Neuropilin-2 expression affects the increased vascularization and is a prognostic factor in osteosarcoma.

Neuropilin-2 expression affects the increased vascularization and is a prognostic factor in osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor characterized by hypervascularity. Neuropilins (NRPs), which is expressed by human tumor cells, is known to be a potent receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We examined NRPs mRNA expression in 30 osteosarcomas. The osteosarcomas with NRP2 exp...
