Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in myeloma cells.
VEGF transcripts in human myeloma cell lines (lanes 2-5) and in CD38high/CD138+ or CD38high/CD56+ sorted myeloma cells from the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma (MM 1-4) were analyzed by RT-PCR. The primers used allowed the amplification of the known splice variants of VEGF. Only the two lower molecular weight isoforms VEGF165 (648 base pairs [bp]) and VEGF121 (516 bp) were detected.
