1 9621286 The ability of VEGF to be chemotactic for monocytes and to increase the activity of collagenase and plasminogen activator may have implications for renal development and renal disease.
2 9621286 In humans, the cellular actions of VEGF depend on binding to two specific receptors: Flt-1 and KDR.
3 9621286 The aims of this study were: (1) to localize VEGF receptor proteins in human renal ontogenesis; (2) to quantify VEGF binding in human fetal and adult kidney; and (3) to dissect the binding into its two known components: the KDR and Flt-1 receptors.
4 9621286 The latter aim was achieved by competitive binding of VEGF and placenta growth factor-2, which only binds to Flt-1.
5 9621286 By double-label immunohistochemistry, VEGF receptor proteins were localized solely to endothelial cells of preglomerular vessels, glomeruli, and postglomerular vessels.
6 9621286 In developing glomeruli, VEGF receptor protein appeared as soon as endothelial cells were positive for von Willebrand factor.
7 9621286 Placenta growth factor-2 displaced VEGF binding in all renal structures by approximately 60%.
8 9621286 VEGF receptor proteins thus were found only in renal endothelial cells.
9 9621286 A coexpression of both VEGF binding sites could be shown, with Flt-1 demonstrating the most abundant VEGF receptor binding sites in the kidney.
10 10864579 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent mitogen, is expressed in podocytes in the glomerulus, and VEGF receptors (flt-1, KDR, and neuropilin-1) are present on endothelial cells and other cell types.
11 10864579 In contrast, mesangial flt-1 and KDR receptor staining were both clearly seen in biopsy samples from proliferative renal diseases.
12 10864579 In conclusion, flt-1, KDR, and neuropilin-1 are present on cultured HMC, and VEGF(165) induces HMC proliferation.
13 10864579 In addition, the flt-1 and KDR receptors are expressed in the mesangium in mesangioproliferative disease.
