Abstract Title: 

[Effects of lactoferrin on vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor expression in human Tca8113 cell line].

Abstract: 

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of lactoferrin on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) expression.METHODS: Lactoferrin at concentration of 0.006, 0.013, 0.025, 0.050 g/L and blank control groups were included in this study. The gene and protein expression of VEGF, bFGF were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting.RESULTS: The RT-PCR and Western blotting assay showed that VEGF mRNA(0.31 +/- 0.08) and protein (0.68 +/- 0.11) in lactoferrin (0.050 g/L) group were significantly lower than in the control group (P
