Vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor differentially modulate early postnatal coronary angiogenesis.
The roles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF [FGF-2]) in early postnatal regulation of coronary angiogenesis were investigated by administering neutralizing antibodies to these growth factors between postnatal days 5 and 12. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting both revealed decreases in VEGF protein in the hearts of rats treated with eith...
متن کاملInvolvement of interleukin-8, vascular endothelial growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor in tumor necrosis factor alpha-dependent angiogenesis.
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a macrophage/monocyte-derived polypeptide which modulates the expression of various genes in vascular endothelial cells and induces angiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism by which TNF-alpha mediates angiogenesis is not completely understood. In this study, we assessed whether TNF-alpha-induced angiogenesis is mediated through TNF-alpha itself ...
متن کاملEarly coronary angiogenesis in response to thyroxine: growth characteristics and upregulation of basic fibroblast growth factor.
Although a substantial coronary angiogenesis occurs after thyroid hormone treatment, its regulation and relationship to cardiac hypertrophy are not understood. This study was designed to determine (1) the onset of capillary proliferation, (2) the sites of capillary proliferation, and (3) whether basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) upregulation occurs in response to thyroxine administration. M...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor expression positively correlates with angiogenesis and peritumoural brain oedema in astrocytoma.
BACKGROUND Astrocytoma is the most malignant intracranial neoplasm and is characterized by high neovascularization and peritumoural brain oedema. Angiogenesis is a complicated process in oncogenesis regulated by the balance between angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors. METHODS The expression of two angiogenic growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth fact...
متن کاملBasic Fibroblast Growth Factor Melanocytic Cells by Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Modulation of Angiogenesis and Tumorigenicity of Human
Human melanoma cells express two prominent angiogenic factors, e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF/fibroblast growth factor-2). In this study, we report on the relative contribution of these two factors to in vitro and in vivo growth of a tumorigenic melanoma cell line (WM164) and nontumorigenic, immortalized melanocytes (FM516SV). Overexpres...
