Abstract:
AIM To explore the roles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in hypoxia pulmonary hypertension and effects of suramin. METHODS Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (N), hypoxia hypercapnia group(F), hypoxia hypercapnia +suramin group (S). The levels of VEGF in serum and in lung tissue were measured by ELISA, the ultrastructure of pulmonary arterioles was observed by electron microscopy, the expression of VEGF was observed by immunohistochemistry, the expression of VEGFmRNA was observed by in situ hybirdization. RESULTS ①Mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP), weight ratio of RV to LV+S, the leves of VEGF in serum and in lung tissue of group F were significantly higher than that of group N and group S (P
