Vascular permeability: the flow factor
Vascular permeability: the flow factor R ivers rarely run a smooth course. Blood vessels, just like rivers, have turns, tributaries and other obstacles that create eddies and other irregularities in the fl ow. In vessels, such areas of disturbed fl ow are more permeable and more prone to atherosclerotic plaques. Orr et al. (page 719) now reveal that a matrix protein that is abundant at such sit...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor is an autocrine growth factor for AIDS-Kaposi sarcoma.
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common tumor associated with HIV-1 infection and develops in nearly 30% of cases. The principal features of this tumor are abnormal vascularization and the proliferation of endothelial cells and spindle (tumor) cells. KS-derived spindle cells induce vascular lesions and display enhanced vascular permeability when inoculated subcutaneously in the nude mouse. This ...
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 ...

متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor enhances vascular permeability via nitric oxide and prostacyclin.
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an endothelial cell mitogen that promotes angiogenesis, was initially identified as a vascular permeability factor (VPF). Abundant evidence suggests that angiogenesis is preceded and/or accompanied by enhanced microvascular permeability. The mechanism by which VEGF/VPF increases vascular permeability (VP), however, has remained enigmatic. Ac...
