1	10643294	VEGF stimulates vascular endothelial cell proliferation by binding to a specific receptor named kinase insert domain-containing receptor/fetal liver kinase (KDR/FIk-1, KDR).
2	10977134	VEGF receptor expression was examined by RT-PCR, and activation of MAP kinase was examined with antibody against phospho-Elk-1 (Ser383).
3	11018037	VEGF activated the tyrosine receptor phosphorylation of KDR and Flt1 and increased the binding of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) p85 subunit to KDR and Flt1, both of which could mediate CTGF gene induction.
4	11018037	These data suggest that VEGF can increase CTGF gene expression in bovine retinal capillary cells via KDR or Flt receptors and the activation of PI3-kinase-Akt pathway independently of PKC or Ras-ERK pathway, possibly inducing the fibrosis observed in retinal neovascular diseases.
5	11290536	In this study we report that hyperglycemic insult results in reduced levels of VEGF-A in the conceptus, which in turn, leads to abnormal VEGF receptor signaling, ultimately resulting in embryonic (vitelline) vasculopathy.
6	15806157	In addition, we show that the reduction in tumor angiogenesis is correlated with a reduced association of VEGF-A with its receptor VEGF-R2 on the tumor endothelium, implicating heparanase in the mobilization of matrix-associated VEGF.
7	16436494	These data suggest that the uncoupling of VEGF with NO enhances endothelial cell proliferation via the KDR pathway.
8	16436494	In addition, a VEGF mutant, which binds only KDR, induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation, and inhibition of ERK completely blocked endothelial cell proliferation under this condition, suggesting a role of the KDR-ERK1/2 pathway on endothelial cell proliferation.
9	18078386	Finally, we investigated VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) mRNA and protein levels, eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) expression and VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 (VEGF receptor-1 and -2 respectively) immunostaining.
10	18452614	Of the proangiogenic factors, VEGF-A and VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) mRNA expression increased significantly (P < 0.05) in healthy skeletal muscle 6 h post exercise.
11	19675133	Our results demonstrated that systemic blockade of VEGF by dRK6 had deleterious effects on the heart in an animal model of type 2 diabetes; dRK6 induced downregulation of the VEGFR-2 and Akt-eNOS axis and enhancement of oxidative stress.
12	19848322	VEGF receptor 2 mRNA expression was tested with RT-PCR.
13	20564543	Most studies reviewed have focused on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) signaling for endothelial response processes and have led to the identification of many potential antiangiogenic agents.
14	18323518	Consistent with an effect on several pathways of VEGF signaling, VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) tyrosine phosphorylation and expression of VEGFR2 protein and mRNA was decreased by 81, 90, and 84%, respectively, during knockdown of PKC-epsilon, but increased during PKC-alpha knockdown.
15	18323518	By regulating VEGFR2 expression and activation, PKC-epsilon expression is critical for activation of Akt and eNOS by VEGF and contributes to VEGF-stimulated Erk activation, whereas PKC-alpha has opposite effects.
16	17402563	We found that retinal vascular cells have a characteristic pattern in VEGF receptor expression, which causes vascular pathology more frequently in the retina than in other organs.
