Transforming growth factor-beta stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor production by folliculostellate pituitary cells.
TGF-beta isoforms are expressed in the anterior pituitary and modulate the growth and function of endocrine pituitary cells. Recently, TGF-beta has been shown to stimulate growth and basic fibroblast growth factor secretion in nonendocrine folliculostellate (FS) pituitary cells. We therefore studied whether the production of FS cell-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the most im...
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 کاملTransforming Growth Factor 1 Stimulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Transcription in Human Cholangiocellular Carcinoma Cells
The expression pattern and functional interaction of proangiogenic factors in human cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) have not been fully defined. We therefore investigated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)1 as well as their respective receptors in human CCC tumor samples and further analyzed their functional interaction in vitro. E...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate to Endothelial Cells Using Recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor –A
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an endothelial cell-specific mitogen produced by various cell types, plays important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation. In this study we investigated the effect of recombinant VEGF-A on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). Methods: VEGF-A was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21...
