Different Activity of the Biological Axis VEGF-Flt-1 (fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase 1) and CXC Chemokines between Pulmonary Sarcoidosis and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Bronchoalveolar Lavage Study
Background. We have previously shown a different local and systemic angiogenic profile of CXC chemokines in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients compared to sarcoidosis. In particular, sarcoidosis showed an angiostatic microenvironment, as compared with the angiogenic cytokine milieu seen in...
