MiR-103 regulates the angiogenesis of ischemic stroke rats by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
Objective(s): To investigate the effect of miR-103 on the angiogenesis of ischemic stroke rats via targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at the molecular level. Materials and Methods: Rat models had received the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or sham operation before grouping, and cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) were performed. FITC-dextran, matrigel, and ...
متن کاملDetermination 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 کاملInhibition of cell proliferation, vascular endothelial growth factor and tumor growth by albendazole.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the key molecule mediating tumor growth and malignant ascites formation. We recently reported that, in an end stage OVCAR-3 xenograft model, albendazole (ABZ) suppresses ascites formation, but not tumor growth. Hence, in the present study, we assessed the effect of ABZ on in vitro OVCAR-3 cell proliferation plus in vivo tumor growth, however, initiat...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملInhibition of tumor angiogenesis by a single-chain antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor.
Monoclonal antibody (Ab) directed against the vascular endothelial growth factor, one of the major inducers of angiogenesis, can inhibit tumor growth in mice. Treatment of cancer patients with monoclonal Ab requires large-scale production of the clean Ab and frequent application of the Ab. This might be improved by using single-chain Ab fragments (scFvs), which can be produced in large quantiti...
