Wild-type and mutant inhibitors of kappaBalpha ( IkappaBalpha ) constructions were used to further assess the role of NF-kappaB in the induction of VEGFR2 expression ... Exposure to exogenous VEGF also increased VEGFR2 and induced NF-kappaB in EC

This protection did not correlate with the modulation of the expression of VEGF receptors, but is clearly linked to the phosphorylation of the KDR/Flk-1 receptor, the activation of NF-kappaB , and/or the overexpression of the antiapoptotic protein alphaB-crystallin
