Pilot study on VEGF and VEGFR2 expression in the pulp of sound and carious teeth. VEGF and VEGFR2 gene expression was analysed by RT-PCR in the dental pulp of two patients (patient A and B). Each pair consists of one tooth with a deep caries lesion and a non-carious tooth. VEGF was upregulated in the pulps of carious teeth as compared to the pulps from non-carious teeth. VEGFR2 expression was low in the pulp from one tooth with deep caries (patient A), and undetectable by RT-PCR in the remaining samples analysed here.
