The current studies therefore examined the effect of bFGF and VEGF on the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 ( VCAM-1 ) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC ) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) ... The data indicate that bFGF , but not VEGF, suppresses the production of VCAM-1 by HUVEC under stimulation with TNF-alpha

Stimulation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by VEGF or bFGF for 18 h up-regulated intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 expression and significantly increased PMNL adhesion and TEM in response to complement fragment 5a ( C5a ) or interleukin (IL)-8
