Serum levels of angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor in severe refractory asthma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Airway and vascular remodeling may play a prominent role in the clinical severity of severe refractory asthma (SRA). Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is an essential mediator of angiogenesis by establishing vascular integrity, whereas angiopoietin-2 ...

Expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factors A and C in patients with peptic ulcers and gastric cancer [PDF]

, 2014
Purpose: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important growth factors for metastatic tumors. To clarify the role of VEGF-A and C in patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) or gastric cancer (GC), we evaluated the expression ...

Control of VEGF-A transcriptional programs by pausing and genomic compartmentalization. [PDF]

, 2014
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a master regulator of angiogenesis, vascular development and function. In this study we investigated the transcriptional regulation of VEGF-A-responsive genes in primary human aortic endothelial cells ...

Positive and negative regulation of angiogenesis by soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 [PDF]

, 2018
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-1 exists in different forms, derived from alternative splicing of the same gene. In addition to the transmembrane form, endothelial cells produce a soluble VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1) isoform, whereas non ...
