Abstract:

The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) that develops to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and requires renal replacement therapy is increasing year by year. Angiogenesis factors and endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors play important roles in the progression of CKD. Angiostatin is an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor and a proteolytic product of plasminogen. Angiostatin has anti-angiogenesis and anti-inflammatory effects, which inhibits renal tubular peripheral vascular formation and slows down blood flow velocity in non-diabetic nephropathy. In the early stage of diabetic nephropathy, angiostatin exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). This review discussed the structure and function of angiostatin and its role in CKD in order to discover the role of angiostatin in progression of CKD.

Key words: Angiostatin, Chronic kidney disease, Angiogenesis, Anti-inflammation, Renal peritubular capillary injury
