Among various angiogenic factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) play crucial roles in regulating angiogenesis and vascular integrity. Infusion of angiotensin-II (ang II) induces hypertension and focal renal tubulointerstitial injuries. In the present study we investigated the renal expression of VEGF, Ang1, Ang2, and corresponding receptors in association with tubulointerstitial lesions in a rat ang II infusion model.
