Abstract:
Objective:The expression of endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), chemokine [monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and RANTES] in stenosis of autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in hemodialysis patients and their correlation with basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF).Methods:From March 2018 to April 2019, 90 patients with end-stage renal disease were enrolled in this study. All patients were given the first autologous AVF surgery, and 45 patients with AVF loss were in group Ⅰ, 45 patients with normal AVF were in group Ⅱ. The thickness and area of intima and media were measured. The expression of growth factors was detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between serum b-FGF and the expression of growth factors was analyzed.Results:The thickness ratio and area ratio of intima to media in group Ⅰ were larger than those in group Ⅱ ( P<0.05). VEGF-A, MCP-1 and RANTES were strongly positive in group Ⅰ and weakly positive in group Ⅱ. The expression levels of serum b-FGF, serum and tissue VEGF-A, MCP-1 and RANTES in group Ⅰ were significantly higher than those in group Ⅱ ( P<0.05). Serum b-FGF levels in group Ⅰ were positively correlated with serum levels of VEGF-A, MCP-1 and RANTES ( r=0.794, 0.523, 0.576, P<0.05), while serum b-FGF levels in group Ⅱ were not significantly correlated with serum levels of VEGF-A, MCP-1 and RANTES ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Serum b-FGF may play an important role in venous intimal hyperplasia by mediating the over expression of VEGF-A, MCP-1 and RANTES.
