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
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VECF) is a 45kDa secreted peptide that has potent mitogenic activity specific for endothelial cells in vitro and the ability to induce a strong angiogenic response in vivo. In the present study, 24 h treatment with VEGF resulted in a stimulation of expression of t
