IL-6-VEGF-axis-induced glomerular microangiopathy may play a crucial role in developing acute kidney injury in TAFRO syndrome and the anti-IL-6 receptor antibody therapy may be useful for TAFRO syndrome refractory to glucocorticoids.
Microangiopathy in Naifold Videocapillaroscopy and Its Relations to sE- Selectin, Endothelin-1, and hsCRP as Putative Endothelium Dysfunction Markers among Adolescents with Raynaud's Phenomenon.
Cutaneous microangiopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes: Impaired vascular endothelial growth factor expression and its correlation with neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy.
The aim of our study was to compare microvascular changes examined by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) examination with serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in people with Type 1 diabetes with and without microangiopathy.

It suggested that salubrinal attenuated RNV in mRMECs and OIR mice by inhibiting CHOP-HIF1α-VEGF pathways and could be a potential therapeutic target for hypoxia-induced retinal microangiopathy.
In obese subjects, NOS3 4a (P=0.011) had a converse effect to NOS3 894T (P=0.043), and EDN1 8002T (P=0.035) on the prevalence of combined microangiopathy (neuropathy/retinopathy/nephropathy) vs. microangiopathy-negative subjects.
In conclusion, plasma ET-1 levels are well correlated with microangiopathy, hypertension, increased disease duration, and family history of diabetes, but poorly correlated with metabolic control, treatment modalities, age, sex, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and smoking.
Differential contribution of C5aR and C5b-9 pathways to renal thrombic microangiopathy and macrovascular thrombosis in mice carrying an atypical hemolytic syndrome-related factor H mutation.
Endothelial injury with consecutive microangiopathy and endothelial dysfunction plays a central role in the pathogenesis of the postenteropathic hemolytic uremic syndrome (D + HUS).
Establishment of an in-house ADAMTS13 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1, motif 13) assay in 2013 was used to prevent therapeutic plasma exchange in patients with non-thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura microangiopathy.
The congenital or acquired deficiency of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, ADAMTS-13 has been specifically associated with a diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a microangiopathy characterized by the formation of occlusive platelet thrombi.

CRP and soluble E-selectin were increased in patients with microangiopathy, compared with the control subjects ( p<0.01 and p<0.05), whereas von Willebrand factor did not differ between the groups.
To reconstruct the role played by vascular endothelium in the elevation of circulating von Willebrand factor (vWf) in diabetic patients with microangiopathy and, specifically, to determine whether storage and synthesis of vWf is altered in diabetic retinal vessels.
We here describe a pontine autosomal dominant microangiopathy and leukoencephalopathy pedigree with COL4A1 mutation presenting both pontine and cervical spinal cord involvement.
In conclusion, paraoxonase 1 activity plays important roles in the risk of DM, diabetic macroangiopathy and microangiopathy with ethnicity differences.
