OBJECTIVE To measure serum laminin and angiogenin concentrations in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) Fontaine stages IIb, III, and IV. METHODS The study population comprised 38 patients (20 men and 18 women) with stage IV PAOD, 11 patients (six men and five women) with stage III PAOD, 18 patients (10 men and eight women) with stage IIb PAOD, and 23 patients (10 men and 13 women) with deep vein thrombosis. Fifteen normal subjects (matched for risk factors) and 10 patients (five men and five women) without PAOD served as controls. Serum samples were obtained at admission and serum laminin and angiogenin concentrations were measured using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Patients with stage IV PAOD had higher serum laminin (mean +/- SEM; 826 +/- 97 ng/ml) and angiogenin concentrations (467 +/- 26 pg/ml) than normal subjects (laminin: 379 +/- 21 ng/ml; angiogenin: 358 +/- 16 pg/ml) and patients without PAOD (laminin: 277 +/- 34 ng/ml; angiogenin: 406 +/- 25 pg/ml). A significant correlation was found between angiogenin and laminin and between serum laminin and fibrinogen concentrations in patients with stage IV disease. CONCLUSIONS Raised laminin and angiogenin concentrations may be indicators of endothelial damage caused by reduced vascular perfusion or compensatory revascularisation, or both.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007797 Laminin Large, noncollagenous glycoprotein with antigenic properties. It is localized in the basement membrane lamina lucida and functions to bind epithelial cells to the basement membrane. Evidence suggests that the protein plays a role in tumor invasion. Merosin,Glycoprotein GP-2,Laminin M,Laminin M Chain,Chain, Laminin M,Glycoprotein GP 2,M Chain, Laminin

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
