miR-15a-5p suppresses peritoneal fibrosis induced by peritoneal dialysis via targeting VEGF in rats
Aim When peritoneal fibrosis (PF) causes ultrafiltration failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, PD has to be discontinued. Currently, there is no effective way to relieve PF.

Control of VEGF-A transcriptional programs by pausing and genomic compartmentalization. [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a master regulator of angiogenesis, vascular development and function. In this study we investigated the transcriptional regulation of VEGF-A-responsive genes in primary human aortic endothelial cells ...

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.

Clinical significance of VEGF-A, -C and -D expression in esophageal malignancies [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factors ( VEGF)- A, - C and - D are members of the proangiogenic VEGF family of glycoproteins. VEGF-A is known to be the most important angiogenic factor under physiological and pathological conditions, while VEGF-C and VEGF-D

Umbelliprenin Inhibited Angiogenesis and Metastasis of MDA-MB-231 Cell Line through Downregulation of CoCl2 / EGFMediated PI3K / AKT / ERK Signaling [PDF]
Background: Breast cancer is known to be one of the most prevalent malignancies in women worldwide. Umbelliprenin (UMB) is a naturally-occurring component derived from plant species, which has shown anticancer properties.

VEGF-Independent Angiogenic Factors: Beyond VEGF/VEGFR2 Signaling [PDF]
Tumors induce angiogenesis to acquire oxygen and nutrition from their adjacent microenvironment. Tumor angiogenesis has been believed to be induced primarily by the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) from various tumors.

Biomarker analyses of clinical outcomes in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with Sorafenib with or without Erlotinib in the SEARCH Trial [PDF]
Purpose: Sorafenib is the current standard therapy for advanced HCC, but validated biomarkers predicting clinical outcomes are lacking. This study aimed to identify biomarkers predicting prognosis and/or response to sorafenib, with or without erlotinib,

NF-κB signaling and crosstalk during carcinogenesis
Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that control the transcription of genetic information from DNA to mRNA by binding to specific DNA sequences either on their own or with other proteins as a complex.
