Determination of Vascular Endothelial- and Fibroblast-Growth Factor Receptors in a Mouse Fibrosarcoma Tumor Model Following Photodynamic Therapy
The role of angiogenic molecules, like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in tumor angiogenesis was well confirmed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) action is, to very high degree, based on tumor vasculature damage. Therefore, it seemed to be important to evaluate growth factor receptors after PDT. The extent of receptor expression was studied by immuno-histo...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor gene expression in fibroblast growth factor-treated rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
The acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) proteins are potent vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) mitogens that are expressed by endothelial cells and SMCs in vivo. Overexpression of these proteins in transfected cell lines can result in autocrine transformation; therefore, the precise control of fibroblast growth factor gene expression in the vessel wal...
متن کاملHuman T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-transformed cells induce angiogenesis and establish functional gap junctions with endothelial cells.
The role of angiogenesis in the growth and metastasis of solid tumors is well established. However, the role of angiogenesis in hematologic malignancies was only recently appreciated. We show that HTLV-I-transformed T cells, but not HTLV-I-negative CD4(+) T cells, secrete biologically active forms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and, accord...
متن کاملRat Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cells
The dominant mechanism responsible for restenosis after angioplasty is believed to be the activation of medial smooth muscle cells (SMCs), leading to their proliferation, migration to the subintima, and further proliferation. To develop novel strategies that might inhibit or prevent restenosis, we previously used a chimeric toxin composed of transforming growth factor-at (which targets the epid...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor fms-like-tyrosine kinase is mediated by nitric oxide in rat renal mesangial cells.
Under conditions associated with local and systemic inflammation, mesangial cells and invading immune cells are likely to be responsible for the release of large amounts of nitric oxide (NO) in the glomerulus. To further define the mechanisms of NO action in the glomerulus, we attempted to identify genes which are regulated by NO in rat glomerular mesangial cells. We identified vascular endothe...
