Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is reported that formation of blood vessels was abnormal, but not abolished, in heterozygous VEGF-deficient (VEGF+/-) embryos, generated by aggregation of embryonic stem (ES) cells with tetraploid embryos (T-ES)16,17, and even more impaired in homozygous D1-VEGF- deficient (VDGF-/-) T-ES embryos, resulting in death at mid-gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of HIF-1alpha in hypoxia-mediated apoptosis, cell proliferation and tumour angiogenesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that hypoxia and hypoglycaemia reduce proliferation and increase apoptosis in wild-type (Hif-1α+/+) embryonic stem (ES) cells, but not in ES cells with inactivated HIF-1 α genes (HIF- 1α−/−), suggesting that there are at least two different adaptive responses to being deprived of oxygen and nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergism between vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor contributes to angiogenesis and plasma extravasation in pathological conditions

TL;DR: It is reported that embryonic angiogenesis in mice was not affected by deficiency of PlGF, andTransplantation of wild-type bone marrow rescued the impairedAngiogenesis and collateral growth in Pgf−/− mice, indicating that PlGF might have contributed to vessel growth in the adult by mobilizing bone-marrow–derived cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted deficiency or cytosolic truncation of the VE-cadherin gene in mice impairs VEGF-mediated endothelial survival and angiogenesis.

TL;DR: Targeted inactivation or truncation of the beta-catenin-binding cytosolic domain of the VE-cadherin gene was found to affect assembly of endothelial cells in vascular plexi, but to impair their subsequent remodeling and maturation, causing lethality at 9.5 days of gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and expression of human tissue-type plasminogen activator cDNA in E. coli
Diane Pennica,William E. Holmes,William J. Kohr,Richard N. Harkins,Gordon A. Vehar,Carole A. Ward,William F. Bennett,Elizabeth Mcleod Yelverton,Peter H. Seeburg,Herbert L. Heyneker,David V. Goeddel,Desire Collen +11 more
TL;DR: Bacterial clones containing human tissue-type plasminogen activator cDNA sequences were identified in a cDNA library prepared using gel-fractionated mRNA from human melanoma cells and a polypeptide was produced having the fibrinolytic properties characteristic of authentic human t-PA.
