VEGFA and cancer: Our results are consistent with earlier studies, which state that resveratrol attenuates VEGF expression in several human cancer cell lines.38, 43 Cao et al showed that resveratrol inhibited hypoxia‐induced VEGF mRNA expression and its protein levels in human ovarian cancer cells in a dose‐dependent manner.38 Hypoxia is involved in the regulation the expression of angiogenesis genes such as VEGF.
