Serum levels of angiogenic factors indicate a pro‐angiogenic state in adults with sickle cell disease
24 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-induced angiogenesis may play an important role in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). Serum levels of angiopoietin (Ang)-1, Ang-2, vascular endothelial growth factor, placenta growth factor (PlGF), soluble tunica intima endothelial kinase 2 (sTIE2), erythropoietin (EPO) and endothelial activation markers (soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1) were...
