF]
Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has a beneficial preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases and cancer by mechanisms that have not yet been elucidated. In this work, we investigated the antiangiogenic activities of anthocyanidins, a class of polyphenols present at high levels in fruits.

6'-Sialylgalactose inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2-mediated angiogenesis. [PDF]
Abstract Angiogenesis should be precisely regulated because disordered neovascularization is involved in the aggravation of multiple diseases. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A/VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) axis is crucial for controlling angiogenic responses in vascular endothelial cells (ECs).

Tumor-Specific Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 but Not Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor or Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Is Associated With Impaired Response to Adjuvant Tamoxifen in Premenopausal Breast Cancer [PDF]
Purpose Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) are often coexpressed in breast cancer, and potentially affect cellular pathways and key proteins such as the estrogen receptor (ER) targeted by endocrine treatment.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 in breast cancer [PDF]
Investigations over the last decade have established the essential role of growth factors and their receptors during angiogenesis and carcinogenesis. The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family in mammals contains three members, VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1) and VEGFR-3 (Flt-4), which are transmembrane tyrosine kinase ...

Reversible acetylation regulates vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 activity [PDF]
The tyrosine kinase receptor vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is a key regulator of angiogenesis. Here we show that VEGFR2 is acetylated in endothelial cells both at four lysine residues forming a dense cluster in the kinase insert domain and at a single lysine located in the receptor activation loop. These modifications are under

Vascular endothelial growth factor C promotes survival of retinal vascular endothelial cells via vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 [PDF]
To determine vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) expression in retinal endothelial cells, its antiapoptotic potential and its putative role in diabetic retinopathy.Cultured retinal endothelial cells and pericytes were exposed to tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha and VEGF-C expression determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain ...

248EXPRESSION AND LOCALIZATION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR 2 IN EQUINE FOLLICLES [PDF]
Ovarian follicles undergo pronounced morphological changes, alternating between periods of growth and regression. The equine follicle will grow to an average of 45mm in diameter at ovulation, and during the phase of growth, there is an increase in blood supply to the follicle. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine that interacts with
