VEGFA and neoplasm: Staining for the sinusoidal endothelial cell marker CD31 indicated that there were a smaller number of blood vessels in the tumours made by miR-137 over-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells (Figure 4A-4F) and furthermore the expression of vasculogenesis markers, VEGF and vWF were dramatically reduced (Figure 4G-4L; Figure 4M-4R).
