Expression of Chitosanase-3-like Protein 1 in Outflow Tract Veins of Patients with Autologous Arteriovenous Fistula Failure and Potential Involvement with Phenotypic Transformation of Medial Smooth Muscle Cells.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Chitosanase-3-like protein (CHI3L1) serum levels are expressed at elevated levels in Autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction patients. This study was to investigate the expression and possible mechanisms of CHI3L1 in vascular tissues of AVF dysfunction patients. METHODS: Collect healthy venous tissue from the head of uremic patients undergoing their first AVF surgery (control group) and...
