Epithelial growth factor

Prostaglandins, one of the most important epithelial growth factors, inhibit gastric acid secretion and have numerous mucosal protective effects, the most important of which include the stimulation of both mucus and phospholipid production, promotion of bicarbonate secretion, and increased mucosal cell turnover. Damage to the mucosal defense system is the primary method by which HP or NSAIDs cause peptic ulcers.

Local intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA or adenoviral vectors encoding vascular epithelial growth factor or fibroblast growth factor, both able to induce the formation of new blood vessels, have been used to improve microcirculation in ischemic tissue. Needle injection of plasmid DNA has been used in leg muscle, catheter application or needle injection was also tried in ischemic heart muscle. The formation of new blood vessels and an improvement in the microcirculation has been observed.
