2 VEGF A Key Mediator of Angiogenesis Binding and activation of VEGFR Environmental factors (Hypoxia, pH) Growth factors Hormones (EGF, bFGF, PDGF, IGF-1, IL-1 , IL-6, estrogen) Genes involved in tumorigenesis (p53, p73, src, ras, vHL, Scr-Abl) P P P P ANGIOGENESIS ProliferationSurvivalMigration Endothelial cell activation Increased VEGF levels VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor; EGF = epidermal growth factor; bFGF = basic fibroblastic growth factor; PDGF = platelet-derived growth factor; IGF = insulin-like growth factor; IL = interleukin; VEGFR = VEGF receptor.
