16104843VEGFVEGF10.4Gene expression of VEGF is regulated by a variety of stimuli such as hypoxia

16104843vascular permeability factorvascular permeability factor1.0vegf a also referred to as vpf vascular permeability factor an important regulator of endothelial cell physiology was identified approx. 15 years ago [ 1 2 ] and has been recognized as the major growth factor that is relatively specific for endothelial cells. 
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a is a dimeric glycoprotein essential for many angiogenic processes in normal and abnormal states such as tumour vascularization mainly by interacting with two tyrosine kinase receptors vegfr 1 [also k 
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a exhibits two major biological activities: one is the capacity to stimulate vascular endothelial cell proliferation [ 1 6 7 ] and the other is the ability to increase vascular permeability [ 2 8 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a also promotes the survival and migration of endothelial cells.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0currently the vegf family includes vegf a plgf placenta growth factor vegf b vegf c vegf d vegf e and svvegf snake venom vegf .  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0the human vegf a gene is organized into eight exons separated by seven introns [ 10 11 ] and is located at 6p21.3 [ 12 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0human vegf a has at least nine subtypes due to the alternative splicing of a single gene: vegf 121 vegf 145 vegf 148 vegf 162 vegf 165 vegf 165 b vegf 183 vegf 189 and vegf 206 [ 13 14 ] figure 1 .  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0consequently hif 1 a protein accumulates under normoxic conditions and the transcription of vegf a is increased [ 29 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0the crystal structure of human plgf 1 has shown that this protein is structurally similar to vegf a [ 40 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0furthermore despite this moderate sequence conservation plgf and vegf a bind to the same binding interface of vegfr 1 in a very similar fashion [ 41 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0however recent studies have reported that unlike in vegf a n glycosylation in plgf plays an important role in vegfr 1 binding [ 42 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0both vegf c and vegf d bind and activate vegfr 3 flt 4; a member of the vegfr family that does not bind vegf a as well as vegfr 2 and are mitogenic for cultured endothelial cells.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0homologues of vegf have also been identified in the genome of the parapoxvirus orf virus [ 54 ] and have been shown to have vegf a like activities.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0takahashi et al. [ 61 ] have shown that snakes utilize these venom specific vegfs in addition to vegf a. svvegfs function as dimers and each chain comprises approx. 110 122 amino acid residues.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegfr 1 is a 180 kda high affinity receptor for vegf a vegf b plgf and tf svvegf.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0the second ig domain of vegfr 1 is the major binding site for vegf a and plgf [ 16 41 67 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegfr 1 binds vegf a with at least 10 fold higher affinity than vegfr 2 k d =10 30 pm [ 16 ]; however ligand binding results in a maximal 2 fold increase in kinase activity.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegfr 1 blocking antibodies prevent the migration but not proliferation of huvecs human umbilical vein endothelial cells in response to vegf a indicating the involvement of vegfr 1 in endothelial cell migration [ 68 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0iced form of vegfr 1 that encodes a soluble truncated form of the receptor containing only the first six ig domains has been cloned from a huvec cdna library [ 16 ]. svegfr 1 soluble vegfr 1 inhibits vegf a activity by sequestering vegf a from signalling receptors and by forming non signalling heterodimers with vegfr 2 [ 69 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0 activity by sequestering vegf a from signalling receptors and by forming non signalling heterodimers with vegfr 2 [ 69 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegfr 2 is a 200 230 kda high affinity receptor for vegf a k d =75 760 pm vegf e and svvegfs as well as the processed form of vegf c and vegf d.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0the binding site for vegf a has been mapped to the second and third ig domains [ 74 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0tyrosine phosphorylation sites in human vegfr 2 bound to vegf a are tyr and tyr in the kinase insert domain tyr and tyr in the kinase domain and tyr and tyr in the c terminal tail.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0among them tyr and tyr are the two major vegf a dependent autophosphorylation sites [ 76 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegfr 2 is the major mediator of the mitogenic angiogenic and permeability enhancing effects of vegf a.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0byzova et al. [ 84 ] have reported that the activation of vegfr 2 by vegf a results in the pi3k/akt dependent activation of several integrins leading to enhanced cell adhesion and migration.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0nrp 1 is a 130 140 kda cell surface glycoprotein first identified as a semaphorin receptor involved in neuronal guidance [ 90 ] and subsequently found as an isoform specific receptor for vegf a [ 20 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0in addition a 2 to 3 fold overexpression of vegf a from its endogenous locus results in severe abnormalities in heart development and lethality at embryonic days 12.5 and 14 [ 100 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0these results demonstrate the importance of tightly regulating vegf a expression during embryonic development.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0takahashi et al. [ 76 ] have shown that tyr and tyr are two major vegf a dependent autophosphorylation sites in vegfr 2.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0sphorylation of tyr appears to be required to trigger the sequential activation of cdc42 and p38 mapk and to drive p38 mapk mediated actin remodelling in stress fibres in endothelial cells exposed to vegf a [ 106 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0the activation of the pi3k/p70 s6k s6 kinase pathway by vegfr 2 is also involved in vegf a induced endothelial cell proliferation [ 107 ] figure 2 .  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a is known to increase the vascular permeability of microvessels to circulating macromolecules [ 14 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a significantly accumulates in malignant ascites [ 116 ] and pleural effusion [ 117 ] suggesting that it plays a fundamental role in the accumulation of malignant fluid through the enhancement of vascu

16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a increases vascular permeability in mesenteric microvessels by activation of vegfr 2 on endothelial cells and subsequent activation of plc.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a can induce production of no and endogenous no can increase vascular permeability [ 121 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0numerous studies have established vegf a as a key angiogenic player in cancer.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a is expressed in most tumours and its expression correlates with tumour progression.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0in addition to tumour cells tumour associated stroma is also an important source of vegf a [ 127 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0the expression of vegf a mrna is highest in hypoxic tumour cells adjacent to necrotic areas [ 16 ] indicating that the induction of vegf a by hypoxia in growing tumours can change the balance of inhibitors and activators of angiogenesis leading to the growth of new blood vessels into tumour.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a and vegfrs are constitutively expressed in the islet vasculature before and after the initiation of angiogenesis angiogenic switch [ 133 ]; however when vegf a is absent from islet b cells of rip1 tag2 mice both angiogenic switching and carcinogenesis as well as tumour growth are severely disrupted [ 134 ] indicating that vegf a plays a critical role in ang 
16104843vegf avegf a1.0 is absent from islet b cells of rip1 tag2 mice both angiogenic switching and carcinogenesis as well as tumour growth are severely disrupted [ 134 ] indicating that vegf a plays a critical role in angiogenic switching and carcinogenesis.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0bergers et al. [ 135 ] have revealed that mmp matrix metalloproteinase 9 is also a component of the angiogenic switch as this proteinase makes vegf a available for the interaction with its receptors by releasing sequestered vegf a.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0 available for the interaction with its receptors by releasing sequestered vegf a.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a impairs the endothelial barrier by disrupting a ve cadherin/ b catenin complex via the activation of src and facilitates tumour cell extravasation and metastasis [ 136 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a also induces the disruption of hepatocellular tight junctions which may promote tumour invasion [ 137 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0transgenic mice that overexpress vegf a specifically in the epidermis exhibit an increased density of tortuous cutaneous blood capillaries as well as highly increased leucocyte rolling and adhesion in postcapillary skin venules suggesting  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0is exhibit an increased density of tortuous cutaneous blood capillaries as well as highly increased leucocyte rolling and adhesion in postcapillary skin venules suggesting that enhanced expression of vegf a in epidermal keratinocytes is sufficient to develop psoriasis like inflammatory skin lesions [ 143 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0moreover heterozygous vegf a transgenic mice which do not spontaneously develop inflammatory skin lesions are unable to down regulate experimentally induced inflammation and exhibit a psoriasis like phenotype characterized by ep 
16104843vegf avegf a1.0local production of vegf a in arthritic synovial tissue has been documented [ 16 ] and appears to correlate with disease activity in humans.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0subsequently vegf a has been shown to be important in the pathogenesis of ra rheumatoid arthritis in animal models [ 146 148 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0exaggerated levels of vegf a have been detected in tissues and biological samples from people with asthma where these levels correlate directly with disease [ 149 ] and inversely with airway function [ 150 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0a recent study using lung targeted vegf 165 transgenic mice has revealed a novel function of vegf a in allergic responses.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0in these mice vegf a induces asthma like inflammation airway and vascular remodelling and airway hyper responsiveness.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a also enhances respiratory sensitization to antigen as well as t h 2 t helper type 2 cell mediated inflammation and increases the number of activated dendritic cells [ 151 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0thus vegf a has a critical role in pulmonary t h 2 inflammation.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0other studies have provided evidence for a role for vegf a as a pro inflammatory mediator in allograft rejection [ 152 ] and neointimal formation [ 153 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a mrna expression not normally found in the adult mouse brain is up regulated after cerebral ischaemia and elevated vegf a levels can be detected as early as 3 h after stroke with a peak between 12 and 48 h [ 154 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0previous studies have demonstrated that the antagonism of vegf a results in reduced oedema and tissue damage after ischaemia implicating vegf a in the pathophysiology of stroke [ 155 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0paul et al. [ 156 ] have reported that src mice are resistant to vegf a induced vascular permeability and show decreased infarct volumes after stroke.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0systemic application of a src inhibitor suppresses vascular permeability protecting wild type mice from ischaemia induced brain damage without influencing vegf a expression.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0however sun et al. [ 157 ] have reported that intracerebroventricular administration of vegf a reduces infarct size improves neurological performance and enhances the delayed survival of newborn neurons.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0these conflicting results appear to reflect dual roles of vegf a in stroke: neuroprotective and pro inflammatory effects.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0in this context when infused through the internal carotid artery low and intermediate doses of vegf a significantly promote neuroprotection of the ischaemic brain whereas a high dose of vegf a offers no neuroprotection to the ischaemic brain or the damaged neurons of normal brain [ 158 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0further studies are required for the therapeutic application of vegf a against stroke.  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0a subsequent study has revealed that vegf a is a modifier associated with motor neuron degeneration in human als and in a mouse model of als [ 162 ].  
16104843vegf avegf a1.0vegf a treatment increases the life expectancy of als mice without causing toxic side effects [ 163 164 ] indicating that vegf a has neuroprotective effects on motor neurons and treatment with vegf a could be one of the most effective therapies for als reported so far.
