Abstract

To investigate the in vivo angiogenic activity of placenta growth factor (PIGF) and its heterodimers with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the induction of neovascularization of these factors in the mouse cornea was studied. VEGF165 is sufficiently potent to stimulate new capillary growth from the limbal vessels. PIGF129/VEGF165 heterodimers also induce corneal neovascularization with a maximal vessel length similar to VEGF165, but with a marked decrease of vessel density. In contrast, PIGF129 has little or no effect in this in vivo angiogenesis assay. The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein is drastically up-regulated by hypoxia in choriocarcinoma cells, whereas expression of PIGF is not affected by the low concentration of oxygen. Up-regulation of VEGF production results in increased formation of PIGF/VEGF heterodimers in these tumor cells. Thus, hypoxia indirectly up-regulates expression levels of PIGF/VEGF heterodimers and modulates VEGF activity when these factors are co-expressed.

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.
