Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) induces angiogenesis, but also disrupts vascular barrier function in diseased tissues. VEGF-mediated pathogenic effects are due to its effects on vascular permeability, resulting in injury to ischemic tissues after stroke or myocardial infarction. In cancer, VEGF-mediated disruption of the vascular barrier may lead to metastatic disease.
