On vascular permeability factor from the kidney cortex.
نویسندگان
چکیده
(1) The vascular permeability factor is present in the renal cortex. This factor has no pressor activity and is quite different from renin. (2) The vascular permeability factor has the characteristics of a protein. Immunoelectrophoretic study reveals a single precipitation line. (3) Administration of the vascular permeability factor to mice causes cerebral hemorrhage. (4) Rabbits subjected to renal ischemia develop cerebral hemorrhages but are provided protection against it through lanolin feeding. (5) Some evidence is presented indicating that the renal vascular permeability factor plays an important role in the development of vascular lesions.

Background and Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has turned into one of the main complications of the recent century, as this chronic metabolic disease could provide a platform for the formation of several diseases such as cardio-vascular diseases, neuropaties, nephropaty, and cancer. Angiogenesis has attracted the tremendous attention. This research was conducted in 1400 in Mashhad and its ...

Vascular permeability factor (VPF), also known as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), increases microvascular permeability and is a specific mitogen for endothelial cells. Expression of VPF/VEGF previously was demonstrated in a variety of tumor cells, in cultures of pituitary-derived cells, and in corpus luteum. Here we present evidence, by Northern analysis and in situ hybridization, th...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor from Embryonic Status to Cardiovascular Pathology
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. VEGF is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kDa produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly T ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and vascular permeability. In contrast to its transient expression during the formation of new blood vessels, VEGF and its receptors are continuously and highly expressed in some adult tissues, such as the kidney glomerulus and choroid plexus. This suggests that VEGF produced by the epithelial c...
متن کاملSemaphorin3A elevates vascular permeability and contributes to cerebral ischemia-induced brain damage
Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) increased significantly in mouse brain following cerebral ischemia. However, the role of Sema3A in stroke brain remains unknown. Our aim was to determine wether Sema3A functions as a vascular permeability factor and contributes to ischemic brain damage. Recombinant Sema3A injected intradermally to mouse skin, or stereotactically into the cerebral cortex, caused dose- and ...
