Bone formation during distraction osteogenesis is dependent on both VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 signaling.
INTRODUCTION Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is characterized by the induction of highly vascularized new bone formation through an intramembranous process largely devoid of the formation of cartilage. MATERIALS AND METHODS To test the hypothesis that DO is strictly dependent on vascualrization, we inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity by antibody blockade of both recepto...
متن کاملAutocrine VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 signaling promotes survival in human glioblastoma models in vitro and in vivo
BACKGROUND Although the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor (VEGFR) system has become a prime target for antiangiogenic treatment, its biological role in glioblastoma beyond angiogenesis has remained controversial. METHODS Using neutralizing antibodies to VEGF or placental growth factor (PlGF) or the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, cediranib, or lentiviral gene silencing, we de...
متن کاملCOSMC Is Overexpressed in Proliferating Infantile Hemangioma and Enhances Endothelial Cell Growth via VEGFR2
Infantile hemangiomas are localized lesions comprised primarily of aberrant endothelial cells. COSMC plays a crucial role in blood vessel formation and is characterized as a molecular chaperone of T-synthase which catalyzes the synthesis of T antigen (Galβ1,3GalNAc). T antigen expression is associated with tumor malignancy in many cancers. However, roles of COSMC in infantile hemangioma are sti...
متن کاملVEGFR1 and VEGFR2 immunohistochemical expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a morphometric study.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is considered one of the main molecules involved in tumor angiogenesis and is largely expressed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). His signal is transmitted intracellulary by binding with class III tyrosine kinase receptors, known as VEGF receptor family (VEGFRs). Therefore, we designed this study for quantification of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 immunohisto...
متن کاملExpression of Cathepsins B, D, and G in Infantile Hemangioma
AIMS The role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the biology of infantile hemangioma (IH) represents an emerging paradigm, particularly the involvement of renin, angiotensin converting enzyme, and angiotensin II. This study investigated the expression of cathepsins B, D, and G, enzymes that may modulate the RAS, in IH. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of cathepsins B, D, and G was e...
