How VEGF-AS works
(VEGF-AS)VEGF-AS is an antisense oligonucleotide that binds with DNA genes that are responsible for the production of proteins called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF), with the intention of inhibiting their production. VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is an essential family of naturally-occurring growth factors found in humans and other animals that stimulates growth and supports survival of cells of the vascular system. VEGF is necessary for production of the blood vessels that transport nutrients and oxygen to cells and organs (angiogenesis). Without these vessels, tumors have limited capacity to grow. In addition, certain tumor cells themselves express the receptors for VEGF, and use VEGF as a growth stimulus.
