32
Q

What is the function of FGF-2 in angiogenesis?

A

stimulates proliferation of endothelial cells and promotes migration of macrophages and fibroblasts

33
Q

What is the function of angiopoietins in angiogenesis?

Structural maturation of blood vessels by the recruitment of pericytes and smooth muscle

34
Q

What is the function of PDGF in angiogenesis?

A

recruitment of smooth muscle cells

35
Q

What is the function of TGF-B inangiogenesis?

A

36
Q

What is the notch signaling pathway?

A

37
Q

What role do ECM proteins play in angiogenesis?

A

Form interactions with integrin receptors on endothelial cells and provide a scaffold for vessel growth

38
Q

What is the role of metalloproteinases in angiogenesis?

A

ECM degradation to permit remodeling and extension of vascular tube

39

Q

What is the most important cytokine for deposition of connective tissue in scar formation?

A

42
Q

What is the role of TGF-B in tissue deposition?

A

stimulates fibroblast migration and proliferation, increases synthesis of collagen and fibronectin, and decreases degradation of ECM by inhibiting metalloproteinases

43
