Role of αvβ3 integrin in the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐2

TL;DR: A new role for αvβ3 integrin is indicated in the activation of an in vitro angiogenic program in endothelial cells by participating in the full activation of VEGFR‐2 triggered by VEGF‐A, which is an importantAngiogenic inducer in tumors, inflammation and tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The angiogenesis induced by HIV-1 tat protein is mediated by the Flk-1/KDR receptor on vascular endothelial cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HIV–1 Tat specifically binds and activates the Flk–1/kinase insert domain receptor (Flk-1/KDR), a VEGF–A tyrosine kinase receptor, and that Tat–induced angiogenesis is blocked by agents blocking the FlK–1-KDR receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Airway PI3K Pathway Activation Is an Early and Reversible Event in Lung Cancer Development

TL;DR: D deregulation of the PI3K pathway in the bronchial airway epithelium of smokers is an early, measurable, and reversible event in the development of lung cancer and that genomic profiling of these relatively accessible airway cells may enable personalized approaches to chemoprevention and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The non-classical export routes: FGF1 and IL-1α point the way

TL;DR: Non-classical protein release independent of the ER-Golgi pathway has been reported for an increasing number of proteins lacking an N-terminal signal sequence, and inhibition of their export by Cu2+ chelators is an effective strategy for treatment of several diseases.
