## Abstract The Wilms' tumor 1 gene, __WT1__, encodes a zincβfinger protein that is implicated in the development of Wilms' tumor. Mutant or aberrantly expressed WT1 isoforms have also been described in desmoplastic small round cell tumor, acute leukemias, mesothelioma, breast tumors and melanoma.

The expression of the Wilms tumor suppressor gene WT1 is largely restricted to elements of the developing urogenital system. In the fetal kidney, WT1 transcripts are present at low levels in the condensing mesenchyme and at much higher levels in differentiating glomerular epithelium and are not dete
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF) is a multifunctional cytokine which potently stimulates angiogenesis in vivo. VEGF/VPF expression is elevated in pathological conditions including cancer, proliferative retinopathy, psoriasis and rheumatoid a
## BACKGROUND. Rapid tumor growth is caused by angiogenesis factors, growth factors, etc. We previously reported a possible connection between nitric oxide (NO) and enhanced vascular permeability in solid tumor. In the present experiment, the role of NO in solid tumor pathology was further investi
