Apoptosis Induction in Human Lung and Colon Cancer Cells via Impeding VEGF Signaling Pathways

Researchers assessed the suppressing effect of VGB4, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist peptide with the binding ability to both VEGF receptor1 and VEGF receptor2, on VEGF-induced proliferation and migration of the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 and the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT29.
