Hyperthermia-induced upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in retinal pigment epithelial cells is regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinases
2014
Purpose
Localized application of hyperthermia is a potential treatment for retinal diseases. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) derived from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is implicated in a variety of retinal pathologies. As it has been recently shown that hyperthermia may induce VEGF in the RPE, the aim of this study was to investigate hyperthermia-induced VEGF secretion and the pathways of hyperthermal VEGF upregulation in the RPE.
