Angiotensin II-mediated vascular inflammation: the balance between vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietins.
Angiotensin II–Mediated Vascular Inflammation: The Balance Between Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Angiopoietins To the Editor: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor and plays a key role in postnatal angiogenesis in human pathophysiology, including cardiovascular disease. The activation of the renin-angiotensin system has been similarly implicated in the...
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 from Embryonic Status to Cardiovascular Pathology
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. VEGF is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kDa produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly T ...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor and the angiopoietins: working together to build a better blood vessel.
Angiogenesis is a complex multistep process by which new blood vessels are formed from the preexisting vasculature.1,2 Angiogenesis is a crucial event in normal embryonic development, and it contributes to the development and progression of a number of diseases, including cancer, arthritis, and diabetes. Conversely, insufficient growth of collateral vessels is a major clinical problem in athero...
متن کاملEvaluation of Periodontal Disease Effect on the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor in Dental Pulp
Introduction: Researchers have always been interested in the close and mutual relationship between the pulp and periodontal tissues. Although the effects of pulpal disease on periodontium have been well known, the clear relationship between periodontitis and pulp has not been documented . It seems that bacteria and inflammatory products of periodontitis can affect pulp through accessory canals,...
