Hypoxia and vascular endothelial growth factor stimulate angiogenic integrin expression in bovine retinal microvascular endothelial cells.
PURPOSE Integrins alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 are cell-to-matrix adhesion molecules that have been reported to mediate vascular cell proliferation and migration. The authors investigated the regulation of expression of these angiogenic integrins by hypoxia and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinal microvascular endothelial cells in culture. METHODS Cultured bovine retinal capil...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta 1 modulates basic fibroblast growth factor-induced proteolytic and angiogenic properties of endothelial cells in vitro
Tightly controlled proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix by invading microvascular endothelial cells is believed to be a necessary component of the angiogenic process. We have previously demonstrated the induction of plasminogen activators (PAs) in bovine microvascular endothelial (BME) cells by three agents that induce angiogenesis in vitro: basic FGF (bFGF), PMA, and sodium orth...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor modulates proliferation and collagen expression in urinary bladder smooth muscle cells.
Bladder hypertrophy is a general consequence of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and a typical phenomenon observed in clinical urologic diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and neurogenic bladder. It is characterized by smooth muscle hyperplasia, altered extracellular matrix composition, and increased contractile function. Various growth factors are likely involved in hypertrophic path...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor expression in esophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett esophagus.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to investigate the role of the angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor in the development and progression of Barrett esophagus and adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. METHODS Vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor messenger RNA expression levels, rela...
متن کاملExpression of the urokinase receptor in vascular endothelial cells is stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor
Basic fibroblast growth factor, a potent angiogenesis inducer, stimulates urokinase (uPA) production by vascular endothelial cells. In both basic fibroblast growth factor-stimulated and -nonstimulated bovine capillary endothelial and human umbilical vein endothelial cells single-chain uPA binding is mediated by a membrane protein with a Mr of 42,000. Exposure of bovine capillary or endothelial ...
