Plasma angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, and angiopoietin receptor tie-2 levels in congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this research was to test the hypothesis that plasma angiopoietin (Ang-1), its soluble receptor tie-2, and Ang-2 levels would be abnormal in patients with acute and chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) when compared with healthy controls. BACKGROUND Increased plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in CHF is suggestive of excess angiogenesis-possibly driven b...
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 کاملPlasma concentrations of angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2 and Tie-2 in colon cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIM despite the rapidly accumulating histopathological data reporting differences in the expression of members of the angiopoietin family on the surface of various normal and tumour cells, data for these growth factors in plasma from cancer patients, including colon cancer, are scarce. The aims of the present study were to measure the plasma concentrations of Ang-1, Ang-2 and Tie-2 i...
متن کاملCorrelation between plasma angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in coronary heart disease
INTRODUCTION Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) plays a critical role in inducing tumor cell infiltration, and this invasive phenotype is caused by up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2. The relationship between Ang-2 and MMP-2 in atherosclerosis has not been reported yet. The aim is to measure the plasma concentrations of Ang-1, Ang-2 and MMP-2 and assess the correlation between the concentrat...
متن کاملAngiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2 and Tie-2 expression in eutopic endometrium in advanced endometriosis.
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynaecological disorders, but its aetiology and pathogenesis remain obscure. The refluxed menstrual debris in women with endometriosis may be more prone to implantation, invasion and growth in the peritoneum or ovary through the actions of extracellular proteolysis and angiogenesis. It has been hypothesized that the endometrium from women with endometrios...
