CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that depression, one of the most common psychiatric illnesses, is associated with reduced levels of neurotrophic factors, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), contributing to neuronal atrophy in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus, and reduced hippocampal adult neurogenesis. 31830487 2020
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The patients with depression showed lower mean VEGF levels in the CSF prior to ECT than the controls (p = 0.041). 31103810 2019
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Overall, our results indicate that the measurement of VEGF protein is not a useful marker for depression or response to treatment, and suggest that the measurement of VEGFA mRNA may prove more useful. 29968119 2018
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE The present study demonstrated that miR-27a expression in hippocampal tissues and blood from rats with depression is upregulated, while the expression of VEGFA mRNA and protein is downregulated. miR-27a may participate in the pathological process of depression in rats by regulating VEGFA. 29731825 2018
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These behaviors were associated with an increase 5-HT and DA neurotransmitter content, as well as an increase of VEGF levels in the hippocampus of the post-MI depression rats. 29574217 2018
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE This novel association reveals new molecular mechanisms suggesting the potential role of VEGF in depression development that could help to promote a personalized prediction for this severe common disease. 28267147 2017
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE 159 individuals including PSD, stroke without depression (Non-PSD), major depressive disorder (MDD) and normal control groups were recruited and examined the protein and mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR2), placental growth factor (PIGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor receptors (IGF-1R). 27527872 2016
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Increased serum levels of sortilin are associated with depression and correlated with BDNF and VEGF. 26556286 2015
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder

0.400 Biomarker disease PSYGENET Induction of proteinuria by cannabinoid receptors 1 signaling activation in CB1 transgenic mice. 25474224 2015
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The genetic marker rs10434 was significantly associated with depression after correction for multiple testing, but not with the serum VEGF level. 24636631 2014
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease PSYGENET Elevated levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are observed in conditions with vessel and neuron damage or pathological arborization and can therefore be detected in chronic inflammatory process, cardiovascular disease and depression. 24718046 2014
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE A higher VEGF concentration may play a potentially significant role in the pathogenesis of depression, and the expression level appears to be unaffected by additional factors. 24718046 2014
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease PSYGENET However, only a few studies have investigated serum VEGF levels in individuals with depression, or the possible association between genetic variants within the VEGF gene and depression. 24636631 2014

Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease PSYGENET Limited information related to the role of VEGFA gene polymorphism in depressive disorder is available. 23673188 2013

CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease PSYGENET In this study, we have observed that Nrf2 deletion in mice results in: (i) a depressive-like behavior evaluated as an increase in the immobility time in the tail-suspension test and by a decrease in the grooming time in the splash test, (ii) reduced levels of dopamine and serotonin and increased levels of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex, (iii) altered levels of proteins associated to depression such as VEGF and synaptophysin and (iv) microgliosis. 23623252 2013
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Recent research findings suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) participates in the development of depressive disorder. 23164459 2013
CUI: C0011581
Disease: Depressive disorder
Depressive disorder
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Chronic stress decreases neurotrophin levels, precipitating or exacerbating depression; conversely, antidepressants increase expression of various neurotrophins (e.g., brain-derived neurotrophic factor and vascular endothelial growth factor), thereby blocking or reversing structural and functional pathologies via promoting neurogenesis. 19423950 2009
CUI: C0011581
