Abstract: Pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) can induce the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),one of the most important angiogenic growth factors for tumor angiogenesis,to promote tumor angiogenesis.It has been revealed that PTTG can transactivate the inhibitor of DNA binding-3 (ID3)and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) by interacting with PTTG binding factor (PBF) and specificity protein 1 (Sp1).PTTG can also regulate the transcription of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2),thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) through other pathways,which are all involved in the mechanisms underlying the induction of VEGF expression by PTTG.
