Journal Article
Increased expression of placenta growth factor in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
A. Khaliq,David Foreman,Asif Ahmed,Herbert A. Weich,Zdenek J. Gregor,David McLeod,Michael E. Boulton +6 more
TL;DR: Results strongly implicate a role for PIGF in the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flt1 acts as a negative regulator of tip cell formation and branching morphogenesis in the zebrafish embryo.
Janna Krueger,Dong Liu,Katja Scholz,Anja Zimmer,Yu Shi,Christian Klein,Arndt F. Siekmann,Stefan Schulte-Merker,Melissa J. Cudmore,Asif Ahmed,Ferdinand le Noble +10 more
TL;DR: Flt1 acts in a Notch-dependent manner as a negative regulator of tip cell differentiation and branching in zebrafish, involving interactions with the developing nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Evidence for Endothelial Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 Function in Nitric Oxide–Mediated Angiogenesis
Shakil Ahmad,Peter W. Hewett,Ping Wang,Bahjat Al-Ani,Melissa J. Cudmore,Takeshi Fujisawa,Jody J. Haigh,Ferdinand le Noble,Ling Wang,Debabrata Mukhopadhyay,Asif Ahmed +10 more
TL;DR: The identification Tyr794 of VEGfr-1 as a key residue in this process provides direct evidence of endothelial VEGFR-1 in NO-driven in vitro angiogenesis and highlights new therapeutic targets for management of vascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxia induces dilated cardiomyopathy in the chick embryo: mechanism, intervention, and long-term consequences
Andrei Tintu,Ellen V. Rouwet,Stefan Verlohren,Joep Brinkmann,Shakil Ahmad,Fatima Crispi,Marc van Bilsen,Peter Carmeliet,Anne Cathrine Staff,Marc Tjwa,Irene Cetin,Eduard Gratacós,Edgar Hernandez-Andrade,Leonard Hofstra,Michael J. Jacobs,Wouter H. Lamers,Ingo Morano,Erdal Safak,Asif Ahmed,Ferdinand le Noble +19 more
TL;DR: The data show that hypoxia causes a decreased cardiac performance and cardiomyopathy in chick embryos, involving a significant VEGF-mediated component that persists into adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 sustains angiogenesis and Bcl-2 expression via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in endothelial cells
Jun Cai,Shakil Ahmad,Wen Guo Jiang,Jianhua Huang,Christopher D. Kontos,Michael E. Boulton,Asif Ahmed +6 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that PlGF-containing ligands contribute to pathological angiogenesis by prolonging cell survival signals and maintaining vascular networks.
