Vascular endothelial growth factor gene transfer for diabetic polyneuropathy: a randomized, double-blinded trial.
OBJECTIVE Randomized, blinded trial of intramuscular gene transfer using plasmid vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to treat diabetic polyneuropathy. METHODS Diabetic patients with polyneuropathy were randomized to receive a VEGF-to-placebo ratio of 3:1. Three sets of injections were given at eight standardized sites adjacent to the sciatic, peroneal, and tibial nerves of one leg. Prim...
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 ...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cell vascular endothelial growth factor gene transfer for vascular regeneration.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have established that bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are present in the systemic circulation. In the current study, we investigated the hypothesis that gene transfer can be used to achieve phenotypic modulation of EPCs. METHODS AND RESULTS In vitro, ex vivo murine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 164 gene transfer augmented EPC pro...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene in Iranian Patients after Myocardial Infarction
Background: Stimulation of collateral artery growth (arteriogenesis) and/or capillary network growth (angiogenesis) would be beneficial to the patients with myocardial infarction. To understand the central role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in biological angiogenesis, we performed molecular analysis of the VEGF gene in patients afflicted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Me...

| June 2013 | 536 paradox. According to this hypothesis, it seems that during the short period, arteriogenesis is reduced in diabetes mellitus due to VEGF resistance, however, in long‐period, angiogenesis increases in spite of VEGF resistance the results of high and continuous stimulation of VEGF.[5] Increase in arteriogenesis is associated with collateral vessel formation, while, increase in a...
