Vasoactive intestinal peptide and inflammatory cytokines enhance vascular endothelial growth factor production from epidermal keratinocytes

Summary Background  Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in epidermal lesions of psoriasis is well documented; however, its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We have recently demonstrated that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) induces the production of cytokines suc...
