Tumor necrosis factor-alpha regulates vascular endothelial growth factor secretion by human oviductal epithelial cells and stromal fibroblasts Tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulates the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor by cultured human oviductal epithelial cells and stromal fibroblasts.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-stimulated vascular endothelial growth factor secretion by these cells may control oviductal fluid secretion by regulating vascular
permeability. (Fertil Steril 2007;87:220 –2. ©2007 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.)
