CXCL7-Mediated Stimulation of Lymphangiogenic Factors VEGF-C, VEGF-D in Human Breast Cancer Cells
Increased expression of lymphangiogenesis factors VEGF-C/D and heparanase has been correlated with the invasion of cancer. Furthermore, chemokines may modify matrix to facilitate metastasis, and they are associated with VEGF-C and heparanase. The chemokine CXCL7 binds heparin and the G-protein-linked receptor CXCR2. We investigated the effect of CXCR2 blockade on the expression of VEGF-C/D, hep...
متن کاملAssociations of nm23H1, VEGF-C, and VEGF-3 receptor in human prostate cancer.
We studied the expression of the non-metastatic clone 23 type 1 (nm23H1) gene, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C, and its receptor VEGFR-3 using an in situ hybridization technique and immunohistochemical analyses with prostate cancer tissues and adjacent benign tissues of 52 human archival cases. The association between VEGF-C expression, microlymphatic count (MLC), and staining inten...
متن کاملVEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D in colorectal cancer progression.
We aimed to assess the relationship of the angiogenic cytokines VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D and their receptors VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence and in metastatic spread of colorectal cancer (CRC). mRNA expression levels were measured using semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in 70 CRC (35 with paired mucosae) and 20 adenomatous polyps. Immunohi...
متن کاملDifferential stimulation of VEGF-C production by adhesion/growth-regulatory galectins and plant lectins in human breast cancer cells.
UNLABELLED The present study tested the hypothesis that the production of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C), a key lymphangiogenic factor, by human breast cancer cells can be stimulated by human lectins, using plant lectins as controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of human galectins and five plant lectins reacting with distinct determinants of N- and O-glycans on the accumul...
متن کاملSerum levels of VEGF and VEGF-C in patients with endometrial cancer.
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common type of uterine cancer. A dualistic model of endometrial tumorigenesis serves as a useful way of categorizing these cancers in terms of both etiology and clinical behavior. There are two types of EC: type I and type II. Type I is so-called estrogen-dependent, and appears mostly in pre- and perimenopausal women, it is well differentiated and therefore h...
