Nickel 61-67 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 76-80 16283513-3 2005 Previous studies have revealed that nickel compounds can induce the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is a key mediator of angiogenesis both in physiological and pathologic conditions. Nickel 36-42 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 82-116 16283513-3 2005 Previous studies have revealed that nickel compounds can induce the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is a key mediator of angiogenesis both in physiological and pathologic conditions. Nickel 36-42 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 118-122 16283513-4 2005 In the present study, we investigated the potential roles of PI-3K, ERKs, p38 kinase and calcium signalling in VEGF induction by nickel in Cl 41 cells. Nickel 129-135 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 111-115 16283513-5 2005 Exposure of Cl 41 cells to nickel compounds led to VEGF induction in both time- and dose-dependent manners. Nickel 27-33 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 51-55 16283513-6 2005 Pre-treatment of Cl 41 cells with PI-3K inhibitor, wortmannin or Ly294002, resulted in a striking inhibition of VEGF induction by nickel compounds, implicating the role of PI-3K in the induction. Nickel 130-136 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 112-116 16283513-9 2005 Pre-treatment of Cl 41 cells with intracellular calcium chelator, but not calcium channel blocker, inhibited VEGF induction by nickel. Nickel 127-133 vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens 109-113 16283513-10 2005 Collectively these data demonstrate that PI-3K, ERKs and cytosolic calcium, but not p38 kinase, play essential roles in VEGF induction by nickel compounds.
