## Objective. To investigate transforming growth factor β€ (TGFβ€) regulation of CCN3 expression in cells of the nucleus pulposus. Methods. Real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were used to measure CCN3 expression in the nucleus pulposus. Transfections w
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factorβD (VEGFβD) stimulates growth of vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells by signaling through the tyrosine kinase receptors KDR (VEGFRβ2) and Fltβ4 (VEGFRβ3). In the present study, we examined the effects of VEGFβD on apoptosis in human MCFβ7 and MDAβM
