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 cytokines that regulate angiogenesis in normal and malignant prostate tissue are not well studied. Using an RT-PCR-based screen, we observed that cultured, lowpassage normal human prostate epithelial cells (PrECs) express a variety of cytokines which have been shown to have angiogenic and/or end
