Abstract

Tumor development is closely related to angiogenesis, and VEGFR2 plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis. It is broadly expressed in the blood vessels, especially in the microvessels of tumor tissues. Furthermore, VEGFR2 is detected on the surface of the cell membrane in various immune cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs, which are one of the key negative regulatory factors in tumor immune microenvironments, show high-level expression of VEGFR2 which participates in the regulation of immunosuppressive function.
