Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transcription by estrogen receptors α and β
19 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mediates angiogenic activity in a variety of estrogen target tissues. To determine whether estrogen has a direct transcriptional effect on VEGF gene expression, we developed a model system by transiently transfecting human VEGF promoter-luciferase reporter constructs into primary human endometrial cells and into Ishikawa cells, derived from a well-differentiated human...
