Benzodiazepine receptor agonist carbacetam modulates the level of vascular endothelial growth factor in the retina of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes [PDF]
One of the primary mechanisms of retinal neurodegeneration in diabetes mellitus is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) deficiency that makes the use of GABA-benzodiazepine receptor modulators a promising option for the correction of this diabetic complication.

Mechanisms of vascular morphogenesis and stabilization by VEGF dose [PDF]
VEGF is the master regulator of angiogenesis and the most investigated factor in therapeutic angiogenesis approaches to induce the growth of new vessels that could restore oxygen and nutrients supply in tissues affected by ischemia.

Expression of Diverse Angiogenesis Factor in Different Stages of the 4T1 Tumor as a Mouse Model of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer [PDF]
Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is specified by high vascularity and repetitious metastasis. Although several studies have indicated that angiogenesis has an important role in invasive breast cancer, a suitable model of TNBC that can show ...

VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D in Colorectal Cancer Progression
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 adenoma-carcinoma sequence and in metastatic spread of colorectal cancer (CRC). mRNA expression levels were measured using semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in 70 CRC (35 with paired ...

VEGF guides angiogenic sprouting utilizing endothelial tip cell filopodia [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) is a major regulator of blood vessel formation and function. it controls several processes in endothelial cells, such as proliferation, survival, and migration, but it is not known how these are coordinately ...

Immunoreactivity of the anti-VEGF-A121 and anti-VEGF-A165 monoclonal antibodies.
Mixture of rhVEGF-A121, rhVEGF-A165 and rhVEGF-A189 (50 μg each) were subjected to 15% SDS Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The transferred membrane was detected with anti-VEGF-A polyclonal antibody (left panel), anti-VEGF-A165 monoclonal ...

VEGF₁₂₁b and VEGF₁₆₅b are weakly angiogenic isoforms of VEGF-A.
Different isoforms of VEGF-A (mainly VEGF₁₂₁, VEGF₁₆₅ and VEGF189) have been shown to display particular angiogenic properties in the generation of a functional tumor vasculature. Recently, a novel class of VEGF-A isoforms, designated as VEGF(xxx)b, generated through alternative splicing, have been described.

VEGF(164)-mediated inflammation is required for pathological, but not physiological, ischemia-induced retinal neovascularization [PDF]
Hypoxia-induced VEGF governs both physiological retinal vascular development and pathological retinal neovascularization. In the current paper, the mechanisms of physiological and pathological neovascularization are compared and contrasted.

Canstatin represses glioma growth by inhibiting formation of VM-like structures
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is different from classical tumor angiogenesis and does not depend on endothelial cells. VM is closely related to the prognosis of various cancers. Canstatin was first identified as an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor.
