2 unusual facts about Vascular endothelial growth factor


Ciglitazone

Ciglitazone significantly decreases VEGF production by human granulosa cells in an in vitro study, and may potentially be used in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Vascular endothelial growth factor

The latter two (axitinib and pazopanib) are in clinical trials, the results of which were presented (June 7) at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting.


Hemangioblastoma

HIF-1α causes the production of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet derived growth factor B, erythropoietin and transforming growth factor alpha, which act to stimulate growth of cells within the tumour.

WHEP-TRS protein domain

EPRS is a component of the interferon-gamma-activated inhibitor of translation (GAIT) complex, which interacts with stem-loop elements (GAIT elements) in mRNAs encoding proinflammatory proteins, for example, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA).
