Expression and localization of placenta growth factor and PlGF receptors in human meningiomas
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
It has previously been suggested that in human brain tumours, endothelial cell proliferation during angiogenesis is regulated by a paracrine mechanism involving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors (VEGF receptor 1 and VEGF receptor 2). The mechanism of growth factor up-regulation is based on hypoxic activation of mRNA expression and mRNA stabilization and genetic events, leading to an...
