Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept

The role of nutrient supply in the replicative capacity and secretory phenotype of cultured human diploid cells is unclear. We examined the relationship between amino acid privation, the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and growth phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC
Tumor expansion is dependent on angiogenesis, which is regulated by peptide growth factors of which vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most selective and potent. VEGF expression is regulated by steroid hormones in a number of systems, including T47-D human breast cancer cells in
In various cell types, the neuro-and endocrine peptide somatostatin induces inhibitory and anti-secretory effects. Since somatostatin receptors, especially of the subtype sst2A, are constantly over-expressed in gliomas, we investigated the influence of somatostatin and the receptor subtype-selective
