Abstract:
:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), is an angiogenic factor that plays important roles in tumor growth. Angiogenesis studies on VEGF deal with various types of malignant tumors, but very little is known about the role or significance of VEGF in human thyroid neoplasms. Therefore, in the current study, we determined whether VEGF is found in normal and neoplastic thyroids and whether its expression is altered in different histological types of thyroid neoplasms. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that all specimens of thyroid tumors expressed bands corresponding to 121-, 165-, and 189-amino acid forms of VEGF. Northern blot analysis showed an increase in VEGF mRNA levels in neoplastic tissues in comparison with normal thyroid samples. By nonisotopic in situ hybridization, most of the tumor cells in follicular adenomas expressed VEGF mRNA, whereas VEGF mRNA expression was identified only in epithelium of isolated follicles in normal thyroid tissues. In papillary thyroid carcinomas, an intense labeling with VEGF probe was often found in overlying tumor cells of neoplastic papillae. VEGF expression was distinctly intensified in undifferentiated carcinoma cells that were immediately adjacent to necrotic foci. The immunohistochemical localizations of VEGF protein were comparable to the localization of VEGF mRNA. In conclusion, our results suggest that the histological types of thyroid tumor may determine the vascular pattern through a paracrine mechanism involving VEGF.
