Dephosphorylation of Y685-VE-Cadherin Involved in Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Barrier Injury Induced by Angiotensin II

Figure 1

Circulating AngII is elevated in the blood samples from AAD complicated with lung injury patients. (a) AngII was assayed by the systems for each marker in the human peripheral blood samples from healthy control volunteers (); patients with nonruptured, chronic aortic aneurysm (); AAD patients without ALI (); or AAD complicated with ALI patients (). (b) The concentration of serum AngII in AAD complicated with lung injury patients was higher than the other groups. versus control, versus AAD without ALI. AngII: Angiotensin II; AAD: acute aortic dissection.
