VEGFA activates NRP1. 18 / 30
| 14 4

reach
"Since GIPC1 interacts with neuropilin-1 XREF_BIBR, cells were treated with VEGFA (10 ng/ml) to determine whether the loss of cell viability caused by GIPC1 suppression could be overcome by a relevant mitogen."

reach
"VEGFR-1, but not VEGFR-2, is expressed in motor neurons of the facial nerve, leading to the assumption that VEGF-A induces the formation of a complex of VEGFR-1 and Nrp-1 that then transmits the VEGF-A signal [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"VEGF-A addition also increased the number of microspikes in NRP1 depleted ECs on FN (XREF_FIG L, compare light gray columns)."

reach
"In the absence of VEGFR-2, NRP-1 can still be activated by VEGF-A."

sparser
"NRP-1 can be activated by VEGF-A also in the absence of VEGFRs, triggering specific signal transduction pathways (e.g. p130Cas phosphorylation)."

sparser
"Concomitantly, VEGF-A-dependent activation of Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in the tip cells inhibits SMAD2/3 and SMAD1/5/8 signaling ultimately repressing the stalk cell phenotype and maintaining tip cell identity [ xref ]."

sparser
"This binding strongly inhibits the activation of NRP-1 by VEGF-A 165 , and the LPPR sequence is responsible for 75% of this inhibition [ xref ]."

reach
"VEGF-A 165 promotes the formation of a complex of NRP1 and KDR in endothelial cells, which is thought to be important for optimal VEGF signaling and function."

reach
"Unlike sema3C treated ECs, Nrp1 did not colocalize with CTbeta in cells treated with VEGF-A 165 (XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY and XREF_FIG)."

reach
"In addition, recent studies of the VEGFR co-receptor neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) have shown that the C terminus of VEGF-A 165, particularly Arg 164, mediates high affinity binding of Nrp-1, increasing VEGFR activity [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Concomitantly, VEGFA-dependent activation of Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in the tip cells inhibits SMAD2/3 and SMAD1/5/8 signaling ultimately repressing the stalk cell phenotype and maintaining tip cell identity [21]."

reach
"As a consequence, VEGF-A induced NRP1 and GIPC1 and GIPC1 and Syx complex formation without the expression of VEGFR1 or VEGFR2."

reach
"VEGFA 165 induces association of Nrp1, VEGFR2, and synectin to form a protein complex and drive intracellular trafficking of Nrp1 and VEGFR2 through specific endosomal compartments."

reach
"Both studies demonstrate that VEGF-A promotes axon guidance independently of its vascular roles through two receptors, either VEGFR2 (Ruiz de Almodovar et al., 2011) or neuropilin-1 (NRP1) (Erskine et al., 2011)."

reach
"However, recent biochemical studies demonstrated that Sema3A and VEGF-A bind to distinct domains of NRP1 [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR] and induce NRP1 endocytosis through different pathways, suggesting that these NRP1 ligands function separately, rather than competitively."

reach
"Moreover, it is not yet clear how the VEGF- and ECM driven NRP1 pathways described above intersect with NRP1 mediated TGFbeta signalling, discussed in the next section."

sparser
"In the absence of VEGFR-2, NRP-1 can still be activated by VEGF-A. Expression of NRP-1 in melanoma cells correlates with tumour cell invasive behaviour and formation of tube-like structures resembling vascular networks (vasculogenic mimicry)."

reach
"As shown in Figure XREF_FIG, VEGF-A rapidly induced complex formation of NRP-1 and VEGFR2 in HUVECs."
