Objective Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling induces Notch signaling
during angiogenesis. Flt-1/VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) negatively modulates VEGF
signaling. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that disrupted Flt-1 regulation of VEGF
signaling causes Notch pathway defects that contribute to dysmorphogenesis of Flt-1 mutant
vessels.
Abstract
Objective
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling induces Notch signaling during angiogenesis. Flt-1/VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) negatively modulates VEGF signaling. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that disrupted Flt-1 regulation of VEGF signaling causes Notch pathway defects that contribute to dysmorphogenesis of Flt-1 mutant vessels.
