Angiogenesis, promoting

Although the identity of the factors that promote angiogenesis in RA specifically still remain unclear, both synovial tissue and fluid are enriched in angiogenesis-promoting factors. These include cytokines such as bFGF, VEGF, and IL-8, and soluble VCAM-1 and E-selectin [38].

The role of NO in the metastatic process is only partially understood. The available literature suggests positive and negative effects of NO at different key steps, including arrest within the microvessels, the host inflammatory response, the interaction between cancer and endothelial cells, the survival and growth of invasive cells, angiogenesis promotion, and the regulation of tumor blood flow, or the adaptation... 

A particularly active area of research concerns the elucidation of the mechanisms of refractoriness or resistance to anti-VEGF therapy. Tumor cell-intrinsic or treatment-induced expression of angiogenic factors may be implicated Very recent studies have provided evidence that, at least is some murine models, refractor-inessm to anti-VEGF therapy is related to the ability of the tumor to recruit CDllb+Grl+ myeloid cells, which promote angiogenesis [5]. It remains to be established whether these findings also apply to human tumors. 

Upon resolntion of the pathogen, the second phase of wonnd healing occurs where re-epithelialization and neovascularization are essential for wound closure. Formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) (Barcelos et al. 2005 Roy et al. 2008), fibrin matrices (Midwood et al. 2006), and collagen deposits (Seppinen et al. 2008) are all events that promote the wound closure process.
