Interestingly, previous reports have shown a suppressive effect of Urocortin2 on tumor vascularization via CRF receptor 2 [51,52] and depletion of CRF1 in mice suppresses intestinal angiogenesis while ablation of CRF2 augments it, supporting a role for CRF1 signals in angiogenesis [35]. The gene discussed is CRHR1; the disease is neoplasm.
