Signal transduction by vascular endothelial growth factor receptors

Biochemical Journal, 2011
VEGFs (vascular endothelial growth factors) control vascular development during embryogenesis and the function of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the adult. There are five related mammalian ligands, which act through three receptor tyrosine kinases. Signalling is modulated through neuropilins, which act as VEGF co-receptors.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors

The FASEB Journal, 1999
ABSTRACT Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly specific mitogen for vascular endothelial cells. Five VEGF isoforms are generated as a result of alternative splicing from a single VEGF gene. These isoforms differ in their molecular mass and in biological properties such as their ability to bind to ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 expression in mdx mouse brain

Brain Research, 2002
Recent data have demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is expressed by subsets of neurons, coincident with angiogenesis within its developing cerebral cortex. In this study, with the aim of elucidating the mechanisms of vascular involvement during brain impairment in Duchenne muscular distrophy (DMD), we have correlated the ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Receptors

1995
Abstract Two tyrosine kinases have been recently identified as putative VEGF receptors (deVries et al. 1992; Terman et al. 1992a). The flt-1 (fms-like-tyrosine kinase; Shibuya et al. 1990) and KOR (kinase domain region; Terman et al. 1991) proteins have been shown to bind VEGF with high affinity.

Inhibitors of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2002
The inhibitors of VEGF-mediated signaling continue to wind their way through extensive preclinical and clinical development paths. Whereas the first phase III trial did not meet its endpoints, one hopes that the others will. As we learn more about the VEGF pathways in the laboratory and the clinic, we can interpret with greater certainty what role ...

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

Experimental 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 ...

Signal transduction by vascular endothelial growth factor receptors

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2003
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular permeability factor is the prototype for a growing family of dimeric growth factors, which exert their effects on vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells, as well as on a wide range of other cell types.

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 ...

Immunohistochemical Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor in Canine Cutaneous Fibrosarcomas

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2009
The expression of five markers associated with tumour angiogenesis, proliferation and apoptosis was studied in 24 canine cutaneous fibrosarcomas. Tumours were assigned histological grades and were immunohistochemically evaluated for the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2 ...

Role of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in the vasodilator response to vascular endothelial growth factor in the neonatal piglet lung

Critical Care Medicine, 2005
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) regulates vascular proliferation and causes vasodilation. In the pulmonary circulation, the vasorelaxing effect of VEGF has been attributed to nitric oxide, whereas in other vascular beds, prostacyclin and other mechanisms are also involved. This vascular effect follows binding to two receptors, VEGF receptor 1
