Inflammatory Mediators of Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis gained a stable position in the field of patho-genesis. Vascular changes are a recognized hallmark of cancer growth, inflammatory disorders, and retina disorders, particularly in the context of diabetes. The inflammatory process, defined by the release of mediators from activated neutro-phils, macrophages, and other myeloid cells, intersects with vascular changes, but the nature of...
متن کاملRole of inflammatory mediators in angiogenesis.
The angiogenic process involves several cell types and mediators, which interact to establish a specific microenvironment suitable for the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis occurs in several physiological and pathological conditions, such as embryo development and wound healing, diabetic retinopathy and tumours. Inflammatory cells, namely monocytes/macrophages...
متن کاملChemokines as mediators of angiogenesis.
Chemokines were originally described as cytokines that mediate leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation. Members of a subgroup of chemokines, the CXC family, also play a critical role in both physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis, including in the context of chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and malignancy. A unique feature of this family of cytokines is that, on the basis of their struct...
متن کاملNeurotrophins: novel mediators of angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is a highly coordinated physiological process in which new blood vessels are formed to meet the oxygenation demands of local tissues. Several classes of growth factors, including members of the vascular endothelial growth factor family, angiopoietins, platelet derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factors and ephrins have been implicated in regulating specific aspects of angioge...
متن کاملInflammatory mediators of pain.
While sensory fibres normally respond to a range of physical and chemical stimuli their activity and metabolism are profoundly altered by a variety of mediators generated by tissue injury and inflammation. These include substances produced by damaged tissue, substances of vascular origin as well as substances released by afferent fibres themselves, sympathetic fibres and various immune cells. T...
