Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) is located on human chromosome 6p21.3 and belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. Its transcript undergoes complex alternative splicing, generating multiple isoforms, including VEGF121, VEGF145, VEGF165, VEGF183, VEGF189, and VEGF206. These isoforms differ significantly in receptor-binding specificity, heparin-binding capacity, and biological activity. VEGF165 is the most abundantly expressed isoform in most tissues, displaying full biological activity and high solubility. In contrast, VEGF189 and VEGF206 primarily bind to extracellular matrix components and cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans, requiring proteolytic cleavage to release active forms. A distinct isoform, VEGF165b, can bind VEGFR2 without activating downstream signaling, exhibiting anti-angiogenic properties and contributing to an endogenous regulatory balance.

VEGF protein is a secreted homodimeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 40–45 kDa. Monomers are linked via disulfide bonds to form functional dimers. The molecule contains a characteristic cystine knot motif, a conserved structural domain among VEGF family members. Its expression is tightly regulated at multiple levels. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling plays a central role, where HIF-1α stabilization under low oxygen conditions leads to nuclear translocation, dimerization with HIF-1β, and activation of VEGF transcription via hypoxia response elements (HREs) in the promoter. In addition, inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and oncogenes can upregulate VEGF expression through diverse signaling pathways. Post-transcriptional mechanisms, including mRNA stability, microRNA-mediated translational inhibition, and proteolytic processing, further fine-tune VEGF levels.
VEGF is a highly specific mitogen for endothelial cells and serves as a central regulator of both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Its biological effects are primarily mediated through three receptor tyrosine kinases: VEGFR1 (Flt-1), VEGFR2 (KDR/Flk-1), and VEGFR3 (Flt-4), with VEGFR2 acting as the key receptor for promoting endothelial proliferation, migration, survival, and increased vascular permeability. VEGF binding induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, activating multiple downstream signaling cascades, including the PLCγ-PKC-MAPK pathway for cell proliferation, the PI3K-Akt pathway for survival, and the FAK-paxillin pathway for migration. Functional VEGF receptors are also expressed on various tumor cells, where autocrine and paracrine VEGF signaling can directly enhance cell survival and invasiveness.
VEGF uniquely regulates vascular permeability, far exceeding classical inflammatory mediators like histamine. It promotes vesiculo-vacuolar organelle formation and intercellular gap opening, facilitating plasma protein extravasation. This process is physiologically important in early wound healing, providing a scaffold for fibrin deposition. In pathological conditions such as tumors, high vascular permeability contributes to elevated interstitial pressure, impeding drug delivery and promoting inflammatory infiltration. Beyond angiogenesis, VEGF modulates the immune microenvironment by inhibiting dendritic cell maturation, promoting regulatory T cell expansion, and recruiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells, creating an immunosuppressive milieu. In the nervous system, VEGF interacts with NRP1 to guide motor neuron axon navigation and cell body migration during embryonic development, especially for facial motor neurons migrating from rhombomere 4 to 6.
Recent findings highlight VEGF's role in maintaining tumor stem cell populations. Autocrine VEGF signaling via VEGFR2 upregulates stemness-associated transcription factors such as SOX2, OCT4, and NANOG, promoting cancer stem cell self-renewal and chemoresistance. This evidence expands the rationale for VEGF-targeted therapy, indicating direct effects on tumor cell stemness beyond vascular modulation. In severe viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, VEGF upregulation contributes to inflammatory cell recruitment and amplifies vascular stress, exacerbating tissue injury.
VEGF is central to disease mechanisms, particularly in oncology and ophthalmology. Overexpression drives tumor progression, contributes to therapy resistance, and supports metastasis. In ocular diseases, VEGF plays a key role in diabetic macular edema and neovascular age-related macular degeneration by disrupting the blood-retinal barrier and promoting retinal edema. Current first-line therapies involve intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents, which require repeated dosing and can face challenges with patient adherence and diminishing long-term efficacy. Newer strategies, including bispecific antibodies and dual-target fusion proteins, aim to simultaneously inhibit angiogenesis and inflammation, addressing the complex pathological mechanisms.
Anti-VEGF therapy faces limitations such as drug resistance, adverse effects, and administration challenges. Compensatory angiogenic pathways can emerge during tumor treatment, reducing efficacy, while a subset of ocular patients exhibit suboptimal responses due to non-VEGF-driven mechanisms. Systemic adverse events may include hypertension, proteinuria, and thromboembolic events, whereas intraocular injections carry risks of elevated intraocular pressure, retinal detachment, and endophthalmitis. Ongoing research seeks to optimize therapeutic strategies, improve delivery, and overcome resistance to enhance clinical outcomes.
