Q&As

How is FLT1 linked to preeclampsia in pregnancy?

Elevated levels of soluble FLT1 have been associated with preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication. Soluble FLT1 acts as a decoy receptor, reducing the bioavailability of VEGF and contributing to vascular dysfunction.

How does FLT1 contribute to retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy?

FLT1 has been implicated in retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy, where abnormal blood vessel growth can lead to vision impairment. Inhibiting FLT1 may help regulate angiogenesis in such conditions.

How is FLT1 expression regulated in the human body?

FLT1 expression is regulated by various factors, including VEGF itself, as well as hypoxia and inflammation. These factors influence the balance of angiogenic signaling.

Can FLT1 be a biomarker for certain diseases?

Yes, elevated levels of soluble FLT1 have been investigated as potential biomarkers for conditions like preeclampsia, cancer, and certain cardiovascular diseases.

Can FLT1 be targeted for anti-angiogenic therapy?

Yes, targeting FLT1 is a strategy for anti-angiogenic therapy. Inhibiting FLT1 can impede blood vessel formation, limiting the blood supply to tumors and potentially slowing their growth.
