Peculiarities of vascular endothelial growth factor of oral cavity in atopic condition VEGF of oral cavity in atopic condition.

Abstract

Background and aimsVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is regarded as a potent stimulating factor for angiogenesis and vascular permeability and probably is connected with an inflammatory reaction. Our study aimed to determine the effect of VEGF in the inflammatory process in the oral mucosa of experimental animals in the modulation of atopic disease.Materials and methodsAtopic condition was simulated by the ovalbumin model. Obtained specimens of oral mucosa were examined histologically; immunohistochemistry was performed with detection VEGF, CD23, CD20.ResultsMost pronounced changes with twice increased expression activity of VEGF has been detected in the affected areas of the lamina propria and were associated with perivascular inflammatory microinfiltration, but unexpected expression in the epithelial layer has been revealed surround of intraepithelial inflammatory cells mainly. Pronounced correlations have been detected as VEGF and CD23 (r = 0.91), VEGF and CD20 (r = 0.87), CD23 and CD20 (r = 0.89).Discussiondescribed the changes in the tissues of the oral mucosa could be served as a basis for the development of preventive measures in patients with atopic diseases.discussionConclusionsActivation of VEGF is connected with accumulation of inflammatory infiltrate represented by B-lymphocytes, activated macrophages, eosinophils with a correlation in atopic process.
