Abstract:
Objectives To investigate the relationship between angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor in patients with psoriasis. Methods The expression of VEGF and its receptor KDR, and micro-vascular density (MVD) were measured in 42 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 15 normal controls by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry technique, respectively. The concentration of VEGF in sera was measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and normal controls. Results ①The expression of VEGF mRNA and its protein, KDR, and MVD in psoriatic lesions were significantly higher than those in the normal controls (P
