VEGF165b, an endogenous C-terminal splice variant of VEGF, inhibits retinal neovascularization in mice.
PURPOSE Hypoxia driven ocular angiogenesis occurs in a range of ischemic retinopathies including proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. These conditions are initiated and sustained by hypoxia dependent vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in the eye. There are two families of VEGF isoforms formed by differential splicing, the pro-angiogenic VEGF famil...
متن کاملPositive association between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -2578 C/A variant and prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is an important angiogenesis regulator related to cancer development and progression. We evaluated the association between -2578 C/A (rs699947) VEGF polymorphism and PCa in Mexican subjects, to contribute to knowledge of VEGF role in genetic epidemiology of prostate cancer (PCa). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the asso...
متن کاملFunctional Properties of a Newly Identified C-terminal Splice Variant of Cav1.3 L-type Ca2+ Channels*
An intramolecular interaction between a distal (DCRD) and a proximal regulatory domain (PCRD) within the C terminus of long Ca(v)1.3 L-type Ca(2+) channels (Ca(v)1.3(L)) is a major determinant of their voltage- and Ca(2+)-dependent gating kinetics. Removal of these regulatory domains by alternative splicing generates Ca(v)1.3(42A) channels that activate at a more negative voltage range and exhi...
متن کاملIdentification of a fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 splice variant that inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth.
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) play important roles in many biological processes. Nothing is presently known about possible roles of the human FGFR1-IIIb mRNA splice variant. In this study, we characterized for the first time the effects of FGFR1-IIIb expression on the transformed phenotype of human pancreatic cancer cells. The full-length FGFR1-IIIb cDNA was generated and stably exp...
متن کاملGonadotropin-regulated lymphangiogenesis in ovarian cancer is mediated by LEDGF-induced expression of VEGF-C.
The risk and severity of ovarian carcinoma, the leading cause of gynecologic malignancy death, are significantly elevated in postmenopausal women. Ovarian failure at menopause, associated with a reduction in estrogen secretion, results in an increase of the gonadotropic luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), suggesting a role for these hormones in facilitating the prog...
