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 کاملVascular endothelial growth factor C promotes tumor lymphangiogenesis and intralymphatic tumor growth.
Many solid tumors produce vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C), and its receptor, VEGFR-3, is expressed in tumor blood vessels. To study the role of VEGF-C in tumorigenesis, we implanted MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells overexpressing recombinant VEGF-C orthotopically into severe combined immunodeficient mice. VEGF-C increased tumor growth, but unlike VEGF, it had little effect on tu...

متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor-a promotes peritumoral lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis.
Metastases are commonly found in the lymphatic system. The molecular mechanism of lymphatic metastasis is, however, poorly understood. Here we report that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A stimulated lymphangiogenesis in vivo and that overexpression of VEGF-A in murine T241 fibrosarcomas induced the growth of peritumoral lymphatic vessels, which occasionally penetrated into the tumor ...
متن کاملDifferential effects of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor PTK787/ZK222584 on tumor angiogenesis and tumor lymphangiogenesis.
Halting tumor growth by interfering with tumor-induced angiogenesis is an attractive therapeutic approach. Such treatments include humanized antibodies blocking the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A (bevacizumab), soluble VEGF receptor (VEGFR) constructs (VEGF-Trap), or small-molecule inhibitors of VEGFR signaling, including PTK787/ZK222584 (PTK/ZK), sorafenib, and sunitin...
