  • Mediators known to activate ECs include inflammatory cytokines, growth factors such as VEGF/VPF and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen and fibronectin, and proteases such as MMPs [ 1 2 ] . In vitro and in vivo assays indicate that VEGF signaling promotes increased permeability, cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, functioning through two EC-specific tyrosine kinase receptor such as Kinase domain receptor (KDR) [ 1 2 3 ] . In the majority of solid tumors, VEGF is upregulated in response to hypoxia, inducing the expression of pro-angiogenic genes that promote tumor angiogenesis, growth and eventual metastasis [ 3 4 5 ] . The expression of both positive and negative factors must be tightly and specifically regulated in a coordinated manner.

  • Identification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular permeability factor (VPF)-responsive genes could potentially help elucidate the detail molecular mechanisms of endothelial cells (EC) activation.
