血管内皮生长因子(VEGF, VEGF- a)是生理性和病理性血管生成的主要调节因子。VEGF的一个特征是存在由选择性外显子剪接引起的多个同种异构体。我们最初的生化和生物学研究表明,由于这些同种异构体与细胞外基质(ECM)相互作用的不同能力,它们非常适合产生血管生成梯度。尽管ecm结合的VEGF具有生物活性,但经生理相关蛋白酶(如纤溶酶)的加工被认为是将ecm结合的VEGF转化为自由扩散形式的关键机制。这篇回顾性的文章考察了早期的研究,并强调了我们对这些过程在健康和疾病中的理解的后续进展。
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, VEGF-A) is a major regulator of physiological and pathological angiogenesis. One feature of VEGF is the existence of multiple isoforms arising from alternative exon splicing. Our initial biochemical and biological studies indicated that such isoforms are uniquely suited to generate angiogenic gradients by virtue of their differential ability to interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Although ECM-bound VEGF was bioactive, processing by physiologically relevant proteases such as plasmin was identified as a key mechanism to convert ECM-bound VEGF into freely diffusible forms. This retrospective article examines the early studies and also emphasizes the subsequent progress in our understanding of these processes in health and disease.
