چکیده

vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. vegf is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kda produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly t lymphocytes and macrophages. six vegf isoforms are generated as a result of alternative splicing from a single vegf gene, consisting of 121, 145, 165, 183, 189, or 206 amino acids. vegf121, vegf145, and vegf165 are secreted whereas vegf183, vegf189, and vegf206 are cell membrane-bound. vegf145 has a key role during the vascularization of the human ovarian follicle and corpus luteum, in the placentation and embryonic periods, and in bone and wound healing, while vegf165 is the most abundant and biologically active isoform. vegf has been linked with a number of vascular pathologies including cardiovascular diseases such ischemic heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and diabetes and its related complications. in this review we aimed to present some important roles of vegf in a number of clinical issues and indicate its involvement in several phenomena from the initial steps of the embryonic period to cardiovascular diseases.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate to Endothelial Cells Using Recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor –A

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an endothelial cell-specific mitogen produced by various cell types, plays important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation. In this study we investigated the effect of recombinant VEGF-A on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). Methods: VEGF-A was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostate pathology.

PURPOSE Previous studies suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) circulating levels might improve identification of patients with prostate cancer but results are conflicting. Our aim was to compare serum VEGF levels across different prostate pathologies (including benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, high grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia and prostate cancer) in pati...

A Novel Nonangiogenic Cardiovascular Role for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

There is widespread interest in the use of the angiogenic cytokine, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The main paradigm for VEGF cardiovascular therapy is the stimulation of “therapeutic angiogenesis” in ischemic myocardial and peripheral vascular limb disease. In this review, approaches to VEGF therapy based on the therapeutic angiogenesis ...

Evaluation of Periodontal Disease Effect on the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor in Dental Pulp

Introduction: Researchers have always been interested in the close and mutual relationship between the pulp and periodontal tissues. Although the effects of pulpal disease on periodontium have been well known, the clear relationship between periodontitis and pulp has not been documented . It seems that bacteria and inflammatory products of periodontitis can affect pulp through accessory canals,...
