Intermedin is a new angiogenic growth factor.
Intermedin (IMD) is a newly discovered peptide closely related to adrenomedullin. We recently reported that IMD gene delivery prevented kidney damage and capillary loss in a rat model of chronic renal injury. In this study, we evaluated the role of IMD in angiogenesis in the ischemic hindlimb. Adenovirus containing human IMD or control adenovirus (Ad.Null) was injected into the adductor muscles...
متن کاملExpression of basic fibroblastic growth factor (bFGF) in invasive ductal carcinoma
Objective: Tumor growth and metastasis are angiogenesis-dependent processes. In breast cancer, as well as other tumors, a group of angiogenic growth factors are defined and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a well characterized potent angiogenic growth factor. Study design: Expression of bFGF was examined by immunohistochemistry in fifty-eight mastectomy specimens and its relationship wi...
متن کاملErythropoietin as an angiogenic factor.
Erythropoietin (Epo) is produced by the fetal liver and adult kidney and is an essential stimulator of erythropoiesis. It has, however, been shown to modulate host cellular signal transduction pathway to perform many other functions. New sites of Epo production have been found, such as the female reproductive organs and central nervous system. This review summarizes the involvement of Epo in th...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of basic fibroblastic growth factor upregulates connexin43 expression in the human glioblastoma cells
Decreasing Connexin43 (Cx43) expression and dysfunction of gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) is associated with increasing proliferation and the grade of human glioma cells. Our group has previously reported that bFGF knockdown interferes connexin43 expression, however, the mechanisms underlying this interference remain unknown. We hypothesized that the bFGF signaling pathway may ...
متن کاملIncreased angiogenesis in primary myelofibrosis: latent transforming growth factor-β as a possible angiogenic factor
OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to demonstrate a possible relationship between anti-latency-associated peptide human latent transforming growth factor beta 1 (latent TGF-β1) expression in megakaryocytes and microvascular density in bone marrow biopsies from patients with essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis. METHODS Microvascular density was evaluated by immunohistochemical ...
