Acupuncture Promotes Angiogenesis after Myocardial Ischemia through H3K9 Acetylation Regulation at VEGF Gene
BACKGROUND Acupuncture exerts cardioprotective effects on several types of cardiac injuries, especially myocardial ischemia (MI), but the mechanisms have not yet been well elucidated. Angiogenesis mediated by VEGF gene expression and its modification through histone acetylation has been considered a target in treating myocardial ischemia. This study aims to exam whether modulation of angiogenes...
متن کاملHigh-Mobility Group Box-1 Protein Promotes Angiogenesis After Peripheral Ischemia in Diabetic Mice Through a VEGF-Dependent Mechanism
OBJECTIVE High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein is a nuclear DNA-binding protein released from necrotic cells, inducing inflammatory responses and promoting tissue repair and angiogenesis. Diabetic human and mouse tissues contain lower levels of HMGB1 than their normoglycemic counterparts. Deficient angiogenesis after ischemia contributes to worse outcomes of peripheral arterial disease in ...
متن کاملMyocardial angiogenesis after plasmid or adenoviral VEGF-A(165) gene transfer in rat myocardial infarction model.
OBJECTIVE To compare gene transfer of plasmid (P) and adenovirus (Ad) encoding human vascular endothelial growth factor-A165 (hVEGF-A165) angiogenic efficacy and adverse effects as regards apoptosis and ectopic expression of the transgene in a rat myocardial infarction model. METHODS Myocardial infarction was provoked in Fisher rats. One week later, PhVEGF-A165, PLacZ, AdhVEGF-A165, or AdLacZ...
متن کاملVEGF-induced neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and angiogenesis after focal cerebral ischemia.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic protein with therapeutic potential in ischemic disorders, including stroke. VEGF confers neuroprotection and promotes neurogenesis and cerebral angiogenesis, but the manner in which these effects may interact in the ischemic brain is poorly understood. We produced focal cerebral ischemia by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 minute...
متن کاملSildenafil promotes ischemia-induced angiogenesis through a PKG-dependent pathway.
BACKGROUND Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a prevalent cardiovascular disorder that results in tissue ischemia which can progress to critical limb ischemia. Restoration of tissue perfusion in the setting of chronic ischemia through stimulation of arteriogenesis and angiogenesis remains a key therapeutic target for PAD. However, experimental therapeutics, including growth factor and gene ther...
