How can you use “ang-” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It has been shown that increasing amounts of Ang-2 can block the chemotactic activity of Ang-1 in endothelial cells [ 21 ] . Ang-2 alone did not stimulate corneal neovascularization, but the combination of Ang-2 and VEGF resulted in longer vessels with greater circumferential extent than those seen with VEGF alone [ 9 ] . This suggests that Ang-2 expression in the absence of VEGF leads to vessel regression, whereas expression of Ang-2 in the presence of VEGF potentiates angiogenesis.
The dominance of Ang-2 over Ang-1 mRNA and protein in OA synovial tissue are in agreement with the inactive VEGF receptor 1 pathway (angiogenic pathway) in OA [ 24 ] . The Ang-2 mRNA expression pattern correlates with the Ang-2 immunostaining detected on endothelial cells.
Little is known about the role of Tie receptors and the ligands Ang-1 and Ang-2 in RA synovial tissue.
In RA synovial tissue, Ang-2 showed a lower percentage of staining in all the cell types compared to Ang-1.
Ang-1 staining on macrophages was also significantly higher in RA (39%) compared to OA (10%) and normal cells (0%) ( P < 0.05).
