Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of a human placenta cDNA coding for a protein related to the vascular permeability factor.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PlGF, derived from transfected COS-1 cells, is actually N-glycosylated and secreted into the medium and, like VPF, proves to be a dimeric protein.
Journal Article

Two alternative mRNAs coding for the angiogenic factor, placenta growth factor (PlGF), are transcribed from a single gene of chromosome 14.

TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate that the PIGF gene has been conserved in evolution, since the human PlGF cDNA hybridizes to sequences present in the genomic DNA of Drosophila, Xenopus, chicken and mouse.
Journal Article

Placenta growth factor-1 is chemotactic, mitogenic, and angiogenic

TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate that PIGF-1 can induce angiogenesis in vivo and stimulate the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells in vitro.
Journal Article

Upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and downregulation of placenta growth factor (PlGF) associated with malignancy in human thyroid tumors and cell lines.

TL;DR: It is shown that both the V EGF receptors, FLT-1 and flk/KDR, are expressed in endothelial cells that line tumor-embedded microvascular vessels, suggesting that VEGF but not PlGF, contributes to thyroid tumor development.
