We present novel findings demonstrating that stretch induced VEGF expression in retinal capillary pericytes is mediated by phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and protein kinase C (PKC)-zeta but is not mediated by ERK1/2 , classical/novel isoforms of PKC, Akt, or Ras despite their activation by stretch
