Specific reverse transcription-PCR quantification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) splice variants by LightCycler technology.

BACKGROUND Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is associated with increased angiogenesis, growth and invasion in solid tumors, and hematologic malignancies. The expression of isoforms of VEGF, which mediate different effects, can be discriminated by splice-variant-specific quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), but current methods have only modest sensitivity a...

Comparing whole-genome amplification methods and sources of biological samples for single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping.

quantification of the expression of 6 VEGF variants , can be a promising tool for the elucidation of their role in promoting physiologic and pathologic angiogene-sis. Our method can be applied to various samples for the separate quantification of a single VEGF splice variant of interest or of all 6 variants together and could serve as a model for the development of real-time RT-PCR assays for t...

Quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR study of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) splice variants and VEGF receptors (VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2) in non small cell lung cancer.

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major regulator of angiogenesis and its expression is increased in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to determine the expression pattern of VEGF splice variants in NSCLC and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of tumors. METHODS We used real-time reverse transcription PCR to quantify the mRNA express...

Real-time RT-PCR quantification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase splice variants in tumor cell lines and non-small cell lung cancer.

BACKGROUND We developed and validated a real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR for the quantification of 4 individual human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) splice variants (alpha+beta+, alpha-beta+, alpha+beta-, alpha-beta-) in tumor cell lines and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We used in silico designed primers and a common TaqMan probe for highly specific amplificati...

Molecular Study of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene in Iranian Patients after Myocardial Infarction

Background: Stimulation of collateral artery growth (arteriogenesis) and/or capillary network growth (angiogenesis) would be beneficial to the patients with myocardial infarction. To understand the central role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in biological angiogenesis, we performed molecular analysis of the VEGF gene in patients afflicted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Me...
