Effects of aspirin on intra-platelet vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin-1, and p-selectin levels in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Although aspirin is useful in reducing platelet activation and cardiovascular events, its effects on platelet levels of angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), and markers of platelet activation in hypertension are unknown. The aim of this study was to study the effects of aspirin on the platelet morphology, plasma and platele...
متن کاملAngiopoietin-1 reduces vascular endothelial growth factor-induced brain endothelial permeability via upregulation of ZO-2.
Brain microvessels possess barrier structures comprising tight junctions which are critical for the maintenance of central nervous system homeostasis. Brain vascular diseases, such as ischemic stroke damage to blood-brain barrier, increase the vascular permeability, and then lead to vasogenic brain edema. Herein, we examined whether angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) could regulate zonula occludens-2 (ZO-2...
متن کاملPlatelet: transporter of vascular endothelial growth factor.
In animal models, growth of tumors and their metastases is dependent on factors that stimulate vessel formation (angiogenesis). Most clinical studies confirm the importance of angiogenesis for cancer growth in patients. Recent studies on circulating angiogenic factors in patients have focused on serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in a variety of cancer types. We measured ser...
متن کاملPlasma angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, angiopoietin receptor tie-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor levels in acute coronary syndromes.
BACKGROUND Angiopoietin (Ang) -1 and -2, their receptor Tie-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) regulate angiogenesis and may be important in myocardial collateral development. Elevated levels of growth factors and their receptors are reported in myocardial infarction (MI), but changes after an acute coronary event are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Plasma Ang-1, Ang-2, Tie-2, and ...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
