    Serum VGF levels were significantly lower in MDD patients but higher in BD patients compared with HC (both PTukey < 0.01). No correlation was found between serum VGF levels and any data of subjects.

    Higher serum VGF protein levels discriminate bipolar depression from major depressive disorder.

    H19 is a promising prognostic factor in Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) with malignant behaviors and functions as an oncogene via the VGF-mediated PI3K/AKT/CREB pathway. In addition, our study implies that VGF may also serve as a candidate prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in pNENs.

    lncRNA H19 binds VGF and promotes pNEN progression via PI3K/AKT/CREB signaling.
