Nayak, Nihar R., Kuo, Calvin J., Desai, Tejal A., Wiegand, Stanley J., Lasley, Bill L., Giudice, Linda C., ...

Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is an important angiogenic factor that has not been thoroughly studied in the primate endometrium. We evaluated the endometrial expression of Ang-1 and its receptor, Tie2,...

Intraretinal Transplantation for Rod-Cell Replacement in Light-Damaged Retinas (1989)

Manuel Del Cerro, Coca Del Cerro, Stanley J. Wiegand, Donald A. Grover, Eliot Lazar

Blindness from retinal disease is often the consequence of extensive damage to the photoreceptor cell population, while other cell types which form the neural retina are relatively spared. In this...

VEGF-Trap: A VEGF blocker with potent antitumor effects

Holash, Jocelyn, Davis, Sam, Papadopoulos, Nick, Croll, Susan D., Ho, Lillian, Russell, Michelle, ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a critical role during normal embryonic angiogenesis and also in the pathological angiogenesis that occurs in a number of diseases, including cancer....

Acute intensive insulin therapy exacerbates diabetic blood-retinal barrier breakdown via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and VEGF

Poulaki, Vassiliki, Qin, Wenying, Joussen, Antonia M., Hurlbut, Peter, Wiegand, Stanley J., Rudge, John, ...

Acute intensive insulin therapy is an independent risk factor for diabetic retinopathy. Here we demonstrate that acute intensive insulin therapy markedly increases VEGF mRNA and protein levels in the...

Recombinant angiopoietin-1 restores higher-order architecture of growing blood vessels in mice in the absence of mural cells

Uemura, Akiyoshi, Ogawa, Minetaro, Hirashima, Masanori, Fujiwara, Takashi, Koyama, Shinji, Takagi, Hitoshi, ...

Interactions between endothelial cells (ECs) and perivascular mural cells (MCs) via signaling molecules or physical contacts are implicated both in vascular remodeling and maintenance of vascular...

VEGF-A stimulates lymphangiogenesis and hemangiogenesis in inflammatory neovascularization via macrophage recruitment

Cursiefen, Claus, Chen, Lu, Borges, Leonardo P., Jackson, David, Cao, Jingtai, Radziejewski, Czeslaw, ...

Lymphangiogenesis, an important initial step in tumor metastasis and transplant sensitization, is mediated by the action of VEGF-C and -D on VEGFR3. In contrast, VEGF-A binds VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 and is...

Genetic deletion of ghrelin does not decrease food intake but influences metabolic fuel preference

Wortley, Katherine E., Anderson, Keith D., Garcia, Karen, Murray, Jane D., Malinova, Lubomira, Liu, Rong, ...

Ghrelin is a recently identified growth hormone (GH) secretogogue whose administration not only induces GH release but also stimulates food intake, increases adiposity, and reduces fat utilization in...

Tlx acts as a proangiogenic switch by regulating extracellular assembly of fibronectin matrices in retinal astrocytes

Uemura, Akiyoshi, Kusuhara, Sentaro, Wiegand, Stanley J., Yu, Ruth T., Nishikawa, Shin-Ichi

In response to hypoxia, hypoxia-inducible factors act as the primary proangiogenic triggers by regulating transcription levels of target genes, including VEGF. However, little is known about the...

Resistance to diet-induced obesity in mice globally overexpressing OGH/GPB5

Macdonald, Lynn E., Wortley, Katherine E., Gowen, Lori C., Anderson, Keith D., Murray, Jane D., Poueymirou, William T., ...

We identified a glycoprotein hormone β-subunit (OGH, also called GPB5) that, as a heterodimer with the α-subunit GPA2, serves as a second ligand for the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor. Mice...

Retinal Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Induces Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression and Initiates Early Diabetic Retinal Leukocyte Adhesion in Vivo

Joussen, Antonia M., Poulaki, Vassiliki, Qin, Wenying, Kirchhof, Bernd, Mitsiades, Nicholas, Wiegand, Stanley J., ...

Leukocyte adhesion to the diabetic retinal vasculature results in early blood-retinal barrier breakdown, capillary nonperfusion, and endothelial cell injury and death. Previous work has shown that...

VEGF Trap complex formation measures production rates of VEGF, providing a biomarker for predicting efficacious angiogenic blockade

Rudge, John S., Holash, Jocelyn, Hylton, Donna, Russell, Michelle, Jiang, Shelly, Leidich, Raymond, ...
