Abstract
Angiogenesis is an important event in the development of allergic inflammation as well as in the pathophysiology of tissue remodeling in asthma. Increased angiogenesis is a well-documented feature of airway remodeling in asthma. Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing endothelium. Angiogenesis can be initiated by endogenous angiogenic factors released from mesenchymal cells or inflammatory cells. Under physiological conditions, angiogenesis is controlled by an equilibrium between pro-endogenous and anti-endogenous angiogenic factors released from the extracellular matrix to become bioavailable. The presence of increased size and number of bronchial blood vessels indicates that angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tissue growth and remodeling in asthma. However, the diagnostic significance of circulating angiogenic factors in asthma remains unclear. This review summarizes the role of angiogenesis in airway remodeling in asthma, and the potential diagnostic implications of circulating angiogenetic factors.
期刊介绍：
The journal features cutting-edge original research, brief communications, and state-of-the-art reviews in the specialties of allergy, asthma, and immunology, including clinical and experimental studies and instructive case reports. Contemporary reviews summarize information on topics for researchers and physicians in the fields of allergy and immunology. As of January 2017, AAIR do not accept case reports. However, if it is a clinically important case, authors can submit it in the form of letter to the Editor. Editorials and letters to the Editor explore controversial issues and encourage further discussion among physicians dealing with allergy, immunology, pediatric respirology, and related medical fields. AAIR also features topics in practice and management and recent advances in equipment and techniques for clinicians concerned with clinical manifestations of allergies and pediatric respiratory diseases.
