Abstract_ Background Early growth response-1 Egr-I is an immediate-early transcription factor inducible in the vasculature in response to injury shear stress and other stimuli. Mice lacking Egr- 1 have a profound deficit in the ability to recover from femoral artery ligation suggesting a role in neovascularization. Previous studies have shown that manipulating Egr- 1 expression can have either positive or negative effects on tumor growth. We hypothesized that Egr-1 knockout mice might exhibit reduced tumor growth possibly due to a reduced capacity to respond to angiogenic signals from a growing tumor. Results We injected 106 Lewis lung carcinoma LLC1 cells subcutaneously in the flank of wild type and Egr-1 knockout mice. The average mass of tumors from wild type mice at 12 days after implantation was 413 - 128 mg while those from Egr-1- - mice was 219 - 81 mg p 0.001 mean - SD . However sectioning the tumors and .
