Different significance between intratumoral and peritumoral lymphatic vessel density in gastric cancer: a retrospective study of 123 cases [PDF]

, 2010
Background Patients with gastric cancer in China have worse outcome and poorer prognosis. Tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis plays a crucial role in metastasis and tumor progression.

Synaptonemal complex protein 3 is associated with lymphangiogenesis in non-small cell lung cancer patients with lymph node metastasis

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2017
Background The interaction of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C)/VEGF-D/VEGF receptor-3 is considered to be a major driver of lymphangiogenesis, however the mechanism of this process remains unclear.

Effect of vascular endothelial growth factors A, C, and D in HIV-associated pre-eclampsia

Hypertension in Pregnancy, 2017
Objective: To measure and correlate the level of vascular endothelial growth factors A, C, and D in HIV-associated pre-eclampsia. Methods: VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D were measured in serum of 76 normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnant women stratified by

Correlation between tear levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and vitamin D at retinopathy of prematurity stages in preterm infants

Scientific Reports, 2023
Deregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels leads to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Vitamin D (VIT-D) is known to regulate VEGF in an oxygen dependent manner.

Clinical procedure for colon carcinoma tissue sampling directly affects the cancer marker-capacity of VEGF family members [PDF]

, 2012
Background: mRNA levels of members of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor family (VEGF-A, -B, -C, -D, Placental Growth Factor/PlGF) have been investigated as tissue-based markers of colon cancer.

VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D in Colorectal Cancer Progression

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2001
We aimed to assess the relationship of the angiogenic cytokines VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D and their receptors VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 in the adenomacarcinoma sequence and in metastatic spread of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Serum vascular endothelial growth factor-D as a diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundIn lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), tuberous sclerosis gene mutations activate the mechanistic target of the rapamycin pathway, resulting in vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) overproduction.

Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promote Myelin Regeneration in an Animal Model of Multiple Sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2019
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) display potent immunomodulatory and regenerative capabilities through the secretion of bioactive factors, such as proteins, cytokines, chemokines as well as the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs).
