Epithelial cells are a rich source of cytokines, including the angiogenic chemokine CXCL5, and play an important role in vascular remodeling in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The receptor soaks up angiogenic growth factors, depriving blood vessels in the brain, lungs, and kidneys of essential maintenance tools.
They may secrete paracrine growth factors that regulate the angiogenic response and may participate in cell-cell contact events that facilitate endothelial cell sprouting and growth.
The role of angiogenesis and angiogenic factors has been widely studied in models of pancreatic [beta] cell carcinogenesis.
In response to hypoxemia, tumors secrete angiogenic cytokines, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, inducing the formation of microvessels from the surrounding host vasculature.
