VEGFR-2 is expressed in the BON cell line. The expression of VEGFR-2 in the BON cell line was assessed with (a) Western blot and (b) immunocytochemistry. Human microvascular endothelial cells of the lung (HMVEC-L) were used as a positive control for VEGFR-2 expression, while the colon cancer cell line HT29 was used as a negative control. While VEGFR-2 is generally confined to endothelial cells lining blood vessels and involved in angiogenesis, these findings demonstrate that VEGFR-2 is expressed in the epithelial component, as well as the endothelial component of carcinoid tumors.
