Altered expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, and Soluble Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from normal and preeclamptic pregnancies

Chinese Journal of Physiology, 2019
Preeclampsia (PE) is the leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It complicates around 2%–10% pregnancies worldwide due to imbalance between proangiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors, leading to incomplete placentation, ischemia, and

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Human Melanoma Cytolysis by Combined Inhibition of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor/Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 [PDF]

Cancer Research, 2008
AbstractVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a vital role in tumor angiogenesis. VEGF is produced by human melanomas, and the VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is expressed by most advanced stage melanomas, suggesting the possibility of an autocrine loop.

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR-2)/KDR Inhibitors: Medicinal Chemistry Perspective

Medicine in Drug Discovery, 2019
New blood vessels formation from the existing vasculature is called angiogenesis. It is an essential physiological process for the growth of cells, tissue repair, wound healing, and reproductive system of females.

Potential mechanisms involved on how systemic IgG antibodies specific to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and induced by active immunotherapy decrease platelet derived free-VEGF

Platelets, 2022
CIGB-247 is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-based active immunotherapy and it is currently under investigation for cancer treatment. This specific active immunotherapy encompasses two vaccine candidates that use a human VEGF variant molecule ...

A Recombinant Mutant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C that Has Lost Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 Binding, Activation, and Vascular Permeability Activities [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the VEGF-C promote growth of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, respectively. VEGF activates the endothelial VEGF receptors (VEGFR) 1 and 2, and VEGF-C activates VEGFR-3 and VEGFR-2. Both VEGF and VEGF-C are also potent vascular permeability factors.

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Marked Long‐Term Improvement in Lung Function in Melanoma Differentiation–Associated Protein 5 Antibody–Positive Dermatomyositis Patients: Experience of a Single‐Center Longitudinal Cohort in North America

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to describe the longitudinal disease course and pulmonary outcomes of North American patients with melanoma differentiation–associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibody–associated dermatomyositis (DM). Methods Thirty patients with MDA5 antibody–associated DM were identified in a single‐center longitudinal cohort of 352
