Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We show that α<sub>2</sub>-antiplasmin restricts activation of VEGF-D, enlargement of intra-tumoural lymphatics and occurrence of lymph node metastasis. 28697634 2017
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) is a key lymphangiogenic factor that is associated with lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis in GBC. 26992854 2016
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE VEGF-D-enhanced lymph node metastasis of ovarian cancer is reversed by vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein. 27211072 2016
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE However, little is known regarding the functional relationship between Sema4D and VEGF-C/VEGF-D and in the mediation of lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis and clinical outcome. 24603190 2014
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In addition, tumor-derived VEGF-C or VEGF-D may induce lymphangiogenesis and promote lymph node metastasis. 22562155 2012
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To explore the necessity of processing for the effects of VEGF-D in cancer, we use a mutant full-length form that cannot be processed, and show that, in contrast to full-length VEGF-D that is processed, this mutant does not promote tumor growth and lymph node metastasis in a mouse tumor model. 21515745 2011
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The group with high expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in marginal region had a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis compared with the group with low expression. 20225197 2010
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE It has been hypothesised that increased VEGF-D expression may be an independent prognostic factor for endometrial cancer progression and lymph node metastasis; however, the mechanism by which VEGF-D may promote disease progression in women with endometrial cancer has not been investigated. 20615255 2010
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE VEGF-C and VEGF-D expressions were associated with VEGFR-3 expression and were significantly correlated with both peritumoral lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis. 18561194 2008
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Because a comparable transgenic expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) in Rip1Tag2 has been shown previously to provoke lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis in the absence of any distant metastasis, leukocyte infiltration, or angiogenesis-suppressing effects, these results reveal further functional differences between VEGF-D and VEGF-C. 17392173 2007
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The expression of VEGF-D protein and mRNA levels in patients without lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those with metastasis (p=0.013, p=0.0494, respectively). 17970036 2007
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Nitrotyrosine levels were significantly correlated with VEGF-D immunoreactivity and lymph node metastasis. 16418215 2006
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The expression of VEGF-C (but not of VEGF-D) was significantly greater in patients with lymph node metastasis than in those without metastasis. 15688374 2005
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In conclusion, our findings indicate that VEGF-D expression and increased lymph vessel density may have an important role for lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma. 15803188 2005
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE These data suggest that targeting VEGF D and flt-4t(Delta773-1081) receptors may be particularly effective in the prevention of lymph node metastases. 15107801 2004
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor D is associated with hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1alpha) and the HIF-1alpha target gene DEC1, but not lymph node metastasis in primary human breast carcinomas. 15280403 2004
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Our results suggest that a decrease in VEGF-D mRNA or an increase in the VEGF-C/VEGF-D ratio may have an association with tumorigenesis and/or lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. 14715111 2003
Secondary malignant neoplasm of lymph node
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE However, two-way scatterplot analysis revealed that tumors with lymph node metastasis were associated with a pattern of low VEGF-D and high VEGF-A, VEGF-B, or VEGF-C, such that the ratios of VEGF-D:VEGF-A, VEGF-D:VEGF-B, or VEGF-D:VEGF-C were significantly lower in the node-positive group. 10873096 2000
