What is ENDOSTATIN?
Endostatin is the biologically active 20-kDa
C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII.
Which function does it have?Endostatin is a highly potent inhibitor of
angiogenesis: it induces microvascular endothelial cell
apoptosis and inhibits endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis.
What is the clinical relevance
of Endostatin? Remodelling of the extracellular matrix is
present in various types of renal disease e.g. in renal carcinoma and fibrosis.
Endostatin is currently being tested as an anti-angiogenic drug.
Endostatin levels
are associated with (click here to view summary of studies):
– kidney injury in the elderly
– cardiovascular events and survival in CKD subjects
– kidney disease and mortality in patients with type 2 Diabetes
– Endostatin may improve acute kidney injury risk prediction in critically
ill subjects
