MiR-200b Regulates Ets-1-associated Genes
Suppression of endogenous miR-200b induced MMP-1 and VEGFR2 expressions
Overexpression of Ets-1 did not completely reverse miR- 200b-associated MMP-1 and VEGFR2 down-regulation.
It indicates that miR-200b, apart from targeting Ets-1, might silence other target proteins involved in transcription of the indicated genes.

VEGFR2 is highly specific towards VEGFA.

However VEGFR2 also binds to processed forms of VEGF-C, D, E.
VEGFR2 is expressed in both vascular endothelial and lymphatic endothelial cells.
Its expression has also been demonstrated in several other cell types such as megakaryocytes and haematopoietic stemm cells.

Although Endothelial cells express both receptors VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, only VEGFR2 is able to mediate angiogenic effects of VEGFA

VEGFR2 and aVb3 were observed to co-associate after stimulation with either L1 (Ig6 domain) or VEGFA (isoform of 165 amino acids)
VEGFR2 was tyrosine phosphorylated after stimulation with L1 (via Ig6 domain), even in the absence of exogenous VEGFA ( (isoform of 165 amino acids), indicating close cooperation between VEGFR2 and aVb3
