The Effect of Aerobic Training on Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 alpha & Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Expression in Cardiac Tissue of Diabetic Rats
Objective: The goal of this research was to determine the influence of 4 weeks aerobic training on gene expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In an experimental study, 30 male wistar rats were partitioned into three groups (n=10), d...
متن کاملPresence of tissue factor pathway inhibitor in human atherosclerotic plaques is associated with reduced tissue factor activity.
BACKGROUND Plaque disruption and exposure of subendothelial procoagulants such as tissue factor (TF) to circulating factor VII/VIIa (FVII/VIIa) lead to intravascular thrombosis. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an endogenous inhibitor of TF-induced coagulation that binds to factor Xa and the TF-FVIIa catalytic complex in a two-step process. The aim of this study was to determine the ex...
متن کاملShear stress decreases endothelial cell tissue factor activity by augmenting secretion of tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
Monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were activated with 50 U/mL interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) for 3 hours and simultaneously conditioned with shear stresses of 0, 0.68, or 13.2 dyne/cm(2) in a parallel-plate flow chamber. In the presence of an inflow buffer containing 100 nmol/L factor X and 10 nmol/L factor VII, production of factor Xa, a measure of functional tissue factor (...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor pathway.
New blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) is essential for the processes of tumor growth, invasion, and metastatic dissemination,1 and agents that inhibit this pathway, such as bevacizumab, have proven anticancer activity.2 Interactions between tumorand stroma-produced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ligands (particularly VEGF-A) and receptors (particularly VEGF receptor [VEGFR] 2) ar...
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 ...
