Growth factor-induced therapeutic angiogenesis in the heart: protein therapy.
Therapeutic angiogenesis, stimulated growth of new vasculature to compensate for tissue ischemia, remains an unfulfilled promise. After nearly a decade of trials, the development of drugs capable of stimulating revascularization of underperfused tissues remains an exciting but unrealized goal in cardiovascular therapeutics. This review will summarize experiences in therapeutic angiogenesis stud...
متن کاملGrowth factor-induced therapeutic angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in the heart--gene therapy.
Myocardial ischemia is one of the most promising targets of gene therapy. Although several growth factors and delivery approaches have yielded positive results in preclinical studies, first clinical studies have shown little or no real clinical benefit to the patients. It is likely that less than optimal gene therapy approaches have been used so far, and more thorough preclinical studies are ne...
متن کاملTherapeutic Myocardial Angiogenesis Via Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Therapy
Amid the criticisms levied at gene therapy researchers recently, the positive (yet preliminary) advances in therapies designed to elicit angiogenesis for the treatment of ischemic vascular disease, such as the current report by Vale and colleagues,1 are a breath of fresh air for cardiovascular specialists and their patients. Although therapeutic angiogenesis is still in its nascent stages (and ...
متن کاملTherapeutic angiogenesis using vascular endothelial growth factor.
Therapeutic angiogenesis using vascular endothelial growth factor can reduce tissue ischemia by simulating the natural process of angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor not only stimulates endothelial cells to proliferate and migrate, but also mobilizes endothelial progenitor cells and achieves vascular protection. Besides direct administration of angiogenic proteins, plasmids and vir...
متن کاملTherapeutic angiogenesis in the ischemic canine heart induced by myocardial injection of naked complementary DNA plasmid encoding hepatocyte growth factor.
OBJECTIVE We investigated the efficacy of directly injecting a plasmid with complementary DNA encoding human hepatocyte growth factor into ischemic canine myocardium to induce angiogenesis. METHODS Four weeks after ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, 125 microg of a complementary DNA plasmid encoding the gene for either hepatocyte growth factor (n = 8) or LacZ (transfect...
