VEGF-mediated survival of NSCLC cells. Lung tumor cells were examined for their expression of VEGF mRNA and protein (A). The VEGF receptors, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, NP1 and NP2 were also assessed at the mRNA (B) and protein (C) levels by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. All four NSCLC cell lines were treated with recombinant human VEGF (100 ng/ml) for 48 h. Cell proliferation was then measured using the BrdU cell proliferation ELISA assay (*p < 0.05, VEGF vs untreated, n = 3) (D).
