VEGFR1–mediated pericyte ablation links VEGF and PlGF to cancer-associated retinopathy
22 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
VEGF coordinates complex regulation of cellular regeneration and interactions between endothelial and perivascular cells; dysfunction of the VEGF signaling system leads to retinopathy. Here, we show that systemic delivery of VEGF and placental growth factor (PlGF) by protein implantation, tumors, and adenoviral vectors ablates pericytes from the mature retinal vasculature through the VEGF receptor 1...
