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
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
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide synthesized and secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Regulation of ET-1 production occurs at the level of gene transcription. We previously demonstrated a role for arachidonic acid as an intracellular mediator in the regulation of gene expre
## Abstract Exposure of endothelial cells (EC) to shear stress reduces their response to tumour necrosis factorβΞ± (TNF). We tested how shearβconditioned EC responded to reduction in flow, either by spontaneously binding leukocytes, or by increasing sensitivity to TNF. Human umbilical vein EC were e
