Bovine papular stomatitis virus encodes a functionally distinct VEGF that binds both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2.
Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV), a member of the genus Parapoxvirus, causes proliferative dermatitis in cattle and humans. Other species of the genus cause similar lesions, the nature of which has been attributed, at least in part, to a viral-encoded vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that induces vascularization and dermal oedema through VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). The results of ...
متن کاملDistinct roles of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 in the aberrant hematopoiesis associated with elevated levels of VEGF.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a major factor in tumor-host interactions, plays a critical role in the aberrant hematopoiesis observed in cancer-bearing hosts. To dissect the roles of VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-1 and VEGFR-2 in cancer-associated hematopoiesis in vivo, we selectively stimulated VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 by continuous infusion of receptor-specific ligands or selective blockade w...
متن کاملSelective imaging of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 receptors using 89Zr-labeled single-chain VEGF mutants
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) acts via two vascular endothelial growth factor receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 that play important and distinct roles in tumor biology. We reasoned that selective imaging of these receptors could provide unique information for diagnostics and for monitoring and optimizing responses to anti-cancer therapy, including antiangiogenic therapy. Herein, we re...
متن کاملConstitutive expression of VEGF, VEGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 in normal eyes.
PURPOSE The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its high-affinity receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 was investigated in normal eyes. METHODS Monkey and rat eyes were surgically removed in animals under deep anesthesia and immediately prepared for study. Ocular VEGF, VEGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 expression was studied using a combination of in situ hybridization, northern blot anal...
متن کاملClinicopathological correlation and prognostic significance of VEGF-A, VEGF-C, VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 expression in colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death. Literature indicates that vascular endothelial growth factor is a predominant angiogenic factor and that angiogenesis plays an important role in the progression of CRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS The present series consisted of tissue samples obtained from 672 patients who ...
