Semiquantitative RT-PCR of VEGF family genes in MCF-7 cells cultured in low-serum medium and exposed for different times to extracellular Tat 86aa . Increased expression of the VEGF receptor-2 (Flk-1/KDR) and VEGF isoform 165. To a lower extent, the VEGF isoform-121 was also up-regulated. The GAPDH signal was used as a control.
