Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors in embryonic zebrafish blood vessel development.

There is intense interest in how blood vessel development is regulated. A number of vascular growth factors and their receptors have been described. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors are major contributors to normal mammalian vascular development. These receptors include VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, neuropilin-1 (NRP1), and NRP2. The function of these genes have been...

mRNA Expression of VEGF and Its Receptors in Fallopian Tubes of Women with Ectopic Pregnancies

Background Establishment of viable pregnancy requires embryo implantation and placentation. Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a pregnancy complication which occurs when an embryo implants outside of the uterine cavity, most often in a fallopian tube. On the other hand, an important aspect of successful implantation is angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor...

P-171: Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors In Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis is a disease which is defined by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Literatures show that VEGF by interaction with their receptors, Flt-1 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 or VEGFR-1) and Flk-1/KDR (fetal liver kinase/ kinase-insert domain receptor or VEGFR-2) is related to pathogenesis of endometriosis. The purpose of this study was to eval...

Rapid analysis of angiogenesis drugs in a live fluorescent zebrafish assay.

Live Fluorescent Zebrafish Assay To the Editor: Solid tumors require an adequate supply of blood vessels to survive, grow, and metastasize.1–3 New blood vessels that nourish growing tumors form by angiogenesis. Drugs shown to have antiangiogenic activity are currently in clinical cancer trials.4 To date, anti-angiogenic drugs have had mixed success in clinical application. Many new compounds ma...

P-189: Investigation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors Expression in Ectopic Pregnancy

Background: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a complication of conception in which the embryo implants outside of uterine cavity. The increasing incidence of serious maternal morbidity resulting from EP has prompted the search for biomarkers to aid in early diagnosis and take advantage of conservative treatments. One of the effective biomarkers in EP is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF ...
