Toward surgical angiogenesis using slow-released basic fibroblast growth factor.
OBJECTIVE Therapeutic angiogenesis using basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in coronary artery disease has been documented in a number of papers. However, the effectiveness is discrepant among documents. In this study, we evaluated the distribution of bFGF in the rat heart by different administration methods, and investigated the efficacy of slow-released administration of bFGF using biodegr...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor differentially modulate early postnatal coronary angiogenesis.
The roles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF [FGF-2]) in early postnatal regulation of coronary angiogenesis were investigated by administering neutralizing antibodies to these growth factors between postnatal days 5 and 12. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting both revealed decreases in VEGF protein in the hearts of rats treated with eith...
متن کاملEarly coronary angiogenesis in response to thyroxine: growth characteristics and upregulation of basic fibroblast growth factor.
Although a substantial coronary angiogenesis occurs after thyroid hormone treatment, its regulation and relationship to cardiac hypertrophy are not understood. This study was designed to determine (1) the onset of capillary proliferation, (2) the sites of capillary proliferation, and (3) whether basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) upregulation occurs in response to thyroxine administration. M...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Therapeutic Angiogenesis Using basic Fibroblast Growth Factor in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study
Background and Objectives: Complete revascularization is not possible in up to 37% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Therapeutic angiogenesis may be considered as an option in the management of these patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic angiogenesis using basic fibroblast growth factor in patients with ...
متن کاملInvolvement of interleukin-8, vascular endothelial growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor in tumor necrosis factor alpha-dependent angiogenesis.
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a macrophage/monocyte-derived polypeptide which modulates the expression of various genes in vascular endothelial cells and induces angiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism by which TNF-alpha mediates angiogenesis is not completely understood. In this study, we assessed whether TNF-alpha-induced angiogenesis is mediated through TNF-alpha itself ...
