Background and Methods. VEGF proteins and their receptors are involved in tumor vessel
neoformation. The third VEGF receptor, VEGFR3 (flt‐4) is important during both blood vessel …

Methods After isolation of RNA from thirty tumor cell lines and four endothelial cells, gene
expressions of VEGF and its receptors were measured by semi-quantitative reverse …

Objective To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) in
human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its significance. Methods The …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are
believed to participate in infiltration of tumors. High mortality of esophageal squamous cell …

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the expression of vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), and …

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family has a key role in the formation of blood
vessels and lymphatics. Among the members of this family, VEGF-C is one of the most …

In conclusion, our results suggest that high levels of both VEGF-C and VEGF-D proteins are
associated with lymph node involvement, and that VEGF-C expression is an independent …

Objective To study the gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C)
and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) in laryngeal squamous …

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is controlled by a balance between
positive and negative endothelial regulatory factors. Soluble vascular endothelial growth …

Blocking angiogenesis by inhibiting VEGF represents an established therapeutic strategy in
many cancers. The role of placental growth factor (PlGF) and of its receptor VEGFR-1 in …
