  • CMV = cytomegalovirus, MCMV = murine cytomegalovirus, MCP-1 = monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, PCNA = proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PDGF = platelet derived growth factor, SSc = systemic sclerosis, TGF-β 1 = transforming growth factor-β 1 , TUNEL = terminal TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, α-SMA = α-smooth muscle actin

  • Various growth factors such as angiopoietin (ang)-1, platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor-β as well as VEGF-A are also involved in arteriogenesis, and it may therefore be necessary to use combinations of these factors to obtain stable and mature vessels (Fig.
