The role of vascular endothelial growth factors and fibroblast growth factors in angiogenesis during otitis media.
The middle ear response to otitis media includes transformation and hyperplasia of the mucosal epithelium and subepithelial connective tissue. Significant neovascularization is also noted, which occurs both to support the hypertrophied mucosa and to mediate the increased trafficking of leukocytes. We investigated the role of two known potent angiogenic growth factor families, the fibroblast gro...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factors and angiogenesis.
VEGF was discovered in 1989. Research -conducted over the past 10 years has -demonstrated that VEGF is a major regulator of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. This paper reviews the molecular data on the multiple forms of VEGF, their signalling and accessory receptors. Five genes encoding VEGF-like proteins have been identified; the different isoforms of each VEGF molecule are generated by altern...
متن کاملrole of vascular endothelial growth factors in ocular neovascular diseases
the most important progress in the field of retinal diseases during recent years might be the introduction of pharmacotherapy. age-related macular degeneration for instance was an irreversible disease leading to permanent anatomical and functional changes in the macula up to the previous decade; however, the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (anti-vegfs) not only stops the p...
متن کاملRole of hypoxia and vascular endothelial growth factors in lymphangiogenesis
Hypoxia is known to be a major factor in the induction of angiogenesis during tumor development but its role in lymphangiogenesis remains unclear. Blood and lymphatic vasculatures are stimulated by the vascular endothelial family of growth factors - the VEGFs. In this review, we investigate the role of hypoxia in the molecular regulation of synthesis of the lymphangiogenic growth factors VEGF-A...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factors and vascular permeability
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are key regulators of permeability. The principal evidence behind how they increase vascular permeability in vivo and in vitro and the consequences of that increase are addressed here. Detailed analysis of the published literature has shown that in vivo and in vitro VEGF-mediated permeability differs in its time course, but has common involvement of m...
