In Fibroblasts Vegf-D Expression Is Induced by Cell-Cell Contact Mediated by Cadherin-11
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a highly conserved family of growth factors all angiogenic in vivo with mitogenic and chemotactic activity on endothelial cells. VEGFs are expressed in fibroblasts either in hypoxia or in response to growth factors. Here we report that, differently from the other members of the family, Vegf-D is induced by cell-cell contact. By in situ hybridization we demonstrated...
