...-/- mice (KO-HSV group) and AT1-R antagonist-treated BL6 mice (HSV-ARB group). Morphological change and expression levels of type IV collagen, CD31, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were analyzed. Results: The HSV group showed increased mesangial matrix expansion on day 7, which returned...

... knockout mouse models are available to investigate haemolytic uraemic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and vascular endothelial growth factor-associated thrombotic microangiopathy. These models have shown that it is possible to model the human conditions. However, differences in human...

...Qingfeng Fan; Yan Xing; Jie Ding; Na Guan Background/Aims: The relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the phosphorylated critical podocyte slit diaphragm molecule nephrin is not fully clarified. This study investigated the dynamic changes in VEGF expression and nephrin...

... fibronectin mRNA and protein as well as the renal influx of monocytes/macrophages was significantly reduced in the everolimus group. Everolimus reduced the pro-angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF mRNA in glomeruli, while the transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway...

...Shinji Kitamura; Yohei Maeshima; Takeshi Sugaya; Hitoshi Sugiyama; Yasushi Yamasaki; Hirofumi Makino Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent endothelial cell mitogen that promotes angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and increases vascular permeability. VEGF is expressed in renal tubular...

.... Yuan et al. [ 6 ] demonstrated that downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may be functionally implicated in the progressive attrition of peritubular capillaries and tissue hypoxia in mouse folic acid nephropathy. Moreover, given that the size of the interstitial compartment...

...Robin G. Parry; Kathleen M. Gillespie; Peter W. Mathieson Visceral glomerular epithelial cells (GECs) are involved in the maintenance of the filtration barrier and may play a role in immune responses. Cytokines may act on GECs and we wished to test this in vitro. Vascular endothelial growth factor...
