Abstract

Neuropilin (NRP) 1, previously identified as a neuronal receptor that mediates repulsive growth cone guidance, has been shown recently to function also in endothelial cells as an isoform-specific receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 165 and as a coreceptor in vitro of VEGF receptor 2. However, its potential role in pathologic angiogenesis remains unknown. In the present study, we first show that VEGF selectively up-regulates NRP1 but not NRP2 via the VEGF receptor 2-dependent pathway. By NRP1 binding analysis, we showed that its induction by VEGF accompanies functional receptor expression. Endothelial proliferation stimulated by VEGF 165 was inhibited significantly by antibody perturbation of NRP1. In a murine model of VEGF-dependent angioproliferative retinopathy, intense NRP1 mRNA expression was observed in the newly formed vessels. Furthermore, selective NRP1 inhibition in this model suppressed neovascular formation substantially. These results suggest that VEGF cannot only activate endothelial cells directly but also can contribute to robust angiogenesis in vivo by a mechanism that involves up-regulation of its cognate receptor expression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
