Effect of cervical Luschka joint degenerative change on expression of VEGF and its receptor
To observe the effect of cervical degenerative change on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2).
Methods
2
The C
3
to C
7
segments of bilateral healthy cervical vertebrae of adult cadavers were taken as the control group, and the C
3
to C
7
segments of bilateral degenerative cervical vertebrae of adult cadavers were taken as the experimental group. The expression changes of VEGF and VEGFR-2 of the two groups were observed and analyzed by
immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining and real-time quantitative PCR.
Results
2
The protein and mRNA expressions of VEGF and VEGFR-2 in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences
(
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Cervical Luschka joint degenerative change significantly up-regulates the expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2, which is closely related to the microenvironmental changes around the Luschka joint caused by degeneration of joint-like structure.
