VEGF expression determined by Western blot and immunoprecipitation.A. Western blot using LiCor Odyssey to simultaneously image pan-VEGF and VEGF-A165b probed western blot. Two different podocyte samples, and a primary RPE sample were run on a gel and probed with antibodies to VEGF-A165b (mouse monoclonal anti-CTRSLTRKD, and 680nm-donkey anti-mouse, top image) and pan-VEGF (rabbit polyclonal anti-VEGF, and 800nm-donkey anti-rabbit, middle image). The bottom image is the pseudocoloured combined image (600nm green, 800nm red). Note the red VEGF165, but yellow VEGF-A165b. MWM = molecular weight marker. d = dimer, m = monomer. B. Protein extracted from human cell lines (adenoma and adenocarcinoma(AC)) subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) for VEGF-A165b and immunoblotting (IB) for total VEGF-A. A clear strong band was seen in the IP for both cell types at ∼23kDa and ∼46kDa, consistent with the IP for recombinant human VEGF-A165b. A weaker band was seen in the input protein (not subjected to IP), and a second band slightly higher in the AC. A weak band at approximately 56kDa and 28kDa was seen in all lanes subjected to IP, including the VEGF-A165a band, but not seen in the recombinant human VEGF-A165b not subjected to IP, indicating that this is cross reactivity with the IgG. This band was clearly above the VEGF-A165b bands. C. Protein extracted from human cell lines (adenoma and adenocarcinoma(AC)) subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) for VEGF-A and immunoblotting (IB) for VEGF-A165b. A clear strong band was seen in the IP for both cell types at ∼23kDa, the same size as recombinant human VEGF-A165b. In the input a band at ∼46Da was seen predominantly, for both cell types, labelled as VEGF-A165b dimers. D. Mouse tissues probed with VEGF-A165b antibody detect mouse IgG due to the secondary antibody. Top image, western blot of mouse tissues, recombinant mouse IgG or human VEGF-A165b or VEGF-A165b probed with mouse anti-CTRSLTRKD, and 680nm-donkey anti-mouse IgG. Bottom image blot of same tissues, probed without primary antibody. The same bands are seen in the mouse tissues. Spl = spleen, Col = colon, Hrt = heart, Lng = lung, Liv = liver, Kid = kidney.

Background: VEGF

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF or VEGF-A), also known as Vascular Permeability Factor (VPF), is a potent mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in the fetus and adult. It is a member of the PDGF family that is characterized by the presence of eight conserved cysteine residues and a cystine knot structure. VEGF165 appears to be the most abundant and potent isoform, followed by VEGF121 and VEGF189. Human VEGF165 is an approximately 44 kDa molecular weight homodimer sharing 88% aa sequence identity with corresponding regions of mouse and rat, 96% with porcine, 95% with canine, and 93% with feline, equine and bovine VEGF, respectively. VEGF binds the type I transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases VEGF R1 (also called Flt-1) and VEGF R2 (Flk-1/KDR) on endothelial cells. Although VEGF affinity is highest for binding to VEGF R1, VEGF R2 appears to be the primary mediator of VEGF angiogenic activity. VEGF165 binds the Semaphorin receptor, Neuropilin-1 and promotes complex formation with VEGF R2. VEGF is required during embryogenesis and functions to regulate the proliferation, migration, and survival of endothelial cells. In adults, VEGF functions mainly in wound healing and the female reproductive cycle. Pathologically, it is involved in tumor angiogenesis and vascular leakage. Circulating VEGF levels correlate with disease activity in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. VEGF is induced by hypoxia and cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, Oncostatin M (OSM) and TNF-alpha.
